    validate my compression please

    '82 35hp evinrude. about 143# cyl 1 about 150# cyl 2. (measured about 30 minutes after coming out of the water) The book says to validate "high" compression. "high" is kinda arbitrary to me! Had it out for a few hours today. After running at WOT for about 15-20 minutes (crossing lake...

    exhaust relief ports

    So the 1982 35hp tiller I picked up runs pretty well. It took a bit to get her going but after she was warmed up one pull started her. Some issues I noticed... The tell tale was strong at first then got weaker. When I inspected it after I got off the water I found a small piece of debris in...

    So I bought the 1984 35hp evinrude.....

    Which according to the model (e35rcnd) it is a 1982 35 hp not a 1984. I Paid $350 for it. The prop is a little beat and could use a replacement. the plug boots look worn and probably should be replaced. I did start it. The pull is jerky. Sometimes I can get full extension out of the rip...

    1984 35hp vs 1991 25hp

    Is there a reason I would consider the 1991 vs the 1984 given same mechanical condition? The 84 with pull start and short shaft is $375 (seems cheap to me). the 91 (10hp less then the 84, still pull start and short shaft) is $1075. Thanks for your help again. You all have been very helpful...

    should a 77 johnson lock when tilted up?

    Question about a 77 25 hp short shaft johnson I am looking at purchasing. When you lift the motor out of the water, should there be a lock bar that keeps the motor in the up position? my newer 15hp has the lock bar but the 25hp I was looking at does not. I went to shop.evinrude.com to look at...

    1977 Johnson Seahorse a good deal?

    I can buy a 1977 johnson seahorse 25hp short shaft with electric start and a charging system for $500. It seems to be in good running condition. He offered to take my 1993 Evinrude 15hp short shaft pull start in trade. I'm thinking my Evinrude is worth more than $500. Are these older...

    is this motor a good deal?

    I currently have a 94 evinrude 15hp short shaft manual start. I use it on a 16ft aluminum boat with 3-4 adults in it. A local marina has a95 mercury 25hp short shaft missing the cowl for $750. How does the mercury compare to the evinrude? Is the merc at $750 a good price? Thanks!

    Can I install an electric start?

    Hi! I have a 1995 (i think) Evinrude E15REOD (serial # G 03962648) with rope start. I'm wondering if I can convert this to electric start as a winter project. Also, the engine does not seem to want to idle. It runs like a champ with a little bit of throttle but if allowed to idle it dies...
