    parts motor for 1983 75HP Evinrude

    I have a 1983 75 HP Evinrude which had the powerhead rebuilt 4 years ago. Lately I have been having some trouble with my power trim/tilt unit. I just saw a 1989 Johnson 70HP for sale with a functional power trim/tilt. According to the owner the motor ran great last year and the trim/tilt works...

    water in cylinder??

    1983 75HP Evinrude. I have an ignition problem with #1 cylinder (no spark, changed plugs, checked coils, power pack etc) but I also suspect water in #2. I swear I see drops on the plug but other people say I am crazy. #2 fires and the compression is good. <br /><br />120<br />115<br />130<br...

    power pack test

    1983 75HP Evinrude. Not firing on #1 cylinder. Ran the power pack test according to the OMC manual. The test results for each ignition coil was less then 230v which would indicate a bad power pack, correct? When I ran the test there would be no reading on the voltmeter, then it would read...

    Spark tester

    Where do you get a spark tester? I noticed on a previous post that someone mentioned buying a spark tester. I searched autozone, advance auto parts, sears, no one has one. Any ideas? I am trying to track down an ignition problem in a 1983 75HP Evinrude.

    I have a 1983 75HP Evinrude Model # E75TRLCTE. The #1 Cylinder is not firing. I checked the spark plug wire, good. Checked the ignition coil, good. My next step is to check the powerpack. I am following the OMC manual for the tests. My question is, if it is the powerpack does anyone know the...

    Decarb

    I want to run a decarb on my 1983 75HP Evinrude using Seafoam and have read through the FAQ. Currently I have a quick connect fuel hose that runs from the portable tank to the fuel/water seperator and then a hose to the engine. Can I run the seafoam mixture through the fuel/water sperator or do...

    fouling plugs

    I think I am having a problem with fouling plugs on my 1983 75HP Evinrude. Went out one day and the boat bogged and wouldn't go over 5 knots. Changed the plugs, they looked oily, and changed the water/fuel seperator. Boat ran great. Next day went to go fishing and again, it was bogging down and...

    engine bogging

    I have a 83 75 HP Evinrude. I went out fishing two weeks ago and it ran good all day. Today however it was bogging down everytime I tried to accelerate. Full trottle and it would just bog along at 6 knots. If I put it in idle and manually revved the engine by the trottle linkage it seemed to...

    stalling

    I have a 1983 75HP Evinrude Model # E75TRLCTE. Last week I dewinterized it by putting new plugs, Champion L77JC4 gapped 40, and changing lower unit oil. I then took it out fishing and to run the motor. It ran great out on the bay and I burned thru about 6 gallons of the gas that I had treated...

    Steering attachment

    I have a 1983 75 HP Evinrude on 17' Whaler CC. The starboard screws on the center console are stripped and I was planning on doing some epoxy repair to the holes. My question is, how difficult is it to diconnect the steering so that I can move the console a few inches in either direction?
