    1973 Evinrude 25 sneezing

    actually... at idle ....the fuel is extracted from the upper section of the carb so the welch plug cavity is a critical path to check out. the top half of the carb's side channel leading to the upper cavity & idle screw is a very narrow passage and also needs a close inspection ...

    1999 Johnson 2 stroke primer issues

    find the wire on the primer.... backtrack to the switch find the same wire ... if the switch puts out 12v you should have 12v at the other end of the wire on the primer if not the wire is open or connections are oxydized . a grounded wire would cause a blown fuse

    2 stroke winterizing?

    fogging cost nothing to speak of ... keeps the innards oily and feels good :-) 55 years + boating I always fogged the outboard but strangely I never bother about the 2 stroke lawn mower and they never complain :-) Lawnmowers usually fall apart before the engine kicks the bucket. IF OB...

    Evinrude ficht 150 2002

    much like the newer ETEC EMM's the former EMM on FICHT is not likely to be able to detect anything but electrical problems on injectors. ( short /open...) it can not see anything mechanically flawed leaving you with the option of having the injectors serviced if....they can be after...

    carb gets fuel it seems ....plugs are firing...it seems ..when was the carb serviced last ? ... doesn't take much to suddenly plug up the jets , orifices , idle needle . try feeding the fuel mix directly into the carb face with a spray bottle and see if you get a reaction.

    1957 fd-11 johnson lower keeps leaking

    To answer that question notice how the bolts are inside the "spaghetti zone) and are potential "leak contributors" if not sealed properly. The manual is specific in regards to this and sealant must be applied to threads . A small dab of sealant under the screw heads ensures a 100 % seal...
