    What should the piston psi be on late 70s 2hp outboards?

    here one opinion from ai what would cause a 1978 2hp Evinrude to appear weak at wot if compression is ok If your Evinrude 2 HP Outboard (1978) has good compression but feels weak at wide-open throttle (WOT), the problem is usually fuel, ignition, or prop/load related. These small engines are...

    Check/Fix/Replace Starter Motor 1996 50hp

    suggest one rabbit at a time... leave key to OFF and don't involve timing issues... you can activate the starter cuircuit and do voltage drop testing by simply manually applying 12v on the solenoid control post which the key START position normally activates. have you shiny...

    Across solenoid IN post and B- (I used an engine ground point) - 0.0V before cranking, MAIN IN post on solenoid should always have 12v..! in fact its is suppose to equal the same as reading the voltage across the battery posts since the engine frame ground is the same referrence as the...

    Check/Fix/Replace Starter Motor 1996 50hp

    I don't really know where you are at here but rightly or wrongly I can't see how the ignition /kill circuitry would contribute to the starter problem unless somehow it contributes such a high amperage drain worthhy of smoking up the place being low drain elements to begin with. That said...

    Throttle lever assembly pin

    Aside from a OEM part how about just a small bolt with a nylon lock nut. that would keep it in place . if needed to hold the spring install 2 extra washers and keep the bolt loose a bit to allow movement. if the original pin extends below the female section and has a hole in it...

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    just position the piston to close off the in-out ports half way down and you can clean the exhaust section and just run a narrow vacum tube hooked-to to the vacum cleaner to suck out the debris nothing will enter the cyl chambers . Doesn't need to be shiny!!

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    Actually it wasn't that bad I just used a small scrapper for the big chuncks and while the GC was off I ran a stiff BBQ brush with SS bristles down the exhaust section. I suspect if one wanted to do a 100% clean job a good pressure washer would blast the crud away real nice butall I did...
