    Questions on transducers

    I'm leaning towards the Lowrance HDS Gen3 9" screen bundled package. It comes with the LSS-2 and an 83/200 KHz transducer. I want to make the best out of the CHIRP. The sales guy at Bass Pro told me today that I won't get CHIRP using the 83/200. He said I needed a chirp ducer. Is this correct...

    Any secrets to rebuilding carbs?

    I own a 70 hp evinrude which I rebuilt the motor and the carbs. My friend has a 2003 115 yamaha with two carburetors. He's bought the carbs kits and wants me to do it for him. Basically, will there be any surprises? Without going into long detail are there any steps that I should take? Wayne

    Inline fuel filter & primer bulb

    When I pump up the primer bulb it gets hard like it's suppose to but the inline fuel filter is only about 1/3rd full. When I run it on muffs or in a test tank it doesn't even look like it has fuel in it but the motor is idleing. Is this normal? Wayne

    Hard starting '92 70hp evinrude

    Hi all, it's been awhile and here goes. My '92 70 horse evinrude has always been alittle hard starting at the dock. Once started and warm she's off and up on plane, no problem! When I sit and fish for awhile, it can be a problem starting. The motor acts like I have to pad the throttle like on a...

    Survey/Technical Question about '92 70hp evinrude

    For those of you with a '92 70hp evinrude, I would like to know what color the wire is that comes from your engine temp switch! Not the sending unit going to the gauge but the switch which triggers the over-heat alarm and sends the motor into S.L.O.W. mode. I've had intermitting over-heat...

    Question about J. Reeves WOT timing procedure

    I have a '92 70 horse. I'm reading where it says to rig a spark plug tester and have the gap set at 7/16". I have one, but do I need three? It says to "have the s/plugs out". If I only need the one then what would I do with the other two spark plug boots? Wayne

    '92 70hp is still getting hot.

    I gave up and called a mobile mechanic who twice now has not shown up. He did mention pulling the gear case down and attaching a water hose to the water tube and checking for a blockage as a starting point. Does anyone know what I be looking for? Would I be running the motor or not? Would the...

    How do I check the temp gauge?

    I've read posts here before on how to do it. I ground the temp switch wire with the key on and the gauge does what? Mine pegs on the other end of the gauge when I ground it. The sending unit is brand new. Wayne

    Do I have to pull the powerhead???

    I have a problem with overheating on my '92 70hp evinrude. I've rechecked the water pump that's new and hasn't seen water except for muffs, I've moved the water indicator fitting from the lower exhaust cover to the top of the motor per the service bulletin. This motor hasn't had a t-stat since...

    Overheating on my 70hp evinrude

    Ever since I put the t-stat in that was missing when I bought the boat it's been overheating. I've moved the water indicator for the pee hole from the lower exhaust manifold cover to the top of the block per the service bulletin, still overheats. Checked the t-stat in boiling water and it opens...

    I really need some direction for overheating

    Once again, I have a '92 70 hp evinrude. Bought the boat in April '07, it did not have a theromstat in it. From April 'til July the motor went down hill. I pulled it apart and found pistons and cylinder walls trashed. I have since rebuilt the powerhead, soaked and rebuilt the carbs, installed...

    '92 70hp evinrude overheating!?

    Just got done fine tuning the motor. Took it out for a sea trial, the motor runs pretty good. At idle the water temp is at 160 degrees then shoots to 220 @WOT. On the muffs it also idles at 160. This motor did not have a thermostat when I bought it and I did not know this until after re-building...

    I'm very concerned, I need some knowledge!

    I'm not sure what "coughing and/or sneezing" is but my '92 70hp evinrude seems to be coughing or popping out the exhaust and spitting fuel out of the top carb at the same time! I pulled this carb and cleaned it, also re-adjusted the float level and blew into it to make sure it's working. I...

    How do I know if?

    How do I know if my cylinders are getting fuel from the carbs? For instance, a boat mechanic said that I had a stuck float needle valve in one of my carbs. If I don't get fuel to the cylinders then I get no lubrication! What can I do at home to check this once in awhile? Thanks, Wayne
