    Sealant for Gas Tank Gasket

    I know the gas fitting you refer. How do you get the fitting apart? Where do you find the o-rings? For some reason the right side does not " seat" up next to the housing .

    Sealant for Gas Tank Gasket

    Not for sure where the 3 O-Rings in the Outlet housing are located. I replaced the end connections on both ends of the fuel line and installed a gas filter since the metal tank could have some contamination. lt looks good. No rust.

    Sealant for Gas Tank Gasket

    I have a 1972 Johnson metal tank with the fuel guage on it. It was leaking at the guage gasket. I removed the old gasket with a Dremel wire brush and now replacing it with one I cut out. I see Pematex sealants come in many colors. Which one do I need for a sealant on the gas tank?

    Remove Gas Plug at Carburator, Gas Tank leak, Water Pump replacement.

    I have a 6 hp Evinrude 6804B my 90 year old neighbor gave me. (1) I was going to clean out the caburator by taking out the drain plug but it will not come out. It is round. I tried PB Blaster and after waiting over night tapped it with a socket to help "shock" it. Does not move. I replaced the...

    Gas Tank on Spitfire 115 TideCraft

    You are correct Mike. There is an anti-siphon flapper on the gas feed line. I purchased a hand siphon pump (Harbor Freight) and a 5-foot clear hose. The siphon pump hose fits inside the clear hose. This allowed me to move the hose inside the tank. The Harbor Freight hose was too limp. This being...

    Gas Tank on Spitfire 115 TideCraft

    How do you remove the hoses? I can get to the vent hose as shown in the picture. The gas fill hose and where the fuel line attaches I cant get to. The live well under the seat will not allow the tank to move toward the front of the boat. The tank is too large to remove through the access hole...

    Gas Tank on Spitfire 115 TideCraft

    I have not had my boat in the water for about 4-5 years. I see there is still about 4 inches of gas in the tank. I disconnected the gas line, removed the pump bulb, and tried to get more out but I can't get it to start to flow. I removed the bulb and tried to blow on the line but seems stopped...

    Repair shop for CMC Actuator model 7050

    My 7-year-old tilt CMC PT-130 motor stopped working. I removed the Actuator and opened It up. The brush housing had corroded and the brushes would not slide. I cleaned it up and now they work the problem is I can't get the motor back in the housing because the magnets grab the stator. Also...

    The Power Trim operates the Choke Solenoid. 1977 Evinrude 85HP

    I do have power trim and it looks like he found the first positive terminal and ran a wire from the terminal to the switch and then to the choke. There is another wire on that terminal which is probably the trim wire.

    The Power Trim operates the Choke Solenoid. 1977 Evinrude 85HP

    I purchased a 1977 85 HP Evinrude and the Power Trim switch turns on the choke. It is connected to the screw on the far left of the electrical strip and goes to the choke solenoid. The Solenoid also works with a doorbell switch which was installed. I din not know the trim was activating the...

    How do I Test CMC PT-130 Power Trim

    I took off the Power Trim unit and removed the top two screws. It does have corrosion on the brushes which does not allow current to get to the armature. They have frozen up. Where can I get the brushes for the PT-130 and the O-Ring for the housing? Also when aligning the pivot pin I can get it...

    1977 85 HP Evinrude Tell-Tail (Pee Hole)

    I put water mufflers on my 85 hp and I see water coming out the Pee Hole about 1/8 inch in dia. I put my hand on the engine next to the sparkplugs and the engine is cool after running about 3-5 minutes. Is the 1/8 in water spout ok or should it be larger? Would the stream be affected by the...

    How do I Test CMC PT-130 Power Trim

    My Power trim was working yesterday. I later tried it and it would not work. I disconnected the battery wires to the Tilt motor only leaving the black and white wire going to the tilt motor. I put Aligator clips on them and connected them to the battery and nothing happens now. I have 12 volts...

    1969 Johnson 20 hp Dies on Slow Idle

    I rebuilt the carburetor and put in new gas pump. Starst easily if I choke it but always have to choke even if has run for 5 min. I turn the gas throttle handle as far as it will go in the start position, choke it and it starts without any issues. If I turn the gas throttle down 1/4 turn it...

    Electric Starter 20hp Johnson 1969. Sprocket drive gear comes up while running.

    I start the motor and the starter sprocket gear goes down but there isn't any thing to keep in down. Then while running about every minute or so the sprocket slowly comes up and hits the fly wheel. Just a nick and goes back down. Then repeats. I may have missing parts or aligned in the wrong...
