    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    New update (newbies pay attention) DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PLAY WITH YOUR ELECTRONICS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I decided to bypass my blown fuse to attempt to confirm if I need any other parts. Everything instantly died. I panicked and thought I just created worst case...

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Update: I have found out it's a 20amp inline glass fuse. I have sourced an aftermarket powerpack emp 300-07010, it appears to be the same aftermarket one currently installed based on pictures. Screwed up my shipping address (went po box instead of street address) and the website won't update...

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    So, yes I am in saskatchewan. South central, fish on deifenbaker. I re tested spark with both plugs removed at the same time so cranking rpms weren't an issue whatsoever. No spark cylinder 1, brought spark over by swapping cylinder wires on power pack. Also, idiots like me should be baby sat...

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Appreciate it. They do not have one in stock. And considering the cost of one is about the cost of what I paid for my boat I'm not eager to pull the trigger without doing all the free testing I can. I do not own a multimeter. I am taking your advice of battery testing or rather ensuring full...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Oh I'd love to just spend money on a new boat. Budget says keep this half floater for a few seasons. I'm willing to do a little work, within reason. If this doesn't work I become boatless for a while.

    I I've got another forum going on too, lost spark to cylinder one. Never bothered checking compression. Surely it'll be fine lol.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Well it is now. After sitting for probably 3 years some issues are coming out. See how much money I need to sink in it if any. So far it's served it's purpose as a bay floater. I catch fish from it so that's all that really matters.

    So I also swapped the 5 and 6 wires from that box to see if that would chase the spark (2 and 3 wires stayed 2 and 3). Spark stayed the same, only cylinder 2. Does this sound like this box is this issue? Thanks for all the help.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Swapped the cylinder 1 and 2 wires in this box here. Spark followed to cylinder 1 accordingly and cut off at cylinder 2. So ignition coil is good. Any idea what is in-between this box and ignition coil thay could be faulty? Spark jumps plenty according to my eye, but my glasses are a little...

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Can now confirm, no spark cylinder 1. Good spark on #2. Swapped the two plugs to confirm and it's definitely a cylinder 1 issue. Do you know of any other wiring to check before I get into having to source and replace an ignition coil? Thanks.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    I just finished checking tdc and I'm good. Basically perfect. Some jackoff stole my good sockets from my van and I don't have one big enough for the fly wheel now anyway. Battery has seen some drain over testing but I wouldn't say enough to be an issue yet. Still seeing those high cranking...

    Just had to Google that. I'm only moderately good with wrenches. Learn by the seat of my pants kinda fellah. I'll give it a go. Can't be that hard right? Thanks.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Howdy, As the title says. Story: Motor hits a wall on revs under load. Did up both carbs with new needles, floats, and gaskets. Cleaned up all jets. Carbs were actually fine after getting into them but replaced and cleaned stuff anyway. Motor fires right up. Screams to life and happy days...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Took much longer to find time to get the boat on the water. It floats! Or at least it doesn't sink fast enough to cause panic lol. I'll be making a new post now about some engine troubles if anyone is willing to help. Gosh dang boats are aggravating apparently.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Oh that's a good idea, boats are cheaper without motors. No bilge on this old girl, just an access panel I cut in the floor to poke my head in. Nothing is pretty about this thing except the new cabelas seats the previous owner installed. I've heard to prefer lund over smokercraft being the...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    What is the risk? Are we talking hull collapse or a slow casual sink? I'm new to this and reading only does so much, experience matters significantly. I don't mind risking myself, it's my family and kids that matter.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Right? It's a waterproof rubber basically, in theory it should work. Clean and scuff the surface for proper bonding and away I should be able to go. Hoping the hull is fine anyway, I just like looking forward. Shouldn't really be a reason why it doesn't float honestly.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Well, life jackets and extinguisher after this weekend lol. Testing after work tomorrow to see if she floats, if she floats I'll spend money and buy all the right safety equipment. Also, I'm launching with a van and a hitch extender for extra room. This is gonna be a bit of a show for anyone...
