    gasket sealers for johnson OB?.. Piston "rock"?

    that is expensive, but then again youd have essentially a new motor.

    why not just get it bored instead of spending more $ on an unknown powerhead?

    Idle and timing adjustment 1992 Evinrude 88 hp

    LOL the topic was IDLE timing. all i said was 28 degrees is NOT idle timing. i understand these motors very well. good luck.

    1979 Evinrude 55 hp will not run full speed without choke.

    as i mentioned it has an INTERMEDIATE orifice. Someone more knowledgeable about this type can chime in, but again i'd think the intermediate combines/kicks in around 1500-1800rpm or higher with the idle, then the high speed takes over completely

    gasket sealers for johnson OB?.. Piston "rock"?

    if you are going to the trouble, i usually never just give it a hone but yea its very cheap if you can get another couple hundred hours out of it and dont mind it being down on power. a new 4 stroke wont last nearly as long as a rebuilt 2 stroke IMO, but they are sweet motors at 5x the cost.

    Idle and timing adjustment 1992 Evinrude 88 hp

    you are describing WOT timing or did i read this incorrectly?? idle timing is around 4 ATDC so you are way too high or the flywheel key sheared. if it did, you will need a new key and lap the tapers or it will slip again.

    1979 Evinrude 55 hp will not run full speed without choke.

    i think carbs has an intermediate and idle orifice that works around the speed you are describing. be sure to remove the screw to both and be sure they arent swapped in the wrong hole. should be #37 in front (idle) and #44 on top stbd side (intermediate).

    gasket sealers for johnson OB?.. Piston "rock"?

    costs me , including shipping to Jay's Block shop, both bored, surfaced and washed about $275 for a 2 cyl. bearings sound like they are just fine. can find NOS piston and ring kits on ebay for $50 a pop. thats $375 plus the powerhead gasket kit so $500. Might want 2 new coils and a NOS pack so...

    how do you determine how long the skeg should be when the old one is broken off?

    go find one and measure it or ask someone on the Yamaha facebook page.

    Df70. Setting timing using timing marks

    I dont think a digital EFI system has any sort of timing adjustment as it goes off the TPS and other sensors/gear counter coil. as long as the flywheel is aligned on its key, and the camshaft timing is correct i think it should be perfect but not sure what the manual says exactly? the marks are...

    DT150 Questions

    the DT series of V6 Suzukis were FANTASTIC motors, despite alot of "my grandfathers friends cousin had one. always in the shop" kinda stuff, their service record was stellar. so good, after the 1st year of production they doubled the warranty in 1987. Shortly after it was lengthened to 3 years...

    Evinrude intruder water in cyl info?

    Racer i just meant it wasnt great/ideal to use a head like that as i always thought it created extra places for carbon to accumulate. used ones are a dime a dozen on ebay. Always wondered how much you can re-surface an O-ringed head before you get into sealing issues? don't have the manual...

    Parts availability OMC 2 strokes..

    you are correct about hard parts mostly yes. Mounts upper and lower are NLA, and any old stock on ebay is usually pricey. good thing you can pin them. flywheels are extremely rare to need replacing, especially the ones with cast-in magnets. cranks and rods are everywhere used, and really most...
