    Parting out 1969 115hp

    I didn't see a classifieds section, so if this is the wrong place for this I'm sorry please move this. I have had a lot of help from the people on this forum and thought I'd offer you guys the first shot at parts as some are hard to find for this motor. It is an electric shift with power tilt...

    1969 115hp ate the piston?

    What would cause the piston to almost appear eaten away? I was going along and it fell on its face. I pulled to check for a fouled plug and saw aluminum shavings built up on one of the plugs. Put a new one in, that had shavings on it in the 5 minutes it took to make it to the dock. Pulled...

    Timing settings for 1969 Evinrude V4 115hp with Type 3 ignition.

    I'm looking to get my timing set today after replacing most of the ignition components. I looked in my manual and it says the timing settings for this motor are "4500 Mark". I'm assuming at 4500 RPM its supposed to be at a mark on the flywheel. The only thing is my flywheel has TDC and degree...

    Help with power trim, bleeding down, need rebuild.

    I have a 1969 Evinrude 115hp V4. My power trim will work enough to raise and lower the motor, but if you trim it up and hammer the throttle it pushes it right down. Also if left up in the air on the trailer it will bleed down. There is visible oil on the trim cylinder and hydraulic fluid...

    Hard starting when engine cold, fires right up when warm.

    Hey everyone, I have a 1969 Evinrude 115hp V4. It doesn't like to start when cold, but is fine after it is warmed up. I usually have to pull start it to get it going as the starter will get one *wap* out of it before not having the cajones to turn it over anymore. I have replaced the starter...

    Electronic Shift Not Shifting

    Hey everyone, I picked up a 1969 115hp with electronic shift. I've been having some issues with no spark, my starter was drawing too much on cranking (so I thought) so I replaced it. Still the same issue, cranked over really slow. Pulled the lower unit off to see if that made a difference...

    What Starters Are Interchangeable?

    I have a 1969 115hp Evinrude that needs a new starter. My manual says that they are all interchangeable for the V4, but the evinrude parts catalog and everything I find on ebay only lists them from 69-72 (IIRC) for 85-125hp. The ones from 69-72 are almost 25-50 dollars more than the ones for...

    1969 115hp No Spark Questions

    I've been running through the tests from the manual on my engine. I have 12V to pin 8/9 but when cranking, I get 6.6 volts off of pin 7. I bypassed the Ignition Safety Circuit with a jumper wire, as my tests showed it was bad (no voltage across it when wires hooked to pins 1-4 but 12v when not...
