    1986 Evinrude 70HP 2 stroke starting issue

    Interesting - here are my thoughts on it: The starter engages when the solenoid is energized (has 12 volts on the "small" terminals). (the solenoid is a relay). When the key switch is turned to "START", voltage passes thru the key switch, thru the neutral switch, and the wiring, and connectors...

    1977 Evinrude 75 Hp Rebuild

    I have sanded the head already on plate glass but it needs some more to flatten the area around the combustion chambers. I am going to call the Company that did the honing about chamfering the ports and doing a flex hone treatment. Just to clarify things, the block was not rebored but was...

    Evinrude 60 HP (3 Cylinder) Won't Suck Fuel

    I don't know the age of the motor but would say the fuel pump is the problem. When the motor is running, try squeezing the bulb and see if that helps. Wih older 3 cylinders, I have had problems with the check valves in the hose bulb (even on a new one) and also had to replace the fuel pump. On...

    1977 Evinrude 75 Hp Rebuild

    I am rebuilding this motor. It was bought new and has never been rebuilt. Thanks to GGMurray's post "Powerhead Rebuild or Not" and the great help from people on this board for all the info. I have it completely disassembled. The block was taken to a machine shop and only required honing the...

    1986 Evinrude 70HP 2 stroke starting issue

    Maybe raise the fast idle lever, then disconnect the throttle cable at the motor. Lower the fast idle lever and try starting it. If it starts ok - problem is in the box. My memory is good but it is short! - I think on some control boxes there was an interlock switch that prevented starting the...
