    1972 Evinrude 65hp - what might cause this?

    I just got this motor (65273S) and took it out on the little Bayliner Mosquito that it came on. It has a 17P prop on it. With the hammer down, it ran at about 4000 rpm at 28mph, and then occasionally it would bounce up to 5000 rpm and 35mph after running it about 20 minutes. The 2 subsequent...

    Quick carb question

    I have a 1975 Evinrude 135hp and have had some running issues. After going all through the spark side of it, I turned my attention to the fuel side. I found that whoever was inside the carbs last didn't put in the little clip that connects the needle to the float in each carb. What would be...

    Here we go again. No spark on cylinder 1 on 1975 135hp Johnson

    135ETL75E I bought a Jet-Ster speed boat a month or two ago and this motor was on the back in good running shape. I took it out four times and on the fifth time, I couldn't rev it above idle. During a compression test(which was fine) in low light conditions, I noticed coil 1 was glowing white...

    Need Help with 1975 Johnson 135hp Power tilt/trim

    135ETL75E I just bought a boat with this motor, and it goes up but not down with the switch on the throttle arm. I tried a new relay and that didn't work. I tried applying 12V to the blue wire coming from the tilt motor and IT WORKED. I figured it had to be a bad switch or wire, so I bought...

    1995 60hp Evinrude E60TLEOC no spark

    I just bought a 70s Glastron that has this motor on it. Compression is 130, 130, 138. It has no spark on any of the the 3 cylinders. The seller said his mechanic says it needs a new power pack. Yeah, I know. What the seller says is usually BS. I thought I would be better off...

    1978 Mercury 80hp - spark help

    So I got this motor and it only had spark on cyls 1 and 2. So I got a new trigger and that restored spark on all 4 cyls. It would run on the muffs or bucket like that, but put it in the water under load and it died as fast as I could put it into gear. Since the stator yellow wires were...

    Stator Compatibility

    I just bought a boat that came with a (I think, has clamshell) late 80s Mariner 70HP 3 cyl. It has a cracked powerhead, so it's basically just for parts. It also came with a 1978 80HP 4cyl that has good compression. I noticed that the 2 yellow wires coming off of the stator on the 80 are...

    1990 48SPL - need help with tach readings

    I have this motor on my 13' Tunnel Hull. I have a Faria Beede Tach on there. It says setting 4 is correct for my motor. It runs up to about 5500rpm at about 48mph. And then it jumps up to about 6800-7000 rpms at that speed. I don't know if the prop starts slipping or not, but if I trim it...

    I can't get my 1983 40hp to rev past 5000rpm

    Not sure what's going on with this. The boat is a little 12' Glen L Bullet and the bare hull weighs less than 200lbs. I had a 1977 35hp Rude(120 lbs) on it and it went 30mph at 5300rpm with a 15P prop. I thought moving to this motor would give me better performance because there are 17P props...

    1983 Mercury 40hp - need help getting my LU back on

    I just got this motor and pulled the lower unit to replace the impeller. I had the motor in neutral when I dropped it. I didn't have the controls hooked up to the motor when I dropped it and the top end has since changed positions by itself. When I go to put the LU back on, I get about an...

    1990 DT115 What's this hose dangling off my lower unit?

    Right at the front of the lower unit(by the shift linkage cover) there is a hose that comes out and terminates after about 10". It's just hanging off not connected to anything. The guy i bought it from says its ventilation for the gearcase. Doesn't sound right to me. Is that right or is it a...

    Early 90s DT115 - remove lower unit

    Where does one disconnect the shifter linkage on this model? 11502-011086 Is it one where you have to lower the lower unit a little bit to access a pin? I can't find much info on it anywhere. Thanks. Stephen

    Can someone identify my year of Merc 50hp from the pic?

    It doesn't have the serial # band on the tilt rod like usual. Is there somewhere else it might be? I think it's a 1979, but would love to find the serial # because I need to order the front plate of the cowling. Thanks. Stephen

    Pair of 70s 35hp Rudes won't rev

    I have a 1976(35653S) and 1977 35hp Evinrude. They are both 120/120 comp and start up and run and idle fine on the muffs. But they won't get off their arses and rev up over around 2000. They both operate exactly the same with the commonalities of fuel line/tank and both carbs recently rebuilt...

    I give up. Can someone please tell me the timing advance on 1986 Johnson 90hp J90TLCDC?

    I've been looking all over for the last day or two and can't come up with it. Of course I found 1987, 1988, 1989 etc. But not 1986 and I don't want to assume it's the same. No indicator on the intake. Is it 28 degrees? Stephen

    Need some advice on my 1989 48 SPL E48ESLCER

    I just finished building a 12' "Bullet" from Glen-L. I have this motor on it and it's running and pumping really well. But it pops out of forward gear when I try to take off. I've adjusted the linkage and shift rod and it has gotten mildly better, but still happening at half throttle. It...

    Lower unit compatibility

    Hi, I just bought a 1994 Yamaha 40hp ELRS and I suspect it may need the lower unit replaced. I have a line on a 1988 40hp ELG locally. Does anyone know if the two lower units are interchangable? Or can someone tell me what years I should be looking for? Thanks. Stephen

    1970s OMC 35hp question

    I just got a 1977 Evinrude 35hp and the wiring is pretty bad on the big plug that connects to the remote start. I know a marina that has some cheap parts motors. My question would be: Are there any models of the 35(I assume 25hp would also work) that don't have the engine wiring harness with...

    Need help identifying starter that needs rebuilt

    This motor was painted black and has no model # plate. I'm pretty sure it's a 1975 Johnson 70hp. The starter is barely cranking and all the connections and solenoid check out. I want to clean it/replace brushes, but there's a couple different starters listed for this motor. Can someone...

    Where to tap for a tell tale

    Motor is a 1975 OMC 70hp 3 cylinder. I want to tap it for a tell tale. Is the marked(blue tape) spot the right location? Or is there a better one?
