Hi all, I have a '65 16.5ft Larson with a '76 35hp Evinrude. This is the first boat I've owned that has forward steering and controls. Anyhoo, its not really a "problem yet" but the shift cable is quite a bear to use. It shifts but its just hard to move forward or reverse. Is there any way to...
Help.............................I have a '65 9.5 Johnson. I've had the lower unit off and on like 5 times after replacing the impeller cause it will not pump water. Very simple process, or so it seems any ideas?

Hi all, its been awhile since I was here but here I go. My motor was running a little sluggish last summer so I thought I would change the plugs. Instead of taking one with me I just wrote the #'s down out of the manual. Well they didnt have those (Nappa) so he gave me what the book called for...

I have this 10 hp Johnson that I bought 2 years ago that I havent used much I think because the hi n low speep adjustments just dont seem to stay in place, seems if i tighten them I cant adjust them, yet if I keep em loose they tend to move. Do I need to replace everything? Thats the question...
Hey everyone, I bought this motor off of craigslist last summer without seeing it run, got it home stuck it in the barrel. I was able to get it started but within i'd say 10 seconds it freezes up. Oh great another hot deal from CL. Well it sat in the garage till the other day when i decided to...
Hi everyone,unfortunatley i've been here before with this 'stupid' motor. As I stated in another persons thread it wasnt running very well so today I took the flywheel off and found one of the condensers came loose from its 'mount' and seemed to cause a considerable of wear on the flywheel among...
Hello, I have this 9.5 that ive only used a few times but have never noticed the carb leaking like it is today. If I can get the pic to load it will show the starboard side where the fuel line (rubber) connects to the carb and to the right of that is a round tube like piece that is part of the...
Hi everyone I need some help figuring out what might be wrong with this thing. First off any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Last week I took it out and it wasnt running very well at say 1/4 throttle. Made an adjustment on the rich/lean screw about a 1/4 turn rich and it seem to cure...
Hi everyone, I have a '76 Evinrude 35 hp. I had it at the shop a few months ago for some work and they said they checked the lower unit, found it to be a bit 'milky' so they changed it and told me to check it in about 5 hours running time. Well about 5 hrs. later I check it and its milky again...

Hi all, I have a Mac 7.5 hp I got as a 'throw in' on a boat I bought last summer. Well it's been sitting in the corner of the garage since. Im just wondering if it is even worth tinkering with. It has good spark, what seems like great compression, everything else such as fuel lines plug wires...
