    1958 5.1/2 hp Evinrude model 5516 cowl removal

    Will someone please explain how to remove the cowl from a 1958 5.1/2 hp Evinrude model 5516. I know the one side swings up, then? It's time to convert to single line and fuel pump. Thanks for your time and consideration in advance.

    1955 25hp Johnson RDE-17 compression

    I have been kicking around the idea of a make over for a 1955 25hp Johnson RDE-17 It checks out a 90 top and bottom on compression. Now, that's pulling the beast because it has no starter. The motor is in a wonderful cosmetic state. Should I find a starter and try again or part out the...

    83 15hp Evenrude takes to many pulls to start

    I have a 1983 15hp Evinrude e15rcta. Very well maintained, sat for a number of years with the previous owner as a back up, which hardly got used. 100 on both cylinders, has good spark and we rebuilt the carb. We also installed new fuel lines, fuel connector, thermostat with seal and cover...

When I pulled up on the housing the drive shaft slipped out of the lower gear case with it. My questions: Should the drive shaft slide out so easy? Do...

    1984 Johnson 8 hp J8RCRM spark plug gap

    what do I set the gap on my 1984 8 hp Johnson at? I pulled the plugs to check them and dropped one right on the gap. Now one is set at 030 and the other is 035. I walked away for a week, now I forgot which one is which. What is the right one please?

    There is a small hole next to one of the lower gear case bolts aft of the propeller. If you're looking at the propeller, it's top starboard side. Never knew they had one. I was testing the motor in a tank, I walked away for a few minutes and had oil water when I returned. Any suggestions on what...
