    No Tach Signal - 1996 Evinrude 150 V6

    Thanks for reply, Kevin. The original (‘96) tach was replaced due to faulty MWS-Check System, but the tach registered. Not long ago, that (original) tach began to read inconsistently, so I replaced it with a new Faria MWS tach. The new Faria MWS warning lights functioned properly, but did NOT...

    No Tach Signal - 1996 Evinrude 150 V6

    Have the following. New tach. Grey signal wire from motor harness to tach has continuity. Good ground. Charging system is functioning (13.4V). But no tach signal. If charging system is functioning, does that mean stator power coil is good? Does it follow that problem must be with...

    Spark or No Spark?

    Quick follow-up. Disconnecting connector (with b/y wire) at pack proved unproductive. Disconnected b/y wire at helm key switch and regained full (7/16") spark on all cylinders. Bullet connector at switch seemed loose. Repaired connection. Prior to re-testing for spark, I also discovered...

    99 Johnson 175 J175PLEES

    I have an ‘96 Evinrude 150 Looper. Reasonably certain the fuel bracket and VST are similar, or the same, as the 175 described. I also have a slight leak at the gasket between the top of the fuel bracket and the vapor separator. Before diving into the repair, do you know if the vapor separator...

    Spark or No Spark?

    I have a 1996 Evinrude 150 hp 60 degree (Looper) engine. Simple question: OMC manual states that output test Ignition spark should arc 7/16”.on spark tester. If spark will only jump 3/8” on spark tester on port bank cylinders and no spark on starboard bank cylinders, in accordance with the...

    Question on Evinrude 150 Looper Crankcase Casting

    Wow! I used NEW gaskets from Evinrude Carb kits supplied by Marine Engine……NOT CROWLEY MARINE. Are you saying that the Evinrude gasket materials may also be inferior and should NOT be used, or just not Crowley?? If so, what would you suggest be used to replace them?? Confused.

    Question on Evinrude 150 Looper Crankcase Casting

    New and torqued to spec. Pretty difficult to assemble incorrectly.

    Question on Evinrude 150 Looper Crankcase Casting

    Yep, same instruction sheet I used. I was just wondering what the difference is between PN 344046 (black) and PN 343613 (brown). I overlayed the two seals and they appeared to be identical. Btw, I highly doubt I installed the seals incorrectly. What is possible is that there may be some...

    Question on Evinrude 150 Looper Crankcase Casting

    Presume when you say o-ring, you’re referring to the (string-type) seal between the carb body and the throttle body. Correct? My carbs bodies are PN 436797. Evinrude carb kit instructions clearly spec the use of seal PN 344046 (Black). Per instructions, I assembled carbs using that seal...

    Question on Evinrude 150 Looper Crankcase Casting

    Both components are brand new on all 6 carbs. No way to check that I know of, unless I disassemble. I tried spraying carb cleaner around seams of carbs while cranking. No difference.

    Question on Evinrude 150 Looper Crankcase Casting

    Thanks. Will give it a shot. Do you know which ignition component could be damaged from cranking engine without grounding plug wires? I read that could happen after pulling plugs to check compression. Could have been a big error! Guessing it was power pack.
