1994 - 4 horsepower evinrude

[35mercuryman]

i just bought a 1994 4 horsepower evinrude deluxe, and when i started it, it didnt pee. i shut it off, looked around and i couldnt even find a pee hole. i started it again and with under a minute of running, the cylinders got super hot. what should i do? is this engine some how air cooled????

That is a great little engine. The pee hole is under the engine right near the exhaust housing. It doesn't pee as much as larger engines; some of the water goes directly into exhaust housing where it should come out as a spray. If you run it deep enough in a barrel or something, water should come from the pee hole.
Ream out the pee hole with a drill bit (BY HAND); iif no water, you probably need a new water pump impeller.

alright, while i was tinkering with it i found the pee hole. i ddi run it pretty shallow (water only up to the cavitation plate) and came to the same conclusion that maybe it wasn't in deep enough to start sucking water. thanks for the help.

oh yeah, what screws should i remove to get into the lower unit? i only undid 1 that seemed like it was holding it together and the unit wouldnt budge. thanks

35 M Man ,i would think there should be more than just 1 bolt holding the L/U toghether ..judging from the brp web site I would guess at more like 3 ....check brp,s web site to see if u found them all.......

Get a Manual! Not a LU in the WORLD hold on by 1 screw

Check/replace the pump impeller but while the lower unit is off check that you can get a flow of water through the engine from a hose connected to the bottom of the water tube. If you cannot it may be due to blocked water passages or it could just be that corrosion around the grommet at the top of the water tube is squeezing it closed over the top of the tube.

The lower unit is held by 2 screws, I think, maybe 3.

If you have a long shaft model remove the leg extension with the gearcase, clean up the drive shaft and then remove the extension from the gearcase. If you try to remove the gearcase leaving the extension on the leg you will probably damage the water pump!

Do not enlarge the pee hole if you do it may affect the water distribution within the engine. It is only a telltale.

You will find the engine parts diagrams on the brp website very useful. http://epc.brp.com/default.aspx?brands=ej&lang=E
