84 Evinrude 35hp

[micar]

Hello All,<br /><br />I have an '84 Evinrude 35 which I have just finished rebuilding. I started it today for the first time and it sounds great. What a relief!! I have only put new rings and bearings in it, the pistons and bores were still good. Should I follow any particular run in procedure or will it be OK to take it out and run it as normal?<br />Also forgive my ignorance but what does WOT mean?<br /><br />cheers<br />Mike

Mike wot is wide open throttle. <br />Just my opinion but I would run one tank of<br />double oil mix and dont run sustained wot<br /> Run all kinds of speeds from trolling to wot.<br /> I believe they reccomend retorquing the cylinder <br />head after runnung.<br /> Good luck.

Mornin' Micar,<br /><br />I've got to presume that since you've rebuilt, you have a manual. Assuming this is true, I have to expect that the manual suggests "Break-in" procedure for NEW or Rebuilt engine.<br /><br />I expect that it will suggest doubling up on oil in premix for the first tank or two. I would also expect that it suggests not running at WOT right away, but run intermitantly at medium and low revs. <br /><br />It may then suggest to retourque the head bolts after one or too "Break-in" outings.<br /><br />Regardless of what I think it may say. stick around. I'm confident that somebody on this forum can give "By-the-book" recomendation for this motor.<br /><br />By the way. Congrads on the successful rebuild.<br /><br />What was the motivation for the rebuild? New Rings and Bearings, old pistons and bores OK? Curious.<br /><br />Good Luck<br />HAVE FUN

yep, I have manual and read the break in procedure I would of followed this procedure anyway but just wanted other peoples experience with doing it. <br /> The rebuild is a long story, but basically the motor was getting hard to start and running rough and someone offered me cash just for the hull it was on. I sold the hull and was left with the motor which I though I would put on my next boat but have since bought something slightly bigger so I'm going to sell the 35. I'm lucky that I have a mate who runs a boat shop so the parts I bought for the motor cost me fraction of what they might of...I have also found out the HUGE mark up that there is on ob parts!!!<br /><br />cheers <br />Mike
