Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

well i got to repack my needles with more junk cause i couldnt really adjust them cause they like moved around a lot and i had to move it when running.


i went the the same canal and didnt crash in a boat but my motor stalled when i tired ot put it reverse lol reverse isnt really that good.


sorry for mistakes cause right after i put the boat up i went like a alnight magic game then fun spot and a ice skating ring

You might try just tightening up the packing nuts. If that doesn't work, you will have to remove the high and low speed needles, remove both backing nuts, and dig out all the old packing. Then, you can either buy a carb rebuild kit and rebuild your whole carburator like I'm doing to my motor right now, or you can just buy the packing separately from http://www.laingsoutboards.com/newpage4.htm They are $0.50 each. You want to buy 4 because each needle needs 2.


High and low speed needle packing # 7106 $.50 ea


When you say reverse really isn't that good, do you mean that your motor stalls out whenever you try to bring it down to an idle to change gears? In that case, you should probably rebuild the carburator because it sounds like your slow speed jet is clogged up. Another possible cause of that is low compression. I can't remember if you ever got both your cylinders measured or not.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

probably the carb and i rebuild it like 2-3 months ago and my cylinder on the top one was 70 psi but i didnt have enoug room in bottom one to check. ill do another decarb see if that helps

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

oh and i ahve left ovr from the rebuild kit theres like quit a few packings left

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

my guess is they took the filter out as it was clogged and just tied the piece you have to something so it does not get lost. this thread is dragging on though.

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i love my outboard!!!


well today i adjusted the motor on the rope and packed the needles with 1 more in each socket. this thing idled like a champ. man i will idle in foward right. go to neutral then reverse and still it will idle. it nvr stalled on me as if i was trolling. i was doing this on the rope by the way. man god it sounded to beastly. then i floored it from idle and that thing jumped in hurry.


rrr...rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

i noticed that im still getting items in my sediment bowl but not sure where they r coming from probably the left ovr rust in the tank. i cant wait till this thing is on my john boat. my dad said he will register it next month. for my christmas present. i wanna get my license but i dont know how to. i live in florida any know hows?




oh ya onky probably i think is the cooling. at idle the water falls on the rubber cuhsioning on the lower unit. not sure if this is normal or not. but at anything above it pumps water relativly good. and the water spitting out the back is warm but barely my tap is hotter. so i guess it is cooling and in the back there is good amount water pumping out the back at idle too. does it really matter what happens where the water comes out the sides and that water was cold like the lake. do i need to replace my water pump junk?


and what about fuel mileage i noticed this little sucker does use quite bit of gas

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

oh i might add one other thing i tried to check and make sure i had spark both cylinders nice and good lol. well i pulled the top wire omg i felt heck on me. that thing shocked me like crap. and yes the top one was sparking lol since. the rpms were reduced. didnt wanna check the bottom one since the experience i just had

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

only problem i have is when i pull the quick connect to run the enigne out of fuel the line is always spewing fuel out like crazy down till the line is empy and i make sure to let the pressure before taking it off by the way. what could be my problem? i replaced both of the o rings

My fuel line has started doing the same thing recently. I haven't done any investigating into the problem yet, but I assume there is a spring in the quick connection (that is connected to the fuel line) and it either needs to be cleaned, replaced, or somehow streached back out or something. When I pull my connection off, it doesn't seal shut completely and fuel sprays out until the pressure is released. It is annoying.

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem, I'd like to hear it. You may want to start a new thread and ask about it.

"Oh ya onky proably i think is the cooling" ??? You mean "only problem"? Dude you gotta slow down!!! Just a little. please ! Anyway, I'm not sure I follow. You mean you have water coming out someplace other than the exhaust/water outlet at the rear? Like out the side of the leg somewhere? Or from under the powerhead somewhere? You might have a leaking powerhead base gasket or something like that.

On the spark, Hehe, yeah that's something you hopefully only do once in your life! Like jumping off a loading dock with an eight pound sledge hammer on your shoulder .

Yeah, if the actual fitting on the end of the hoses is leaking when you pull it off then that is a definite problem. You'll probably need to disassemble the connector and find out what the problem is. My understanding is that you can remove the hoses and with a very thin punch reach it through the hose nipple and punch out the brass retainer rings from the back. But I've never actually had to do it myself. If the gas is spraying out of the fitting on the engine when you remove the hose then that is perfectly normal and to be expected. Although it's not a good idea to remove the hose with the engine running in any case. Myself if I absolutely need to run the motor out of gas then I prefer to crack the gas cap to release the pressure and wait until it dies. And wait until all the pressure is released before I remove the hose. Even then you will always get a little fuel leaking out. I'm just ready to wipe it off with a rag.

That's a pretty good idea. I never thought of that. LOL

Re: evinrude 10hp qd-23

i probably should start a new thread this evryone liek hates this one now lol

ya my cooling i meant to say. well there part where it squirts out on both sides right near the bottom almost it looks like the water isnt oump efficently at idle speed. idk how should it pump at idle? but i dont believe its ovr heating since the fact that i went a trolling thing for liek 10 minutes and no performance issues.

the gas thing i believe its the spring and how i do it is. open cap to release pressure then diconnect and by this time its just puring out not squirting out of the line till the whole thing is empty and i really dont wanna do this cause the polluting and the fishies r gonna move away from my dock =( so i might just buy a new connector from dave again real nice guy
