    1989 E150 water in spark plug

    I have a 1989 E150TXCEM, today I found a light green frothy water mix on one of the spark plugs, after looking at them for cold start difficulties. The funny thing is that, that cylinder is also dead of spark, as verified by meter. Could it be that if I had spark there I would be burning gas and...

    fishfinder pinging through fm stereo

    My fishfinder is pinging through the fm stereo, when fishfinder is turned off it goes away. With a CD in the stereo it does not happen. Does this mean that an in-line filter on the 12v will not help? If the stereo reception/antenna is picking this up is there any cure? I went to Radio Shack and...

    E150 Crankshaft thrust??

    Hello,<br />I have an Evinrude 150, 1989, E150TXCEM. I have had the outboard for two years. It runs great. Although last year I noticed a ticking sound at WOT, and found it to be the flyweel fins hitting the cowl. I noticed the rubber bumpers that hold up the cowl were degraded and replaced...

    Evinrude 150, idle problem

    Hello,<br />I have 1989 Evinrude 150, V6. The idle speed changes seems to change on its own. When I am driving along and take it out of gear it idles at 1000 RPM. When I start the engine, (warm or cold), It idles at 800 RPM in nuetral. This sometimes causes it to stall when dropped in gear...

    I put a previous post on this evening questioning prop size to power loss in not getting over 3500 rpm. I have since gone down to the dock to look at it. I started it and noticed Gas/oil mix coming back out of the black plastic carb cover on the 1989 Evinrude 150. Could the jets or floats or...
