My 1985 rude cluncks like I hit a log at about 1/2 throtle and more. It cluncks about every 30 seconds or so.What could this be??Prop slipping?? Any help would be nice..
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
It sounds like you have a clutch dog in the gear case going out. This dog slides on a splined surface of the prop shaft, and engages forward, or reverse gear. After time it will wear on the leading surface, rounding it off, and will no longer hold engagement. Don't run it that way! You may be lucky, and only have to replace the dog. Otherwise! you will need to change the dog, and forward gear.
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
Is this a hard one to fix? special tools? I have the service manual for this motor. Are parts still available for this motor? I was wrong on the year it is a 82...
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
I started looking at my manual it does not have a parts breakdown for the 35 hp in there.. Anybody have a breakdown on a model #E35ELCND It is a 1982 year.
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
You have the year correct, What service manual do you have? One thing that can be difficult is installing the spring, and two detent balls in the clutch dog. There is a special tool made by OMC for this. You will also need the snap-ring pliers shown in the manual.
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
I have the OMC service manual 2 thru v-6 models. part #392790.........I have snap ring pliers of various sizes.. Can I make a tool for the clutch dog?? thanks for the reply..
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
I replaced the clutch dog and it is still doing the same thing!!!I also replaced the water pump while I was in there and now it seems not pumping as much water thru my waterjet and at idle dosen't seem to hardly spit any water out..any and all help needed!!
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
Are you using remote cables for the drive lever? If you are check to see that they are functionning properly and that the lever is fully engaged at all times. My 30 hp Johnny did that when the cable for the lever adjustment wasn't set properly for the drive lever.
Re: 85 35hp rude cluncks at 1/2 to full throttle why??
Yes this does have a remote steering. I checked the adjustment and it seems to be OK. Is the gear itself you need to look at in the lower unit or the indention where the dog on the clutchdog hooks into the gear lug?? I do have good spark..squeezing the fuel ball does not help the problem. But it is hard to time it when it acts up , because I have remote controls. I guess I might have to tear the lower unit back down..Any more ideas?? thanks
