    1986 Evinrude 110 fuel issue?

    Unless you purchased carburetor kits, you didn't fully clean the carburetors. In order to really clean those carbs, you have to remove the lead plug (#2 on attached picture), the cover plate (#1) and really clean out those small passage inside there, and remove and clean out the passage on #3...

    Water pressure gauge or water temperature gauge?

    If you had room on your dash panel for one more gauge, and you had everything you otherwise needed, which of those would you choose for a 2 stroke?

    '98 115 Yamaha runs hot if over 4,000 RPM's

    I've considered running with thermostats out, but wasn't sure if that was a smart thing to do Constantly overheating and backing off throttle to cool down is obviously not too smart either. Yeah, I limped all the way home yesterday at about 3800 RPM's (25 MPH), it was a relaxing, fun ride home...

    my 115efi mercury idles high. Can I adjust it lower,and how?

    Absolutely! Simply screw the idle adjustment screw counter-clockwise until you get the idle adjusted to manufacturer's specifications. I could help you, but I have no year model, model number or enough information to determine what carburetor you have. Once you figure that out, I'm sure you...

    Mariner HP & Model decode.

    No idea. Might want to look around under the cover for more numbers. As I'm sure you've discovered, searching this number doesn't render any results.

    1966 Johnson Motor

    Control cable with only 3 wires? I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Pics, where does this "cable" originate and end?

    '89 100hp Merc 4cyl oil injection-runs on 2 cylinders

    Go to a national auto parts store and get a $10 spark gap tester and set it at 1/2". Test each plug wire to make sure spark is sufficient to jump the 1/2". That will eliminate the ignition system. Next, while it's running on less than all cylinders remove the carburetor cover and spray some...

    '98 115 Yamaha runs hot if over 4,000 RPM's

    Late spring, I replaced the water pump, removed cylinder heads and exhaust cover and cleaned out all sediment (there wasn't much gunk in there), replaced poppett valve and checked thermostats. They both opened and closed at the correct temperature. Today, any time I got close to WOT, it would...

    1988 GT 150 Revs to the moon upon start,

    Did this just start out of the blue? What have you recently done to the motor? I think we need a bit more info. I would have to assume your sucking in air somehow, but not sure where. When you say, "when you first crank it up......" Does that mean it eventually settles down and runs normally?

    1986 90 hp johnson idle and ramp up issue

    I'd order carb kits and tear into the carbs. You'll need to order carb kits because there's a plug that you'll need to knock out to get to some passages that need to be cleared out. I've attached a diagram of your carbs. Pay specail attention to #3, #7, #13, and if you don't knock out plug...

    Hopkins 4 pin tester

    I drive a Chevy Colorado and have had to replace my adapter box about every 2 years. Most auto parts stores actually have them in stock or you can buy from Amazon. I think the manufacturer is the same either way. There's a lot that goes on inside that box.

    Carburetor's

    That makes good sense. So you move the controller to full throttle and then turn the motor with the starter only to check timing. Cool.

    Sitting in a hotel room when I don't wanna... Hurricane Idalia

    We traveled to Atlanta when hurricaine Floyd was headed our way. Short notice of mandatory evacuation for all surrounding areas. Traffic was a disaster. It's 250 miles from my house to the hotel we were staying in. The drive took 23 hours!! Bumper-to-bumper traffic on the interstate the...

    Carburetor's

    You guys actually crank up your motors and run the at WOT to check the timing? I've never had to do that before! On my Yamaha's and I think on some OMC's there are marks on the timing plate that you line up with other marks and simply put the control in WOT position and set the timing plate...

    Sitting in a hotel room when I don't wanna... Hurricane Idalia

    I live in Savannah. I can't count the number of times we've evacuated, fought traffic, spent money that was for a nice vacation to go out of town for a few days, and then return to find I had a few extra pine cones in my front yard, but there was no real need to leave. So, we decided we...

    Looks like the upper fires 1,5 and 3. If I'm following the wires correctly.

    Rebuilt Carburetor… Still No Idle!

    The smallest outboards that I've ever done any real work on was a 25 HP Evinrude and an ancient 18 HP Evinrude. I guess I assumed that they were all similar to that. Recently, it's been mostly V-4's in OMC and Yamaha. That's a different animal I guess. I'm just trying to help here, but I'll...

    86 Mercury 25XD Wont Run.

    If the plugs are wet, It's probably running too rich. When you say you've cleaned the carbs, did that include complete disassembly, soaking overnight in carb cleaner and after that blowing out all passages with compressed air? Some of those older carbs had brass floats that would develop small...
