    Is a 1959 10hp Evinrude worth anything?

    Hey guys, just got a 1959 10hp Evinrude in a storage unit sale that I purchased really cheap. ($100 for the contents of the unit) The motor looks to be mostly complete and will turn over. It is missing the fuel line connector to the carb and has been painted an ungodly camo color! Is this thing...

    I have a 1984 15hp that runs great in the driveway in a barrel but will not rev up when I put the boat in the water???? It is on a 14ft Alumacraft jon boat and it barely makes a wake. Any ideas?? I have replaced the points and condensers. Could this be a timing issue? This motor had not been...

    Plug and point gaps on 1984??? 15hp Force ?

    Does anyone know the correct point settings and spark plug gap on a 1984 15hp Force outboard? My friend "loaned" me his to use until I can save up the cash to buy a motor, of course, "it may need to be tuned-up"! Didn't have any spark at all, I replaced the condensers and points and now have...

    120hp L-drive stator orientation?

    I have a 120hp L-drive that I thought had a bad stator. Once I removed the flywheel I discovered that the stator was not orientated as it was designed. This is the red encapsulated stator. On the top of the stator there is a sticker that reads, " On 70-120hp Mercury and Force engines install the...

    "Candy Bar" stator question???

    I have a 1992 120hp L-drive that has an aftermarket stator (red) with what has been called a "candy bar" between the stator and the switchbox. Does anyone know what this small (1/2" x 1" x 4") item actually does? It is wired between the stator and switchbox and is grounded. Does anyone know how...

    120hp L-Drive wiring question??

    I have a 1992 120hp L-drive that I'm trying to chase down an electrical demon. My Clymer manual has everything BUT my complete wiring diagram. Does anyone out there have one they can share?

    21' Maxum - Correct prop?

    I have a 1992 21' Maxum cuddy cabin with the "dreaded" 120hp Force L-drive. The boat weighs about 1800 lbs. with 2 people aboard and at WOT turns about 4400 RPM. Not sure of speed since the speedo is not working! I'm having trouble getting it up on plane. It takes about 5-7 seconds before it...

    120hp L-drive problem!

    I just bought a 21ft. '92 Maxum Cuddy Cabin with a 120hp L-drive engine. The boat runs great for about 15 minutes and then will only get to about 2800-3000 rpm and naturally will not get upon plane. It is NOT overheating and will run at full throttle again after letting it sit for about an hour...
