    1st BIG Motor water pump install??

    I have replaced a multitude of 9 HP and smaller outboard impellors and a couple in my old 25 HP Evinrude but never jumped into my 50 HP 3 cylinder until now.. I'm guessing it will not be "That Much" different but after trying to find the specific info in my service manual I have a couple...

    Air/fuel screw setting on carbs

    I am at work and don't have my service manual with me so I can't remember exactly what the "Starting point" should be for the adjustment screw on my 3 carbs on my 1995 50HP evinrude. I think it said to start at about 1 3/4 turns out but after I rebuilt the carbs and link/sinked them I had 2 3/4...

    spark plug gap?

    My 1995 Evinrude 50 HP 3 cylinder states to have the plugs gapped at .030. My question is should I gap them at .026 to .028 because they gain some gap after they are hot?? One of the guys I work with at the firehouse told me I should do this?? I have heard a couple people tell me this but I not...

    Is my 50HP actually a 70?

    I have a 1995 E50 DTLEOS 3 cylinder 2 stroke. I was told by a couple folks that this year is the same engine as the 70 but it the carbs are jetted down to a 50 HP. Is there any truth to this? If so would it be smart to build the carbs up to a 70 HP?. Thanks for any info on my motor..Oh, It's an...

    trouble bleeding air out?

    Finally got my tilt/trim put back together and it seems that the frothy air bubbles just keep coming up? I lifted it up and down 5 times(like the service manual states) and each time it did seem to get a "little" better but there is still a slight pause from when the slow movement goes to fast...

    prop numbers question??

    I have a 13x19 stainless on my 50 HP evinrude and a 13 3/4 X 15 as a back up. I was wondering what bearing the "size" has on the prop and how it functions? I found an 11 3/4 X 17 stainless for a good price but I wasn't sure if the smaller diameter would be bad or good?? Any advice would be...

    Boat runs like a top..Thanks to all!

    Well I ran my boat yesterday for the first time after I did all the timing checks and adjusted all the link and sink stuff and it ran like a cat with an arrow in its butt. :D The timing was actually advanced so I set it at the 4 less (13) for WOT per the "Reeves" thread. Spark plugs were...

    "Reeves" timing question?

    My service manual says to set it between 16 and 18. With that said and the FAQ's thread by Reeves says to set it 4 less due to the advance at WOT what would be the best setting? Should I start at 17(I thought splitting the difference would be ok?) and minus 4 and set it at 13 or minus 4 from...

    My max RPM is only 4000???

    Well I ran my boat after the fuel pump conversion and it really runs good, BUT the RPM's still don't go above 4000. The compresion is good in all 3 cylinders, it idles perfect and jumps out of the water and I'm at 32 mph and 4000 rpm's without any bogging or anything. I replaced all the fuel...

    Fuel pump conversion worked..Thanks!!!

    I just finished up my conversion from the VRO to non-VRO on my 1995 50 hp 3 cylinder and it ran like a champ on the ear muffs in the driveway. I did have a gasket that was not seated properly on the lower carb float bowl but I got that squared away and I will be taking a ride on the lake in the...
