    1981 Evinrude 35HP E35RCIG. Need help diagnosing mis misfire at all speeds. Videos.

    Hi Everyone. I'm borrowing this motor from a friend as a "try before you buy" deal. It appears to be misfiring throughout the RPM range. I have four short youtube videos showing it in WOT, Mid range, Idling in gear, and idling at the dock. The motor kicks pretty hard when it does it at the high...

    Neptune H2707RF

    Hi everyone. I have an old friend with a half dozen old motors he'd like to clean up and sell. He's got about fourty years on me, so I'm the internet guy trying to track down info on value and parts availability. One of the motors is this Neptune that has numbers that don't appear on the...

    '75 Rude Magneto slop, report on repair, looking to buy used assembly.

    I posted earlier about this problem, and thought I had it solved via JR Reeves method (lightly hammering down with a punch against the brass hold down ring) and some other suggestions. It was only a short term fix. I even removed the brass magneto plate insert/bushing, put a micrometer all...

    1975 Evinrude 25HP No Start, Post Tune up, Magneto Plate slop

    I think I was going about posting wrong by tagging onto someone else's unanswered post. This motor was given to me and was running SO poorly. It would hardly idle, and at lower RPM's would do this bum.bum.bum.bum.bum.WHACK.bum.bum...and the whole motor would **** it's head to the side, so to...

    Looking at 84 40HP Mariner with unavailable coil

    Going to look at a boat tonight with 40 HP Mariner. He says he thinks it's an 84. Says the coil is bad from when they took the flywheel off and drove a screw through the coil. He also says the coil is unavailable from Mariner and might be hard to find. Any idea if these coils can be find (and...

    Mercury 110 HP? Picture attached

    I'm looking at a 16' jon boat with a Merc 110. I haven't seen it in person, and the owner isn't sure what HP it is but he's guessing around 20HP. I don't want to drive an hour only to find it's a ten horse. Any ideas based on the pic? Also, if you know what HP it is any other thoughts about...

    72 6hp: Just changed points etc. Where's that pill of lube go?

    Just replaced points, coil, condensers on a 72 6hp seahorse. The points came with a little clear capsule of lube. The wick is already oiled, so where's the lube go? My manual says to use OMC sealube on the crankcase pilot boss for the stator plate. Is that the floating plate that the stator...

    72 Johnson Sea Horse 6HP: Running Poorly: Ign Miss? Carb?

    I have a 72 Johnson seahorse 6hp long shaft on a 12? jon boat. The problem is that it lacks power/ is running poorly. I?m not sure if it is a miss or a carb issue. I have a lot of hours invested in trying to fix this with no success. I?ll try to describe the symptoms and some of the history...

    rebuilt carb, getting fuel to carb, no fuel to engine

    I've got a 1964 Johnson Seahorse 6hp that I just rebuilt the carb for. It's got spark, and when I remove the plug in front of the carb fuel comes out (but then stops, should it be constant?). I sprayed a bit of starting fluid in the venturi and it fires nicely. It seems to be a carb...

    '64 Johnson Seahorse 6HP: Long to short Shaft Questions

    I've read the posts on converting from long to short shaft and vise versa, but am wondering about a few additional things: 1) a source for used parts and/or 2) a proper venue to offer a trade to someone wanting to go long: perhaps we could just switch parts. (Chattanooga craigslist would...
