Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Sounds like you're good to go! Just make sure you submerge the leg up to about the level of the lower mounting brackets in the test tank/barrel/garbage can whatever you use. You want the actual water pump itself under water when you go to start it. Hook up the tank, pump the bulb, make sure it's not leaking fuel anywhere, make sure it's in neutral and give it a go! High and low speed needles about one turn out? Good luck!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya when i was filling up the gear oil i made sure it was spitting out at the top. and i have a barrel just no way to put it in there but i live on the lake guys. so i just hook it up to my atv carry it out to the boat and try it out and ya ill try the one turn out then give her a go. oh ya i hope evyrthing goes good

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol i fonally got it running and its running like a beast. man that thing is hauling ***. well it was kinda hard to start cause i was useing bad gas i wanted to get rid of all my old gas and in with the new. so evrything was fine i set the prop in the rehubed bushing right way . and my question is that when my motor is at like like idle the water like touches the motor like the rubber bushing to help stop the vibration some. and after it above idle the water pumped liek there was no 2moro. and it pumped good at full throttle good too .

Congratulations, coolguy. It sounds like you did it.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol well thats cool lol my steering broke the wire was so old right when i turned it snapped =O. ok today i thinking im going to buy 8 gallons of gas 6 in the pressure line and 2 extra gallons in a extra jerry can.

Glad to hear you got it going! Congtrats!

It sounds like the water is plenty high up on the leg from what you're describing. Are you saying that it doesn't pump water at a low idle? It should still pump at the lowest speed it can idle at. If it doesn't you may need to save up your pennies and pop for a complete water pump kit from OMC. It sucks I know because it's going to be over $50.00. If I misunderstood and it just took a bit to get going then disregard.

Don't know about the Jerry can. Are you planning to carry it with you and refill on the water? Risky. Of course you could always pull up and refill it on a dock somewhere I guess. Seems to me that 6 gallons for a 10 horse should be plenty though. Unless you plan to head out to the Everglades for a week. Good luck! and have fun!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

nah man i dont think ill buy the kit i thinks its fine like most of the time ill be running there thing at full throttle or 3/4 throttle and i remember the water is pissing like it hasnt done before lol =D so its only at really low idle just for when i change gears when i bring the horses on it lol

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Just to be sure, you might try feeling your block/cylinder head after it's been running on idle for a couple of minutes. Like they said, it should spit water on idle. If not, you have some kind of minor problem. If you can't hold your finger on the cylinder head/block for 3 seconds after you've run it for a while at any speed, then it's not cooling properly.
Something to think about,
JBJ

BTW, like they said, 6 gallons with a 10 hp is a LOT of gas to burn! I'm impressed if you like to go farther..
glad to hear you got 'er fixed,
JBJ

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya i got about 4 miles of lake to go through and to go back u know so just to make sure but omg i got in a accident today. i hit a 200k boat... i was going to through the canal and noticed there was a guy there so i waved but it was to late. and i scratched his boat in 2 spots and this boat had 2 300hp optimax engines and man i was about to have a heart attack. it was my fault though cause i shoudve waited for them to pass lol... but ya it spits water pretty good i was on the lake for about 4 hours and i think i ahve about 3/4 full of gas so im good but i have a problem. my motor keeps jumping out of gear. like one time i was at full throttle it comes out and bang back in so weird dont think anything is damaged and like at slow speed if i try to advance it jumps out a lot and when i first change it into gear sometimes i wont even go in and om i dont know but my other problem is that i stopped by my friends house right. so i let the pressure out of the tank after i go then i try to advanced the throttle and just would go and i have to ease it in there or something but ya idont know what to do


by the way the guy said it will be like 1k probably ovr but ya man i need to get my license...

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

sounds like a bad clutch dog in the lower unit. If the guy whose boat you scratched makes a case of it your homeowners or your folks homeowners insurance may cover it.

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol dont got insurance. but ya u sure a bad clutch dog im going to see if i can adjust the shift rod in the exhaust housing dont think i got it right lol and what about my problem on the lagging and stalling when advanceing the throttle?

It's none of my business but I have to ask, what are you planning on doing about the guys scratched boat?
just curious
BTW, as said, you probably need a "new" gearset/clutch dog, possibly getting away with reversing the clutch but doubtful. You never know until you pull it apart. Also, it sounds like your shift linkages are worn out or need adjusting and possibly the adjustment on the shifter itself.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

well after i hit him we pull off the main water way and i gave him all my numbers and even my address a big mistake thought it was for records. but ya he didnt get the cops thank goodness. and ya he came to my house and talked and we wrote a paper agreeing what such and blah blah hes going to call me later for the estimate to fix it.


do u think i will be able to fix this clutch dog problem? do they have parts for this? and what about my acceleration problem?

