    Backfire but wont start - Low Compression?

    75-81 that is low in my opinion. I have a 15 hp and I’m getting like 110. Make sure throttle is wide open when you do compression check. Crank it about 6 times or until needle stops..

    Battery to motor connection. 15hp Evinrude w/electric start.

    This is the SAE battery cable connection I was referring to making. The one coming from the boat will have the same SAE connector. I will connect them on the lake so my push button starter will work, then when I park the boat in the garage, my trickle charger has the same SAE connection. Just...

    Electric start with push button.

    Yes, it does so I will use those. The instructions call for me to use an OMC moly lube on the crankcase boss? What else can I use in place of that? Some marine grease?

    Bolt length and thread pitch

    1993 Evinrude 15hp

    Ok thank you flyingscott. Yes, the lake I fish the most is idle speed only. So I never really get to hit WOT. And yes I will fish for more than 30 minutes using trolling motor. Then start the 15 to move to another spot. I know it’s not great for the motor to just idle all the time, should I...

    1993 Evinrude 15hp

    Still trying to fine tune this carb. When I first start this motor on the water, I have to choke it and let it warm up. After I idle to where I’m fishing and fish for awhile. I usually have to choke it again before it will start. Is this normal or is it running to rich? Thank you..
