    Champion J6C plugs

    Hey y'all, I've been working on 1963 Evinrude 40 HP for a while now. After replacing the ignition system, I spent days fine tuning the ignition system. I finally got it to where it starts almost instantly every time. I took it on the lake, in it acted like it was running on one cylinder. I...

    Gorilla construction adhesive

    what size evinrude to buy

    I have a 1973 Rivera 17' fiberglass boat roughly 1200 lbs 6' wide at the transom. I am not sure what size motor to buy for it to get it on plane. I can't afford a new fancy motor so I'm limited to the old school models. I'm running a 1956 evinrude 15 HP for trolling and it works great for...

    1963 Evinrude 40 hp lacking power

    I recently purchased a 1963 Evinrude 40 HP lark V selectric shift. I am able to start it no problem, it idles OK, could use a little tune up, probably a carb adjustment or cleaning. Shifting works, has an even 80 psi using the pull start, haven't checked that yet using the starter. I pulled...

    1964 75 hp junction box on a 1963 40hp

    I recently purchased a 1963 40 hp Evinrude electric shift which did not come with any controls (got a hell of a deal) I also found a good deal on a push button selectric shift which also came with the junction box and all the other electrical goodies. My understanding is the 40 hp uses a dc...

    Evinrude selectric control

    Hello, I have a 1963 Evinrude 40 HP lark V I am looking for controls for. I found one that seems like it might work, but I have not been able to identify if it will or not. From what I can tell after researching part manuals, this controller started being used in 1970 on the larger HP motors...

    1958 18 hp johnson dual motor setup?

    Is it possible to setup two 1958 18 HP Johnsons motors? I understand in dual motor setups its best to have the props spinning in opposite directions. Can these motors be altered to do that? Also, if this can be done, would it make much of a difference if one was an 18 hp and the other was a...

    1958 Johnson 18 hp surges and dies at wot

    Hi all, I am new to boats and outboards. I purchased a non running 1958 Johnson 18 HP for cheap, and spent the last five months bringing it back to life. I replaced the ignition, broken shifter, gear case seals, carb kit. I tore the whole thing apart, stripped, primered, and painted it (this...
