    1990 evinrude 9.9 - question about cooling

    Hey all, it's been a while, yes i'm still alive and well and now messing with my own hunting motor. 1990 9.9 - we ran it last season without a hitch. This season, a week ago, we went out to setup for the hunt. Upon our return the motor smelled like it was burning- I put some water on the top of...

    Been a while- I took on a job, I swore i'd never work on someone else's motor again!!

    Spring is here, out of the blue I get an email from some gent who got my number from a previous service job I did. I made it VERY clear from the start, I can fix your motor but you will have to pay for parts up front- owner agreed. I still have my Thundercraft with the Merc TOP and I still...

    Got my inline dialed in tonight '69 Merc 1000

    I decided over the winter to bite the bullet and swap out my Johnson 90 for a 1969 Merc 1000. I got the boat back a week ago with the new to me 1000. I serviced all 3 carbs. It ran like a dream on muffs, don't bother tuning these motors on muffs folks, waste of time. It took me about 45 minutes...

    KB Series Carb - 1962 6 hp fuel leak- KB6A

    There is a hole in the float bowl cover. Gas spews from it when I pump the bulb, is it just an incorrect needle and seat setting?

    My zephyr

    Well - it runs- had the lower off today, no water in the gearcase, pumps at first startup then it stops pumping. Took 30 pulls to get it going. Ran it for 2 minutes, after 30 seconds water stopped coming out the exhaust hole. Shut it down, put compressed air up through the exhaust then restarted...

    QD-23 Pull Start

    Mine is missing the 2 link bars that go to the plastic piece. 203713- I called the dealer and they don't have em, several dealers that it. I tried making them yesterday using a piece of throttle cable from a lawn mower. They worked until I bolted up the recoil and started the motor, they got...

    50 PSI on both cylinders (hasn't run in a decade so I'm sure I can get it higher), all new everything under the flywheel however missing all the carb control parts - knobs and such and 1 of the little recoil springs is gone, should I or shouldn't I part this thing out? Should I revive it...

    Gearcase Interchange 1969 Johnson 20

    The gearcase chart doesn't go into motors this small. I can get a gearcase from a 76 25 hp Evinrude which shows the same gearcase housing part number and driveshaft, the forward gear is a different part number. I'm thinking it will work, opinions? Thanks

    1969 Evinrude 25 clear lines

    I'm working on this motor, I have a clear line that's been cut on the left side of the powerhead at the very bottom (not a bypass cover) and a smaller clear line that's been cut at the front of the powerhead right under the flywheel. I'm thinking it's a recirculation line, gas comes out of the...

    1965 Mercury 350 ignition woes

    I'm working on this motor. Owner brough it home and it had spark , he decided to let his dad re-wire it. I had a look at a wiring diagram online and it corresponded to the keyswitch colour codes which tells me its a 65. His dad ran it the same as the PO had it wired and they said it melted a...

    51 QD-12 Check Valve Question (pics)

    When I got this motor running yesterday it had lots of pressure to the tank. When I pulled the carb to clean it I noticed the one check valve had come off of the spring so I reattached it and put it all back together. I ran it and it died and I discovered I had no more pressure to the tank. So I...

    Unknown year Chrysler 9.9

    Got it on a parts trade, neat little motor and would like to get it running. Issue- seems like it's missing something or a mount in the leg is broken. I can grab the lower cowl at the front and move it by hand and it appears as if the powerhead base (where is bolts to the exhaust housing) is...

    Converting the 76 15hp ignition

    I'm about to convert my Points/Condensor setup to CD Magflash. I have the flywheel, magplate and powerpack and the plate/bearing underneath just not correct coils. The coils on the 76 are BRAND NEW. From what I can see in the wiring diagram the stop switch is obviously wired different, the 2...
