    1987 Johnson 60hp 3-cyl warning horn

    Hi Guys, I was wondering if someone could give me some insight regarding an issue I had this weekend with my Johnson 60hp. After fishing for about an hour (sitting, engine off) I went to go restart the engine to move to a different spot. Usually there is a chirp when I turn the key but this...

    Hi, I installed a factory omc tachometer on my 1987 Johnson 60hp 3cyl outboard last year. I used the factory harness and plugged into the throttle control box. It worked great all last year and then all of the sudden it started burning this weekend. The needle melted and the glass screen...

    2000 Evinrude Ficht Stalls While Trolling

    Gotta a question for ya. Today I was out on the lake and after about 15 mins of trolling in a slow-no-wake zone my engine started to sputter and die like it was being starved of fuel. Primer bulb was firm, but pumped it anyways and after 2-3 minutes the engine fired back up only after I had the...

    2000 Ficht 75hp Rev Limiter

    Hey guys,<br /><br />I had heard somewhere that there is a rev limiter on my 2000 Evinrude Ficht 75hp that would stop the engine from reving over 5250 which is max recommended W.O.T. Is that true? The reason I'm asking is because I got a comprop for it and if I hit something with the prop and...

    Hey guys,<br /><br />I have a question for you. I have a 2000 Evinrude Ficht 75hp that has an intermitant knock to it at full throttle. It does not sound like a ping but more like a metal hitting metal sound. Any idea what that might be? I haven't pulled the plugs yet, but I know they were...

    Prop Selection

    Hey guys,<br /><br />I hope all is going well. Got a question for you. How come there is no literature anywhere regarding a 2000 Ficht 75hp? Was that an engine that was introduced in mid year? The reason I am asking is because I have been looking around for a SS prop and all of the prop...

    Carbon Gaurd

    Hey Guys,<br /><br /> I talked to the local Evinrude dealer a couple days ago and asked him about "carbon gaurd". He said that if I am running the new OMC Ficht Oil that the oil already has the additives from carbon gaurd in it and there was no need to add carbon gaurd to the gas tank...
