    2009 Yamaha 25 ticking in neutral

    I bought a 2009 Yamaha 25 hp 2 stroke long shaft tiller steer. It runs great but when in neutral, I can hear a ticking noise from the prop area and the prop continues to slowly turn. I can push back just a little and the noise and the prop stop. When I let pressure off the shift handle, both...

    Motor swap- wiring questions

    I am trying to put a 1989 Evinrude 25 HP, remote steer, electric start on a boat that had a 1997 Evinrude 40 hp on it.

    Gear oil leak 1985 9.9 Evinrude

    I have gear oil coming from a hole that is on the left side , near front of the motor, above the gearing . This would be as the motor is mounted on the boat and you are looking at the back of the motor. It does not seem to be leaking from the rear of the motor around the prop, so I am guessing...

    1984 Johnson 15 hp issues

    I have an 1984 Johnson 15 hp -model #J15RCRM-. When I bought it a few months ago, it was hard to start the first time, but then was fairly easy to start- 5 or 6 pulls- after that over the course of several weeks. I ran it in a barrel with a heavy dose of Seafoam. It would idle as long as I...

    25 etec fuel pump/vapor seperator ??

    My 2010 model 25 hp Etec is giving me fits. I have only used it one time since last summer. Go out and put it on the garden hose and it fired right up, ran it for a few minutes and figured it was good. Got it to the lake a few days later and it fired right up, take off, and it is running fine...

    My 2000 model 115 Johnson ( model number JL115PLSSB) has developed a miss, but not all the time. I have cleaned the gas tank out, run Seafoam, B12, and Evinrude conditioner thru it - on different tanks of gas- and it still is missing. The pattern is that it starts easy and idles fine. I can...

    In replacing the recoil starter rope on my 1982 Evinrude 15 HP I discarded the part called "starter spring retainer- part # 323654" thinking that it was a broken off piece of the spring. I replaced the rope, put the starter back on and then the recoil spring broke after a few days. Is this...

I took the carb off, cleaned it, put in a new float, and float needle- I did not pull the knock in plugs but did spray carb cleaner through all the orifices I could find. Reinstalled carb and motor will start...
