    1986 Evinrude outboard

    thats a PREMIX only motor! thats TCW3 oil (synthetic recommended but any TCW3 will do) and NOT lawn and garden or jet ski/snowmobile oil. i sure hope the previous owner didnt run strait fuel through it!

    1956 Johnson 6hp versus evinrude 6hp pros and cons

    I always thought the strongest 6hp made was the top-mounted version with the big 8hp ports. obviously an 8hp would whoop a 50's 7.5hp, and its usually lighter and similar price. the 8hp was a completely different beast power-wise than the 6hp same year.

    1986 Evinrude outboard

    be sure to get a big syringe or turkey baster and test the bottom of tank for water intrusion, and soapy water after squeezing the bulb to make sure there are no air leaks.

    something new coming in electric OB

    unless you are rich and have your own powersource at your own private dock, where are you going to charge these things? big marinas will not let you tie up their shore power for anything less than a fortune, and on any given summer day they are booked months sometimes years in advance. also, a...

    Evinrude 40hp Water Temp alarm

    the overheat alarm should sound right around 200f (90c or thereabouts) so 82c is odd, especially since you say its not hot. what are you using to measure temp and where on the block? cylinder head temp is taken at flat spot on top of head at 900rpm. these will run warm if the RPM is too low, but...

    1988 Johnson GT150 acceleration issues

    id remove the heads to inspect cylinders now on description of lenght of time this motor was run in this horrible lean condition. as soon as i sense something isnt right with any motor, i immediately head back to the dock and keep tapping the primer.

    1999 Force/Merc 75HP 3 Cylinder 2-Stoke Rough Running Issues

    you may want to test running voltage at each CDM module with a DVA adapter. I would just rule out any issues there since you did so much with fuel. these merc ignitions are very simple as the CDI is built into the ignition coil and can be tested easily. i have the same one... quite rare 3 carb...

    1972 Chrysler 55hp Burning Up Coils

    also the coils need to have a ballast resistor and are NLA but you can use others of the same spec. which ones are you using?

    1972 Chrysler 55hp Burning Up Coils

    yes... the condensors need to be absorbing enough voltage. but keep in mind if the ignition is on, it will constantly feed 12v to the coils. id think that would also damage the points. i changed mine to the gammatronix setup used in motorcycles with the same ignition. amazing. points will...

    Suzuki DT65 ,wonder if anyone could tell me what this hole is and what is meant to be there ..any advice would be appreciated

    cant believe no answers. that was for the temp sender that went to the overheat alarm. you can use current part # or any sender that fits really just as long as it closes around 90c.

    Suzuki DT V6 rebuild- tool needed?

    Any Suzuki guys that have done rebuilds on the DT V6 2 strokes? The manual says you need special tool cylinder alignment plate where the engine holder goes (under oil seal plate) . it gets torqued BEFORE the cylinders do, presumably to align the cylinders. has anyone done it without it, using...

    What might be a concern

    for me the value goes down as soon as some genius takes it out of the crate and starts it bone-dry with a 20+ year old impeller only to not use it and put it up for sale.
