    1977 Evinrude 75 hp on 16 fiberglass runabout prop question

    1977 Evinrude 75 hp on 16 fiberglass runabout prop question

    That is what I was thinking, the motor has ~120 psi in all 3 cylinders, new plugs (Champions), carbs have been gone through last year, sounds good, just not a real power house, not sure what else to check there, link and sync is good too. if I figure correctly, if I were to go to a 13 pitch...

    Installing Nova II electronic ignition module in 1958 Evinrude 3 HP

    1977 Evinrude 75 hp rough idle and occasional bog on take off

    I just picked up a 1977 Evinrude 75 hp motor, it starts pretty good but idles rough, it will idle smooth then occasionally cough and eventually cough and die. I had it out one time so far and after good and warm it didn’t want to take off, it would rev in neutral but just start to rev in gear...

    1972 Chrysler 20 hp Runs intermittently
