    Remote throttle/shifter + steering for 15HP tiller steer

    Great idea, thanks. I will probably end up going this route.

    Remote throttle/shifter + steering for 15HP tiller steer

    Dumb question, why does it look like that tube pivots? Don't I want the tube to remain stationary while the linkage handles any movement at the connection at the carry handle?

    Remote throttle/shifter + steering for 15HP tiller steer

    Great info, thanks. So it looks like I would need a pull model, as the lever on the side of the engine that I can attach the cable to moves towards the front of the engine as the throttle is advanced.

    Remote throttle/shifter + steering for 15HP tiller steer

    Gotcha. Interesting that looking through all the variants of the 87 9.9/15s I couldn't find the tilt tube even on the electric start models. Those same parts diagrams are where I got the part # for the remote control kit for the shifter/throttle. Maybe just all the parts diagrams that are...

    Remote throttle/shifter + steering for 15HP tiller steer

    I bought a nice 1987 15HP 2-stroke (model # 15SH) that I'd like to convert to remote throttle/steer. I got lucky on eBay and found a new-old-stock "remote control attachment assembly" part # 6E7-48501-50 and installed it. So now I have all the linkages for throttle and shifting ready for...

    Mercury 110 (1971?) - common repair items on this engine?

    I have a Merc 110 (serial #3019010) that I bought from someone at work for $200. He says it ran a few years ago, he bought it from an estate sale, but it doesn't appear to have been used much. I took the carb apart and cleaned it out, then I ran it in a drum for a few seconds, it started and...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    All good, at least we know the internals seem to be in good shape, and I'll have a freshly sealed up powerhead.

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Got it torn down all the way. Everything looks good to me. Not perfect, but good in my opinion. Plenty of pictures below to check out. I can finally confidently say I don't think piston skirts is the problem. Intake side of crankcase Crank and pistons still in case Center crank bearing...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Completely understand. I hope you don't mind I pick your brain on here instead. It would be greatly appreciated. I got the powerhead off again and started disassembly. Got some pictures. Don't have the crankcase split apart yet. I don't want to take off the exhaust port covers as those...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    I have tested with timing light, have not seen any ignition issues. I will tear it down and take pictures. If I cannot find anything wrong will re-assemble with the rest of the new gasket kit for the powerhead, and test run again. I don't think you are near me (I'm in North Carolina USA), but...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Fair enough. So I know you are very experienced with these engines racerone, what would your thoughts be on this engine if not a carb issue?

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Original sensor coil tested good, although the voltage produced was WAY higher than spec when tested with DVA. Replaced it early on in my testing on this motor, although I believe there was no issue with the original sensor. New aftermarket power pack, still have what I belive is the OEM...

    Yamaha 4SG leaking water around tilt lock plate pin

    I just had it running in a drum again and noticed that along with bubbling water and pressure (appears to be exhaust?) around that pin/grommet, it also bubbles out around this black plug on the side. I pulled the plug and shined a flashlight up the exhaust and noticed this whole area is just...

    Yamaha 4SG leaking water around tilt lock plate pin

    I noticed when running in a barrel, my 4SG ('88 4HP) has some water leaking out around the pin that pushes up on the tilt lock plate when the engine is in forward gear. See picture below. Can anyone help me identify which seals/gaskets I need to order? I _think_ part #11 in this link is the...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Yeah I've been using the 4 horse on the inflatable, had it out today actually. That little Yamaha runs great, although it really struggles to get that boat up on plane, but usually I'm just out there to fish so I'm happy to putz along at 1/3 throttle anyway and take my time. I don't know if...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    I'm 99% sure it's an 8HP. The freeze plug on the block is stamped with E8RERE which from the serial decoder things I've found mean its a 1994 8HP. Looking at the paint on the engine where it meets the lower housing I didn't see any signs of the powerhead having been removed before. I don't...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Yep, larger number, smaller hole. I doubt its going to fix anything anyway, but I could see it letting too much fuel into the idle circuit with too large of a orifice, so we'll try and see what happens!

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    The OEM nozzle well arrived today, and you are right, it is supposed to be a #3. The carb on this engine when I bought it had a #2 in it. The other eBay carb I bought had a #4. #3 is what this carb is supposed to have. #2 appears to be the largest, and as the number molded on the bottom of...
