    preignition vs idle timing on 95 175hp oceanpro

    I read a post recently about a burned piston due to preignition (early timing)in a 3 yr old motor. I recently replaced powerhead and did the 10hr break-in. My wide open timing is 28° btdc and I verified with a light (still shaking from the experience). The manual calls for 4° atdc as the idle...

    WOT forum vs. manual

    Guys<br />I've learned alot from here and do not in any way doubt your wisdom, but why do you recommend 5500-6000 rpm for a 1995 175 hp evinrude (previous post during a search) when the manual gives a range of 4500-5500? I notice not just this motor but several others that you recommend proppin'...

    Ran fine at 3800rpm for 15 min and then started surging. Thought it was weed, cleared lower end, and motor stalled when restarted. Started again,put in gear and stalled again. Shutdown and removed cover. All plugs looked fine (wet), heads were warm but not hot, but had a "hot smell". The timing...

    95 175 evin opro carb fuel leak

    Motor is great. Boat is moored and engine is tilted up after use. Approx. 2 or 3 thimbles full of fuel collects in the lower pan after each use. How much is too much and floats need adjusted? Will this have any adverse affects on anything else?

This also occurs with the slightest pressure on the trigger plate. The trigger plate is sloppy when you...

    1995 evinrude 175 hp cyl numbers

    Looking at the motor from the boat, how are the cylinders numbered. If only the st'bd side are working, I guess it's either the shift switch or power pack. How do I test to see what it is? Is the st'bd side 1,3,5 or 2,4,6?
