    Lower Unit Gear Oil -opinions

    Curious as to what you guys think ? Is there some slight water intrusion in this ? I know usually a milkshake color, this is like an army green. No increase in drained volume from fill volume. I changed this when I got the motor beginning of summer, it was black. Refilled with fresh, ran the...

    2005 Johnson 115 hp 2 stroke dies easily at low idle

    Well , I'll give it a shot..... Only know my old 2 stroke Evinrude, but, mine is controlled by the cable, no adjustment on the carb, done by loosening the clamp, and adjusting the thumb wheel , then reclamping, search youtube for your motor, see if it's on there. Only correct way, boat in water...

    Water level stain on hull

    I took "DJR's" advice and got me some of the "FSR" ......super pleased with how it worked almost like magic , some areas took a second application, but was amazed. Next year, end of season, maybe I'll do a before and after pictures.

    Fuel pickup from the tank

    Primer bulb maybe bad ? It has a one way check valve right ? Maybe that's not functioning properly ? There also can't be any air leaks inside the tank where the pick up tube meets the fitting, I solved my issue with a baby clamp inside there.

    Need Advice - Rough Idle then Overheat Alarm - 1987 Evinrude 50 HP

    That's a lot of nice new parts......but you did give me a clue, you said you may have missed some cleaning parts on the carbs ? Did you remove and clean out the main jets, located behind the drain screw plug at the bottom of the fuel bowls ? Remove carefully with a proper fitting screwdriver...

    1973 50hp evinrude

    I say, "Curse that useless switch" It's like a software update, basically useless, but can cause a hidden major problem. Only a moron is gonna try to start the motor with the throttle wide open, ....oops, never mind, they have to idiot proof stuff huh,,,,,

    Thanks, looking for some more help first troubleshooting the gray sender wire from control box, how do I test that with my multimeter to know if I have a signal there ? And the tach with just 2 wires seems like not enough ? Yellow to gray sender, black to ground ? Or black to power ?

    Help with a Vintage Tach

    Looking for help with what I believe are original gauges on my 1973 Glastron V156 with a 1973 Evinrude Lark 50hp motor. I like the look of the combo, and the speedometer works, would like to keep this matching Tach also, if I can get it to work. It has a yellow and black wire only coming from...

    Thanks again for all the help with my first boat. Now completed the 4th test run / launch, and I am keeping the boat :) Why wouldn't I you ask ? 1-3 launches were rough, due to my never backing a trailer in my life, resulted in wife co-pilot (code name Gilligan) and I almost in divorce court...

    1973 johnson 50. Starts then stalls when not in choke, any help be appreciated!

    I just re-read way above about not being able to find the fuel line hoses/sizes..... Snip off a little quarter inch piece from each size line, take down to your local Napa auto, have them match up........be sure and ask for fuel line, not vacuum line.

    1973 johnson 50. Starts then stalls when not in choke, any help be appreciated!

    I'm a noob, but I'll throw this in ....You said a new tank, but also put some new lines on it maybe ? Especially if it's that silver fuel line, the inside linings disintegrate over time, Fine particles could be plugging the fuel screen at the intake of the fuel pump, clean / check that too ? Not...

    Must keep small amount of choke to stay running.

    racerone is now 2 for 2 !! If I were to ever meet you, you would probably get a big ole' smooch :) .....that clamp I placed on the inside of the tank solved the problem. She runs now continuously. Also ended up just calling the phone line , and they were able to find the parts I couldn't...

    Must keep small amount of choke to stay running.

    racerone........dude's got the secret sauce !!! So the only air leak area I can think of would be right at the top of the tank pick up tube, where it attaches to the connector for external fuel line ?? .....When I inspected today, that pick up tube just slide right off by itself, so I put a...
