Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Torque wrenches can be had pretty cheap. If you have a harbor freight nearby they sell a click style torque wrench for about $20. Both in 1/2" and 3/8". The general consensus is they work ok but may not last a long time. But for an occasional hobbyist they should be ok. There are three main styles. The dial, the beam and the click style. If you plug in "beam torque wrench", "dial torque wrench" and click torque wrench" in ebay, you can see many examples of each. So look around in your grandfathers stuff. He may well have one.

You can rebuild the tank with gas in it but I really wouldn't advise it. Mainly because of the danger factor. But also because it's hard to scrape the cork gasket from around the opening without getting little cork chunks down in there. When it's empty you can lay a rag down in there and catch the debris. If it's got gas in it you can't. Take note of the drain plugs for the tank in this service bulletin from Evinrude; drain plugs . Much easier to drain the tank into another can that way I'm thinking. Then use it in your lawn mower.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok well i have a 2 gallon jug and 1 gallon jug. im goone fill the one gallon full and put 12 ounces of 16 ounces of it in the 1 gallon jug. rest in a spray bottle. then do the instrustions untill the sefoam is all gone then. fill the leftovr gas form the 2 galon jug and use it to see any improvement. probably by then ill have the other o ring

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

think ill borrow a friends wrench

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

oh ya my motor started on about 5-6 pulls which was that bad acually. i called napa and they got a foot pounds wrench for 120$$ but idk ill look at some of the examples now and look around. and lol my grandfather garage is a mess

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

120 bucks, ouch! I paid only a little bit more than that for my Snap-On torque wrench! Granted that's been many years ago but still. Hard to justify for a weekend tinkerer. Well with any luck your search will turn up something. Here's an idea! You could volunteer to clean up your grandfathers garage! Crazy idea I know !

5 - 6 pulls, that's not so bad.

Sounds like you're off and running!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Intersting thread. I read it with interest. Coolguy147, you're going to be fine. Sure, there are some people here who are a bit harsh, but you stuck to your guns and stayed with them and took their ****. There are a lot of immature people in this world who obviously were not brought up right. Unfortunately, some are old enough to be your grandparents. It shudders me to think how they brought their children up. I venture to guess their children were the kind who picked on the less fortuante, while they went to school. I did notice a couple good guys who stated that you were working on a project, rather than doing drugs. AMEN to that!! A lot of people here in this country would be fortunate to have kids like Coolguy147.

When I was 13, I was Coolguy147. So Coolguy147, if you want friendly help, I guess you can call on me (and a few others).

It's been 31 years since I've seen my 13th year and I might admit, that I've learn a huge amount, since. Not only about outboards, but home repair, auto repair, landscaping, precision sheetmetal, computer repair, AutoCAD Drafting, you name it. Just about any issue I had to tackle, crossed my path and I tackled it with great confidence and succeeded. I have helped a lot of old farts who were less fortunate than I. If you see a young man such as this who is trying, HELP HIM!! These are the ones who will be our future. The little ****s who are out getting into trouble are the ones you should want to kick in the fanny. So, if my spelling isn't the best here, who cares? What do you want for free?

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol wow im impressed on u guys. my dad is an old fart who basically knows that evrybody likes to bother him in which he always complains about lol. oh ya by the way my birthday was last thursday so im 14 now...

i would change evrything under the flywheel but its stuck on the there quite much. so i think ill wait on the wires and points and condensors and coils if they really needed to. other then that it isnt miss firing i ran my motor on the ropes at wide open for about 30 minutes - 1hour then took it out for about 4-5 hours on lake at wide open or idling and was excellent. only problems were gear shifting. which was fixed recently. acceration which happens sometimes or not which i can easilly replace the air o ring and see if that fixes it. and i would like to get a lower idle speed which could be helped by the o ring and a decarb for better compression=D

ya im so happy about all of this. i would love to be a mechanic one day that makes about 100k a year is ok with me =D working with evinrude or possibly mercury.

and ill look into a new torque wrench at auto zone and do they come with different sockets? some ive seen only been with one. lol i got sick at school today from a stomach ache and now i feel better =D

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya my sister was bugging me about cleaning the garage yesterday i tried looking for one but no luck ill try again sometime this weekend.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok i started my motor today and it started on 2 pulls cold =D. well anyways i put the whole can of seafoam in about 2-3 gallons of gas. i wouldve put only 3/4 of it in but i my spray bottle was still wet and rest in 1/4 in the spray bottle but it was wet and my gas cans were still full of gas for the gallon jug full of premix 50:1 gas for my little tiller. it started to smoke white stuff when i started it and then i let it sti for about 5-10 mintues and smoking wasnt that that much anymore. but i ran it at wide open for about 2-3 minites possibly less and i putred some water on the head and it steamed but it took about 1-2 seconds for it to steam off. then shut her down left down 1-2 minutes and didnt steam anymore when i put water on it. then started it up wide open then idled for about 2-3 miuntes and still was steaming but same thign 1 or 2 sec to steam off. remember putting my hand on it the day before and it took 3 seconds for it to start burning. i have a strong pee out of it and u guys know i changed the impeller like last month. then i shut it down took about 2 pulls to start? maybe cause to warm? would seafoam make it start like this? and heat up a little more? and the cover for the shift rod on the exhaist houseing im missing one screw. so i put a replacement one in but exhaust comes out of it and sounds quite annoying would do anything? to my motor is this fine? i still have one of the originial scrws on it by the way

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

It sounds to me like it's running fine. I wouldn't loose any sleep over the way it's acting as long as there is any seafoam in there at all. Chances are it will go back to normal once it's all gone.

