    Tools for ignition testing

    I found info on this a while back but can't find it again. I built a remote starter for testing but it doesn't crank the engine over as fast as the key will. I used 14 ga wire and aligator clips and a push button starter. Is this how it should be built or should I get heavier wire? I also got...

    Fuel line fittings melting

    I got a new fuel line for my Evinrude and after hooking it up about a week later the fittings started to melt. The first one I thought I just broke somehow and replaced it. Then when the second one did the same I looked at the fittings and it was soft and melted the plastic fittings. This is a...

    Evinrude replacement cables ends?

    I have a 1977 Evinrude 55 hp that I got at a garage sale for 100 bucks from a preacher (so I don't think he would steer me wrong). The only problem he said he had with the motor is that it would flood when taken out of gear. I think that it may just need carb work. But my main problem is with...
