    1990 evinrude 150 (35 amp system ) charging problem

    I noticed that my system isn't charging the battery. I first noticed it on the GPS system which monitors voltage. I had another rectifier so I just replaced it and was getting 14.5v at the ramp for a quick test. I took the boat out today and noticed everything was fine (30 minutes) then no...

    Evinrude 150 - link and synch

    After idle is adjusted I move to the cam follower adj - this is where I get a little confused. As I understand the book, when you move the throttle, the first mark on the cam follower should start to touch the carb at 7 degrees. If I set that correctly and go to full throttle the carbs don't...
