    Ignition issue 73' Evinrude 115

    At the end of last season, my motor was running OK, until the afternoon of that last day. It started missing and loosing power. I checked compression on all cyls and it looked good. This spring I replaced all of my coils and plugs and took her back out. Had exactly the same behavior...

    Replaced SS 21p with SS 20p and had interesting results.

    I replaced what I believe is an OEM OMC 21p prop on my 1973 115 Evinrude with a Michigan Wheel 13x20p. The boat is a 16ft Dixie Devil Ski Boat. The reason I changed props is because the boat was not able to pull me out of the water when attempting ski behind it. At one point I did have a 115...

    1973 Evinrude 115 Ignition Problem

    I was running WOT down the lake and my engine died. It didn't sputter or give any other sign of trouble. It was as if the ignition was simply switched off. I see molten dark green goo underneath the flywheel. This leads me to suspect the stator has melted down. To troubleshoot the stator, I...
