    76 Evinrude 25 HP Smoke

    I remember having a hard time lining that up so its worth checking again. I have some things to look at. Would either of these things cause excessive smoke?

    76 Evinrude 25 HP Smoke

    I was going to take off both the carb and lower unit for inspection. Is the copper tube the part that fits into the top of the pump housing?

    76 Evinrude 25 HP Smoke

    I have had a 76 Evinrude that I have been working on for the past couple of years and when I ran it a couple of days ago, I seemed to have more smoke than I would like at low speeds. This is what I have done so far. Rebuilt Carb New points and condensers New Coils New Fuel pump New fuel lines...

    18 HP no spark

    I have a 1973 18HP model 18304A that I took apart for parts and now I am thinking about putting it back together and see if I can get it running. I did a compression test and have 100 on both cylinders, but I can not get any spark on either cylinder. I took the fly wheel off and re-gapped the...

    1975 Johnson 25 HP

    Should I take a chance on a motor that has been sitting in a barn for 5 years. Guy doesnt know much about but is letting it go for $100. I have a 73 18 HP and a 75 25 HP. i think even if the motor is shot still worth the parts. Any thoughts

    Lower unit repairs

    I have 2 lower units that are in pretty decent shape. One has a busted cavitation plate that I have the broken piece for (I think a competent welder could easily fix) and the other had a little water in with the gear oil. One came off of a 1975 25 HP 25502B and the other came off of a 1973...

    I bought an 18HP for parts a while back and now I am thinking about getting it in good working condition and trying to sell it. Is there a market for old 2 strokes. Just curious if it is worth the effort and if I canmake any cash off of it. I am thinking I could get it in selling condition...

    can't get points gap right

    I am tuning up a 75 25HP (25502B) and I just replaced the points and condensers, but I can't seem to get the points adjusted to .020. They will not open that far with the adjustment screw. I had to push them open with my finger to get like a .019 gap and that was as far open as I could get...

    Engine seems to be running rich

    OK. . I'm going to make a short story long in hopes that somebody can make some sense of what I have been doing. Earlier this year I bought a 14 foot boat and trailer with an Evinrude 25 HP (ended up being a 1975 25502B). I took it out and it started up just fine. It ran good, but WOT didn't...

    Fuel problems

    I bought a boat with a 1975 25 HP short shaft. I took it out last year for a test run and the motor seemed pretty strong. It really struggled to idle and the low speed mixture knob didnt seem to do anything. I also noticed that it seemed ti be running rich. The spark plugs were pretty dark...
