Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

wow man for a 1959 that pretty cool looks like a modern engine lol idk that like the only one i ve really seen... ya i was searching coils and such and found them and saw there was a picture where they were cracked. im sure mine have been replaced before. ya those wires of mine r going to get replaced tell u that right now

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok well i tried to take the flywheel off but the darn thing wouldnt come off man it got really annoying. so how do u get it off and i removed the nut. is the thing just stuck on there? i opened the little metal piece and saw the coils which were a dark gray color and were changed previously. r the thing under ok do u think or will i still have to check them.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

you need a special tool for the removal of the flywheel but you can try a rubber mallet and strike it up once on the left and once on the right until it comes off good luck

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Yeah, as Kandil says you need to get a harmonic balancer puller. You'll need 1/4" x 20 bolts of the appropriate length. You may be able to rent one cheap at the auto parts store. Take a look at the the duckworks article on magnetos. It covers just about everything you'll need.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol nice that explains a lot but man its hard to remember. one step at a time the guy above u posted to hammer on each side but the article mentioned that it can mess up the magnet in the engine. so what to do? and lol dont think i have the flywheel remover

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Hi Coolkid, keep up the good work, you are learning a lot and teaching me a lot. You are asking a lot of questions that I don't know the answers to, so I am learning a lot too.

Since you had the motor running recently, and can see that the coils were replaced once, I would not mess with anything under the flywheel at this point. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This is always good advice. I have broken more things trying to do preventative un-need repairs over the years.

Focus on getting the shift and steering things worked out first. Then, if you have any issues keeping it running, then consider pulling the flywheel.

When you are done, you will know the motor inside and out, and will be able to drive it confidently anywhere on the lake because you will know when something isn't right and know exactly what to do to fix it in the future.

Keep us posted on the progress!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

well i do have one problem and its that my motor is hard to get started its really weird. must take like 50 pulls to get it started ( maybe lol 30 not sure )

any ways it takes more then a couple of pull for sure. im thinking that this is a sparking problem which is all the things under the flywheel i thinking about replacing alll those things just for a precaution. only problem i have is to redo evrything sync evyrthing again other wise reinstalling the items

and i have a question will a rubber mallet or hammer mess up my magnet?

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i defiantly need to change my spark plug wires

and i noticed that the paint on my motor espcially on the power head right around the area of the spark plug is all gone. i think rest i chipped off. is this a sign of an over heat at a point of time

thanks man lol i probably will know everything about my motor

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok well i tried to pull the flywheel but omg i just couldnt get ti off so i said screw it. i can get it running. it stays running. but if i get to the lowest idle i can it dies after a while. but i think thats because it wouldnt warm up right. but we will see when i get those o rings. and by the way my motor is kinda hard to start sometimes. im thinking my needles arnt adjusted right.or the rich oil mix? but ya as long as its sparking i guess ill leave it alone and not mess with it

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ill try a decarb see if that helps

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Before you start messing with the carbs do a compression test to see if it's even gonna change anything. If you don't have a compression tester you can probably rent a fairly good one.

Good Luck! Fuzzy

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

your hard starting could be the orings in the connector allowing to much air in. It will also explain the poor idle. You can bypass the connector all together by taking the connector off all the way and attaching the lines to the motor directly. Be careful to not switch the fuel and air lines.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i already did a compression check on the top piston and it was 70 pounds but i heard a good motor is at least 60 pounds these older motors. but i didnt have enough room to check the bottom piston. ya the guy said they will probably come in monday the o rings. i replace those test it out and see what i can get it too

 

[freddyray21]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

70 lbs is a bit low for a 10hp, but if it is fairly equal with the other than it will probably run okay.

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i would test it again after a decarb but i returned it cause the kit didnt come with 10mm socket. for my atv. so ill might someday stop by advance auto and get one with a 10mm especially. but ya its pretty good either way hope evrything goes out right.


omg have u seen final destination2. thats a really scary movie. there were so many gas explosions. so im afraid of some gas leak lol. in my engine

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok well u were right it came with only one o rings freaken god dang. well ill order another one anyways. in the mean time ill install the new one in the fuel line side. then install the other when i get it in but im sure i only need the fuel one changed. but ill change em both out either way

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

my engine was really good today. to take that o ring out was a hassle and putting it in was a pain in the butt. the fuel doesnt leak anymore. im so happy. my motor staring on less then 15 pulls idk but it wasnt that much=D a new o ring should be comeing in sometime this week. im going to replace my o ring for the air line cause theres a slight lag when i acclerate. my gear shifting was ok in foward and i full throttled it and it didnt even jump out. and reverse was also the same. and ill replace my steering sometime also

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

oh ya i think my t stat is good and the motor isnt ovr heating. my motor weirdly surprisingly pumps water better lol but barely. and i pured some motor on the head and it didnt steam off. and i touched it for about 3 seconds and it was fine but right on the 3rd second it really hurt lol. do u guys think i might have to do something else on my motor?

only thing left to do is replace o ring in air line

fix steering.

and replace spark plug wires( not a immediate task though)

anything else u guys think i could do? and u sure my ignitiion parts r fine? the stator coil etc? yes the coils were replaced before

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Well, sorry to hear about the o ring. I was afraid of that . Good, idea to replace the fuel side first. If it leaks a little on the air line side, no biggie. Good to hear your shifting is ok.

Does it take that many pulls every time? Or just after it's been sitting for a few days? Even if you haven't taken the motor off and laid it down or anything? That kinda sucks! Mine takes three pulls after I've laid it in the back of the pick-up on it's back and driven to the water Two if I ran it out of gas the previous time. Never more than one pull after that. Does the primer button on the tank seem to work ok? Choke working correctly?

Yeah, spark plug wires when the opportunity presents itself. Although I would suggest that you find yourself a torque wrench so you can torque the flywheel nut properly if you haven't already. 45 lbs/ft. It's quite critical, too loose and you risk shearing the flywheel key or worse (15lb metal frisbee bouncing around in your boat). Too tight and you can damage the taper in the flywheel. When the time comes to do the wires I would suggest you replace the points and condensers at the same time. They're cheap enough. The only other thing I might suggest is to rebuild the fuel tank. It's not hard. And who knows how old the rubber parts in there are. Plus the cork float on the fuel gauges like to sink.

Great job!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i dotn have a tourge wrench... really i probably have one except the fact that i dont know where one might be. im using all my grandfathers previuos tools and know squat really where anything is. how much could a wrench really cost? the o rng should come in sometime this week. ya i guess i take the motor motor off again do this stuff. just the reason y i didnt wanna do anything under the flywheel cause i couldnt get it off....

whats weird is that my gas now smells bad and its only been about 2 weeks and i put stabilizer in there but its like 2-3 years old i think possible more. this might be y it was hard starting. probably some left ovr reisidue and little gas left in the tank. can i replace the gas tank kit with the gas in it?
