    Remove VRO & Vacuum - 1991 150HP

    I have a 1991 Evinrude Nitro 150HP motor that I want to remove the VRO from and start mixing my gas. I have purchased 2 different books that are supposed to show everything for that motor but they don't. It seems like the 1991 was a one year wonder, or at least the VRO/Vacuum combination...

    Suzuki Control Key Switch

    I have a 1985 DT115 that I recently acquired. The motor is fine but I have a problem on the control box. The ignition switch does not seem to have a key. Instead, there is something covering the key hole (or where I assume the key hole is) and it does not turn in either direction or come out...

    1991 Evinrude 150 Tracker Wiring

    I just bought a 1991 Evinrude 150HP Tracker. The VRO has evidently been disabled but all components and lines are still there. I have a wiring diagram of that motor but it does not show the 4 wire plug that goes to the VRO. It is presently unplugged. It looks like this is a standard fuel/oil...

    Mercury Model Number

    I am trying to purchase parts for my 1995 Mercury 25HP electric start motor. The tag on the mount shows the serial number as OG338911 and in another box is written 1996 25 EL. I have looked on Mercury's site and know my motor was produced in 1995 because the bottom right hand box is marked 95...

    What Year Model is it?

    I have what I beleive to be a 25HP Evinrude, probably late 70's or early 80's. It has a 25HP top cowling but it could be a different HP. The model number plate is missing from the transom mount but the number on the engine's nickle size silver plate is G2614099. I was told that this was the...

    Suzuki Oil Sensor Gauge

    I have a 1985 Suzuki DT55 and I am missing the Oil Sensor/Level Stick from out of the Oil Tank. I have contacted local dealers to no avail. I have looked on the internet but cannot find one at any of the normal parts dealers. Does anyone out there know of a place that deals in used or out of...

    1985 Suzuki 75HP Foot

    There is a guy who wants to sell a 1985 75HP motor that is missing the foot. I have a 1985 55HP with a bad power head. Does anyone know if the foot on the 55HP will fit on the 75HP? Thanks

    115 Evinrude looses power when hot

    I have recently bought a 115 Evinrude, about mid 80's I think, and the previous owner told me that when it ran at WOT for a few minutes, the motor would slow down drastically as if it were not getting enough gas. For some reason he had the head gaskets changed (He didn't say if they found...

    1985 Suzuki DT55 Oil Injection

    I have a 1985 Suzuki DT55 that I have just put a new piston in. I no longer trust the oil injection system and don't want to put out any more money to have it rebuilt. I want to remove it and just mix my gas and oil 50/1. When I look at the system, it seems as if the oil injection not only...

    Removing Oil Injection

    I have a 1985 Suzuki DT55 that I am going to remove the oil injection system from tomorrow. I have studied the manual quite a bit and come to the conclusion that I can do this in several different ways. 1) I can leave most of the system in place and just plug up the input and output of the...

    What Kind of Bolt is it?

    I am taking apart a 1982 90HP Evinrude and just exposed the crankshaft. The bolts that hold the back part of the piston arm to the crankshaft are not 6 sided. They appear to be round & splined. I count 12/13 splines, each protrudes about 1/32 or less from the head. The size is about 3/8" I...

    1987 Merc Black Max Overheating - Maybe

    Took my bay boat out today and had a little problem. At first it ran great but after a few miles it -maybe - started to overheat. At least the alarm started to sound. The water pump has recently been re-worked and the tattle-tale has plenty of water coming out of it. I live in Louisiana so I...

    1981 90HP Evinrude vs 1982 115HP Johnson

    I sure hope someone can help me. I have a 1981 90HP Evinrude with a blown powerhead but it looks great. I also have a 1982 115HP Johnson that runs good but is ugly as sin. Just looking at the two, they look almost identical. I have looked up the piston numbers and they are the same for both...

    Help With 4HP Sears (McCollough)

    I recently acquired a 1967, 4HP Sears/Ted Williams air cooled outboard. On the drive shaft, just before it enters the foot section, there is a ?bearing? or something that the shaft goes through. It is held in place by a rubber bushing. The ?bearing? is round but the hole where the shaft goes...

    Sears Outboard Identification Help

    I just bought an old Sears outboard and have looked on the net but cannot find the model number anywhere to identify it. Can anyone help? The model number is 571-59660. As best as I can tell, the Serial Number is 8/60C-10-7902. Can anyone tell me the year, who made it for Sears, and the...
