    Should water come out from these holes?

    I have recently replaced this lower unit, and ran it for the first time this past weekend. I am wondering if I got the water tube fished into the right place, because water squirts out of the little holes in the lower unit (leg). Water does mist out of the exhaust though. Is this OK, or did I...

    I knew I would screw something up

    I posted in the past that I was going to replace a lower unit on a 1969 Evinrude 18hp Fastwin. Well, when the time came to do it, all was good until I snapped one of the 1/4-20 stainless bolts off in the cast aluminum leg. Luckily, I was able to complete the rest of my little project without a...

    Early 1960s 18hp Fastwin Lower Unit

    I recently bought a 18hp Fastwin. The problem with it is the lower unit is broken. By "broken" I mean that the very bottom part of the lower unit, the part that you have to take off to access the gears and prop shaft, has pulled loose, and brought with it some of the cast aluminum threads. I...

    Engine will only run when choked or partially choked.

    I have finally gotten good fire to both of the cylinders and I had the carb cleaned on my 1982 Sea King 15 Hp. It starts and runs when choked, and will idle roughly until you turn it off. I think that its just running way to rich. The problem comes when you try to turn the choke off.. its...

    How are the Coils connected onto the Stator Plate?

    My question is reguarding a 1982 15 HP Chrysler Sea King. Model # VWB 52118A and Serial # 2022. How are the coils connected to the stator plate? I see that it is connected by a "Coil Wedge Spring" in my manual, but how is this disconnected? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I...

    How do I test my coil, also what year is it?

    I have a 15 hp Chrysler Sea King, model # 52118A, and Serial # 2022. What year is it? Also, how do you check the coil on it? It is not sparking on the top cylinder and I have already replaced the points and condensers. Thanks in advance!<br /><br />Jacob

    How do you properly set point gap?

    I have recently purchased a 1981 Chrysler Sea King 15 hp. It does not run, so I decided to take the initiative and learn how to work on it. I firgured that I would start by purchasing an ingnition rebuild kit. Installing condensers, and the points seems rather simple, bolt on and wire up the...