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

nd om i dont know but my other problem is that i stopped by my friends house right. so i let the pressure out of the tank after i go then i try to advanced the throttle and just would go and i have to ease it in there or something but ya idont know what to do

Coolguy, I hope everything works out fairly for you with the accident thing, sorry to pry like that--I shouldn't have.

As for the above quote-- is that the accleration thing? I don't understand what the problem is. Could you reexplain? I'm thinking that the pressure hadn't yet built up in the tank to supply enough fuel to your carb when you twisted the throttle since you loosened the cap. Just a guess.

As for the clutch:
1. they don't make new ones anymore.
2. I think that if your linkages are all worn out, it'll just go out again possibly even with a new part.
3. good chance if your clutch is worn, so are the gear ears.
4. You'll have to pull it apart to find out, however, before you do that I'd check the shifter adjustment, especially if someone has tampered with it.
5. When you take it apart, if you can, post a close-up pic of your clutch dog and gear ears where the clutch and gear make contact. I've heard using the "macro" feature on the digital camera makes close-up photos much better and we need a close-up to tell you if they're shot or not. What I'm saying is, there only has to be a little wear or just a chip or two out of the clutch or gear ears to cause them to slip.

If only the clutch dog is bad and not the forward gear ears, you may buy yourself some time if you reverse the clutch dog so that the reverse side of the clutch dog (which usually isn't as badly chipped or worn) is used for the forward gear.
Pull it apart and see what you have after you check your shifter adjustment. Those lower units are much bigger pains than the powerheads are to me. A used lower unit might wind up being your best best bet, but if it is you should probably be able to find one for 50 to 75 dollars on ebay. Remeber, you never know until you've got it apart.
Good luck,
JBJ

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya the guy was a jerk cause if u can afford a 200k boat then he can afford a repairs fraction of that price.



but anyways ya i guess i should let it idle a little before i throttle it then.



ok ill pull the lower unit and unscrew the 6 screws to check the gears and clutch dog sometime and im going to try to adjust it so it better when swtich gears idk what i said but lol i just woke up for school

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Uh...how is the guy a jerk for insisting that you pay for the damage you caused? I don't get it. His finances have nothing to do with the fact that you scratched his boat when you ran into it.

Sometimes a guy just has to own up to his mistakes and make them right. That's how it all works.

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

sheesh dont make me feel even worse then i already am man but still i mean 200k vs 1k i think he could afford to fix it of course but man omg idk what to do god dang i wish i jumped out and was eaten by a gator instantly and just died right there with a heart attack man

 

[CATransplant]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

It's not that big a deal, but you have to own up to your mistakes. When I was 16, I dented the bumper on my parents' car. It wasn't so much my fault, but my inexperience as a driver cause me to turn into a driveway incorrectly, and I hit a post.

So, my father made me pay for the bumper to be straightened and rechromed. It wasn't that big a deal, although it seemed to be at the time. I think, back in 1962, it cost $35, and I had a job at the time.

The point was that I understood, by paying to fix the damage, that I was responsible for my actions. It was a valuable lesson.

You hit the guy's boat and caused some damage. I don't know why you hit the boat, but you did. So, now you have to pay for the damage. You will, and it'll hurt some. But, you probably will drive your boat more carefully from now on. Lesson learned.

Life's a bunch of lessons to be learned. Don't stress out over it. It won't change your life. It's just a scratched boat and some money.

Sorry to hear about that. I know you'll do the right thing. I hope everything works out ok.

About your acceleration problem. I can't remember now, does your motor have a two line pressure tank? If I remember right it's a 59? 59/60 is right on the break/ line could be either way. If it does have a pressure tank then letting the pressure out will cause a loss of fuel/power. But pressure should build up pretty quickly again once you start it. Especially if the tank is nearly full. You made sure to get the cap back on tight? If it's not building up pressure well then you may have a leak somewhere. Connector oring, pressure relief valve inside the tank, something like that. Does pumping the primer button when you are losing power help?

If you have a single line standard tank then it sounds like your vent was not open when you were running. You should not have had pressure built up in the tank. And/or you may have a weak fuel pump.

On the shifting problem are you absolutely sure you got the shift rod all the way seated in the connector? I remember you had a really hard time getting it apart. You say sometimes when you put it in gear it doesn't go in gear at all. That sounds like the shift linkage is grossly out of adjustment. A connector not seated properly could explain this. The rod has to be all the way in so that the bolt passes through the groove in the end of the rod. Good luck!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i think i didnt get the cap on tight enough but surprisingly i have extra o rings conneted on the fuel lines so ill get those in and adjust my gear shift rod thing


omg i ahve to pay lots of money now cause i didnt do somehting right before god idiot me
