    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...

    Lower unit repairs

    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...
