    Hesitation

    After 3 days of wind, rain and snow I finally got the cover off the boat. I checked the plug wires and the coil wires twice and when I put on the new coils last fall I did them one at a time so as to not get anything mixed up. They look just fine so I'm not sure what to make of your assessment...

    Hesitation

    Finally got those numbers for the compression test for you today. #1-94 psi, #3-96 psi, #2-96 psi and #4- 96 psi. Does have a very good spark and they do jump 7/16 in. One thing that I did notice when I removed the new plugs the right bank plugs were clean an the left bank plugs were sooty...

    Hesitation

    I had kind of the same issue at the end of last year, so during the off season I replace with new coils and new plug wires. was hoping that would do the trick but no.

    Hesitation

    I have a 1989 Evinrude V-4 that idles smoothly but when I get close to 2500 to 3000 rpm's it starts spurting or slight hesitation. It doesn't die but kind of hesitates. I'm using premium fuel with additives. Any thoughts?

    No start

    Got some great advice several months ago on idle issues and shifting issues. My boat is a 1989 Evinrude 120 V4 it's been out on the water several times this summer with no problems what so ever. Yesterday, got in the water no problems starting, was out in the middle of the lake and was trolling...

    Kicking out of gear

    I just put in a brand-new lower unit; new water pump and I played close attention to the correct height of the rod. It was also kicking out of gear with the old unit.

    Kicking out of gear

    I have a 1989 120hp V4 Evinrude, when trolling I can't seem to get the speed below 3mph when I do get it below, it kicks out of gear. Any thoughts?

    120hp V4 new lower unit

    Thanks for all the help, found the issue there's a rubber gromet in the lower cowling the had separated and turned the linkage and bound it against the power head. that rubber gromet is coming out it's probably been in there since 89. SEI told me about that and that had given them issues before...

    120hp V4 new lower unit

    Very good question, the pin went in, and I tighten it down. How could one tell it's not very easy to see.

    120hp V4 new lower unit

    Called SEI and they told me to start with disconnecting the shift cable and see if I could shift it manually. I never had an issue before, but I think it's just a matter of elimination. Then we will go from there.