It sounds like your cooling system is doing fine. I assume you're running it at wide open still tied to the dock? If that's the case then it sounds like things are pretty much normal. I don't think I'd recommend doing that too much though. Half throttle or so will tell you what you need to know. At full throttle your rpms will be lower than they should be. And lugging puts a lot of stress on it.

You should be able to find a matching screw at any hardware store. You just need a round head countersunk screw of the proper size. Is the gasket for the cover still intact? Having an exhaust leak there probably won't hurt anything. Just noisy. It may eventually erode the metal away though.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i onyl ran it at wide open for about 5 minutes today and the whole day rest was idling or mid cruies and yes it was tied to the ropes and im not tied to the dock by the way. i have poles in a square the ground like 50ft on the other side of the world manly for hirrcane protection and purposes. ya i remember my atv being a little hard to start sometime with that seafoam stuff in it. yet my atv is air cooled so it will fiz a lot if u put water on it. probably will take the thing out for a spin this weekend with mom and maybe friend. hopely my o ring will come in.

im going to have to redo my o ring on the fuel side cause its stuck on sometime in there and is making my time take the connector out a pain in the *** i remember something getting stuck in there so i could push the connector spring down and it broke and got stuck behind the ring. ill redo it and if i break the o ring most likely not but if i do ill get another on

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol i didnt know it was a exhaust leak at first untill i forgot about that screw there lol. ya little bubbles evryonce in a while i remember coming out when i had both screws but the thing is still good. lol that leak is annoying. wished it sounded like a big chevy 350 big block...

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok i just bought soem deep creep since i used up all my seafoam in the gas tank. ill spray into spark plug holes and carbs.ill see how it goes

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok i just did a decarb today. i used deep creep and seafoam. first i warmed up the motor with 2-3 gallons of mixed gas 24:1 and seafoam. after sprayed deep creep spray bottle on the cylinders both of them and i put quite amount in there evrywhere i could. i noticed that the top cylinder plug looked ok and wasnt fouled and was just normal oil i guess. the bottom was more filled with o and little bit darker around the inside. i think my engine is missfiring on the bottom piston. the motor whiel i was warming up sounded like it was miss firing. well anyways i waited idk rougly 5-15 mintues cause i had to remove the air screen to spray stuff in the carbs. not sure how long i acually waited. but i started the motor and noticed quite amount of smoke. then bunches of more when i was spraying deep creep. put the motor in gear and advanced throttle little to keep alive and sprayed like there was no 2moro. i stop evyronce in a while to let motor come back to life. i sprayed until deep creep was all gone. turned off motor and put screen back on. started motor and ran at either full throttle or 3/4. for about 5-6 minuites most likely less. and put stuff away and left cause i had a concert to do. i think 2moro im going to buy some more deep creep and do same procedure and wait long enough soem more. and ill redo my steps if correct. is this right way to do a decarb?

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Just my opinion,
That's enough Decarbing. Are you running that motor on a boat at 3/4 to wide open throttle? That's not at all good for it to put it on a stationary object and run it high speed without a test prop. Puts a lot of stress on the motor. You can find a cheap torque wrench at O'Reilly's or harbor freight. You can also find a 10 dollar harmonic balancer puller to pull your flywheel there. Just be sure you go to the hardware store and get three grade 8 or grade 5 bolts (1/4-20 threads) to use with the puller. And use the balancer puller with the flat side up. 40-45 lbs. of torque on the flywheel nut. .020 gap on the points, .030 on the plugs. J4C or J6C on the spark plugs. What are you running that 10hp on? A barge?
Curious,
JBJ​

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol shut up i knwo ur talking about my crash . im running it on a 20ft pontoon 8 feet wide i think. and when i put the deep creep in i ran it above idle a little my finger was adjusting the butteryfly if it starts to die. u sure that was enough seafoam cause i mean it was smoking till it was all gone. u guys think i will have better compression now cause before my top piston was 70 pounds and bottom idk cause not enough room to check it. omg that flywheel is annoying though

 

[coolguy147]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok how do u set points at .20 and .30 and all that stuff cause i knwo squat about how to and what to do when anybodys saids that

 

[jbjennings]

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

It's easier to explain with pictures. I'll try to take a couple tomorrow if I can. You'll need a feeler gauge set (only 5 or 6 bucks) to set the points. I'll also show you a pic of my new spark tester I got at O'reilly's auto parts so you can get yourself one and see if you've got good spark. It cost about 6 bucks, too. I was just asking about your barge because it is hard on your motor running it wide open on that thing. There's a chance you just need to clean your points and reset them to get better spark.
Later,
JBJ

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya i think i have a feeler guage. its the thin metal paper like things that have numbers on em such as .30.35 etc. i got that in the garage. but knowing how to do this stuff on the plugs and points would be very appreciated. pics help. so does good explainantion
