Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol ill make sure i gap the sparks plugs as for my kill switch i really dont use it and when i do it works like a charm. sinc ei have a remote control box i just put the lever all the way down untill it shuts off.

ok ill try to look at it 2moro cause i had baseball 2day and hopely mt o rings came in

ill ask for the coils and points etc at napa 2moro too

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

If I am understanding you correctly, when you turn the throttle all the way down, it stalls, so why have a kill switch, right?

If it were properly adjusted at the carb and the cables, you would want to have it so that if you throttle all the way down, it continues to idle. That way you don't have to worry about it stalling ever. You should be able to throttle way down to an idle for shifting without a worry of it stalling when you are docking or manuevering around other boats.

Then, once you get it tied up you hit the kill switch to shut off the engine. The other nice thing about it is if ever the throttle linkage gets stuck or breaks, you can shut off the engine quickly, guarenteed!

No more hitting boats this way! I am just kidding with you now, I know you learned your lesson on that already.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

lol ya for me i put my throttle at about half way to where its just idling around. ya like when i put my thing full throttle theres like about an inch till theres the big metal sticking out of the throttle control and it makes sure it stops u and im not talking about when ur in the neutral and the rpm limiter blocker theres another one and im like an inch from that. i should check and see if my butteryflys r all the way open at wide open mmm lol

either way if this is how its supposed to be or my grandfathers great thinking. im fine with it and i put my finger on the throttle to advance till it hits the lever and it isnt that bad not much speed different but i could always use more

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

don't know if there was a kill switch on that motor. I think he has it right just idle it down until it dies.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

no it idles at half way throttle for me on the lever half way i mean.

ya when i push it down its like a kill switch except much quicker. my kill switch is located right below the high speed neede a big black button there. lol i like holding it down then letting it go and giving it a bang its cool

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Letting it "bang" like that can break your reed valves and if the pieces make it to a cylinder will ruin your motor...........or so I hear.
I personally like the kill switch because if you use it the motor is incredibly easy to restart because the cylinders already have some fuel in them. Looking for chaffed wires on the kill circuit is to prevent a short, therefore preventing spark--- not to make sure the kill switch works. Just thought I'd mention that---if nobody tells you......
Good luck,

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

today i went for another try at taking off the flywheel. and my o rings came in today. well i couldnt get the flywheel off...

i used seahorses of using auto belts to hold the flywheel and it worked. wrapped the belt around the flywheel once put wrench on one side then wrapped other side and put a whole bunch of hammers in to make it really tight. it held it good if u do it right. slips just a little cause of my old belt with no grip. one of my screws bend off and broke inside the flywheel... so now i have no flywheel off and and a screw stuck inside. i got an idea though. if i eventually get my flywheel off i know there a little screw sticking on the other end of it. and twist it out. or i can leave the flywheel on and press something hard on the screw to kinda twist it out of the whole. omg im so mam at my self. any ideas

ill order the coils and stuff 2moro but is it possible that i can buy a flywheel do they still have them?

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

Ouch!

I think you're going to be forced to drill out the broken screw and extract it before you'll be able to get the flywheel off. You really need all three bolts with the puller to have any hope of getting it off. It's a speed bump but it's not the end of the world. Make sure you use a center punch to start the drill bit exactly centered in the broken bolt. Start with a very small bit to get the pilot hole started. It's easy with an aluminum part and a steel bolt to have the bit wander off into the aluminum. A tiny pilot hole makes it easier. Left handed drill bits would be the best choice for this operation. If they happen to grab in the screw they can twist it right out. It's easy to get discouraged in a situation like this. Just be patient and take it slow. Don't break the drill bit or screw extractor off in the bolt or you will have problems . Once you get the hole drilled you'll need a screw extractor set (assuming the left handed drill bit didn't work).

Once you've gotten the broken bolt out you'll want to get three bolts that are exactly the same length. It's important that the puller sits exactly square with the flywheel when you tighten it down. Good luck!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok ill take all the screws out and buy 1/4' inch screws if ur sure? i measured my screw that went in and it was a 3/16 and when u say 1/4" x 20 what does this mean? buy 20 bolts? well ill probably buy both 1/4" and 3/16" bolts that r pretty long cause they need to be. i think ill apply pressure to ur some how and take it and that way it will fall out down the thing. i would buy the drill bit thing at a hardware store but what happened was my drill doesnt work anymore the battery something is wrong with it and yes i tried to charge it been sitting for a couple years.

you must have had a birthday, in your first post you said you were 13. i still don't believe you

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

you did take the center nut off? I sometimes find myself with the puller on and realize I got ahead of myself and did not take the center nut off.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

A "1/4-20" bolt is a 1/4 inch diameter thread bolt with 20 threads per inch. However, if you will go to the hardware store and ask for a "number 8 hardened bolt that has 1/4-20 threads", they will get you what you need. You'll need 3 of them. That is why you've got a broken bolt, because you didn't use the right ones. To get the old one out, if any of the bolt is sticking above the flywheel, I'd grind it off as flat as I could get it and drill a tiny pilot hole perfectly at center, as said above, after center punching it. THen make it larger step-by- step until you can get a 3/16 bit in it. You would be wise to go somewhere to get a left-handed bit as stated. THose you can't get just anywhere. A machinist's supply shop would probably be the best place. Once you get it 3/16, you might use a 1/4 inch tap to get the old screw out. I wouldn't use a screw extractor myself because they can be disastrous if they break off. But it might work in this application. Like I said, though, they are accidents waiting to happen, and you being inexperienced with them, are almost sure to break them off. THey are hardened, and at that point you'd have to take the whole powerhead to a machinist to get it removed. Forget a new flywheel until you get the old one off. I've broken many thread extractors myself, and have sworn them off.
Just my opinion,
JBJ​

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ya ill probably stop by today and ill get about a few more idk might come in a box?and the centering nut yes i took it off and it still wouldnt matter cause i still think it still hasnt made a movement. i think my nut thats stuck in is loose enoug for me just to try to twist it in or out cause i can feel it through the inspection hole.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

So if you reach in through the inspection hole and feel the end of the bolt move a little that's good news. It means if you can get just a little bite on it somehow then it should turn right out. But if you can just feel the end of the bolt sticking through then that doesn't really help you that much. Because you still have to get it out before you can get the flywheel off and you have to get the flywheel off before you can get to the end of the bolt.

The grade 8 bolts that you want will be sold individually. The ones that would come in a box are likely going to be grade 2. The same ones that came with the puller set. The cheap grade 2 bolts might as well be made of peanut butter! Here's an explanation of the different bolt grades. This is where people get into trouble. And why it's always advised to use grade 8 bolts. The fact is grade 5 bolts would probably be fine. But why take the chance? The difference is probably like 49cents for grade 5 and $1.19 for grade 8. You want to find grade 8 bolts 1/4 inch x 20 threads per inch x 2 1/2 inches long. Good luck!

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

ok i almost got killed today trying to cross the highway lol. on my bike

i got grade 5 bolts from napa and grade 8 from the hardware store. ordered coils points and condensers. about 70$$$ for all of them 2 of each. and the bolts i got were about 3 inches long so im good there. ill try to get the flywheel off 2moro and get that bolt out too. any thing left to do?

suggestions of anythign left to do would be helpful

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

oh yeah i read jb jennings thread about changing changing the parts under the flywheel. and i noticed that his harmonic puller was upside down. and i said wait mine it and read that it should be on the flat side top. i had the curvy side on my on the top so its like lol
