    Loses power at 5000 rpms

    Could be that SPECIAL sweet tea...none of that funny stuff in there I hope! Lol.... Get an IR gun and shoot the temp at where the head meets the block. Also shoot around the T-stat area. Blockage, bad impeller, T-stat, and overheat sensor are all suspect. Pretty sure that's made by Suzuki.

    Those motors have different carBUTarators. Lol...to the 15 year old, might be a little confusing. I'll see if I have some newer info. Peace!

    1976 johnson recoil start 15 hp

    Does fuel shoot out when you pull it over indicating a good fuel pump? (Fuel line at carb) Also, did you do the wd-40 trick?

    1985 Evinrude 70 driving me nuts

    Vro still on it or has it been deleted? Tell tale stream only tells you the impeller is good so buy an IR gun and shoot around. Do you know how to test the overheat system? Learn how if you don't.

    1981 35hp evinrude. What to do next.

    I've restored a bunch of those...for some reason I had to redo the wiring harness on the motor...wires rot out. Peel back some of the tape and look at the condition of the wires. Compression is good, now do a spark gap test...looking for a 3/8 gap test. Easy to sink to much money into these old...

    1976 johnson recoil start 15 hp

    Those will run with slightly lower compression. Those big recoil gears are tough to pull. Not sure whether yours is wrong without pictures but when I get an old 9.9 or 15 I pull the rope out as far as I can and spray a 1/2 can of wd40 in there. Then crank it a bunch of times. Always works way...

    Johnson won't start

    Run it, get back and check for water after an hour or two of it sitting. Their pretty tough. Best is a vacuum test. 12 lbs for 10 minutes. If it doesn't hold then I pressure test as to where to find it. Vacuum tool isn't that pricy. $300 is fair to pretty cheap though as long as he's using...

    Tilt and trim bracket cracked

    Whole motor has to come apart....that's an Asian motor of some king, maybe a Suzuki. I'd just grind it in place and tig it the best you can....maybe reinforce it with a plate of some kind then take it out and try to have it fly off...better off without I hate to say.

    Johnson won't start

    Might want to pull the starter apart and service it as well. Clean, ohm out and brush kit. 6 out 10 on the knowledge level.

    Can anyone help me with removing a flywheel?

    Besides being corroded on, your flywheel had to be rotten as well. To much exposure to the atmosphere.

    Can anyone help me with removing a flywheel?

    Purchased about 5 outboards and the frustrated seller complained it had a locked flywheel. All came off in minutes.

    1978 Evinrude 208CR02 parts cross reference — can I use 25803C parts?

    Does it have the through exhaust propeller? Should be able to use anything in the year as long as the gearcase is the same. Other gearcase has a cone on the back of the prop. Carb exchange is all you need to up the power.

    Evinrude 40 hp trim removal

    Not really sure of how you would "Cut it away" but possibly. I would think doing it the way I describe wouldn't take and longer...at least actual cutting time. Done plenty myself that were completely salted up... The pin will also be stuck in the t&t too so I can't see listing it without that...

    Evinrude 40 hp trim removal

    Trim pin or the t&t unit lower pin? Either way, heat and lots of it....then melt wax in it....do it many times until they come out with a drift pin and hammer.
