    65 33hp broken fitting

    While working on the motor I noticed that the fitting directly under the carburator is snapped off. The hose leads to a fitting at the top of the engine on the right side. Try as I might I can't get the fitting out, besides that it seems like something is blocking it because I can't get a wire...

The owners manual is pretty insistant on that product, needless to say finding that is out of the question. So my question is, what gear lube...

    resurrecting 2 old evinrude 33 hp

    I just "inherited" an old cadillac 16 ft and 2 evinrude 33 hp engines, 1 a hand start and the other an electric start. The 33's haven't run in years (dont know much history on them) so I'm looking for suggestions on my next step. Both turn over very hard with th plugs in, a lot easier w/o...
