    Pressure tank to single line, 1957 18hp Evinrude

    I'm converting my 1957 Evinrude 18hp from the 2 line pressure tank to the single line as I have a myriad of the single line tanks kicking around that are in great shape, and the pressure tank that came with it has rusty innards. I used the instructions found for the 5.5hp, using a vacuum cap...

    1957 Evinrude 18hp 15020) carb kit

    I think its a 15020 (making it a 1957 18hp) I looked up the carb kit but it doesn't list a carb kit with a float. I haven't taken the carb apart yet, but I'm pretty sure it might have the old cork floats. Where can I get the newer style floats or am I SOL? Also, I can't find a carb diagram for...

    76 OMC 120hp 2.5 alternator belt

    120hp 2.5L OMC 1976, destroys about 2 belts a season. The belt looks too wide to me, and is sitting just above the pulley lips. Took the alt off today and wire brushed some rust out of the pulley, just incase it was causing it to eat the belts. Does anyone know what the correct dimensions of...

    76 OMC 120 sterndrive part broke

    Hey guys. I dont even know what the heck this part is called. I can only describe it as a U-shaped piece of steel that is about 4-5 inches long that is held into the assembly the stern drive bolts to and it looks like it holds some sort of piston in. I attached a picture to show you where it is...

    70s OMC 2.5L starts good cold, not so good warm

    Hey guys. Got a 2.5L OMC in a 70's glassmaster boat. Starts alright cold. Although, today I had to pump it while cranking to get it to fire. It has new plugs, wires, coil, distributor cap, rotor button, points, basically all the tune up crap. However, I ran it across the water today for about...

    72 Evinrude 25 fuel pump leak

    Hey. The fuel pump is leaking out the small notch cut out of one of the plastic pieces that holds it together. Fuel spirts out of there and makes a hell of a mess in the motor case. What would cause this and how do I fix it? The engine runs great, other than this fuel leak I have yet been able...

    Which spark plugs are the right ones?

    I have two outboards. 72 25hp and 73 9.5hp. The champion spark plug site says both take J8C. Somewhere else, not sure if its my dealer or not said J6C. I then found a post on here listing all the different horsepower, years, ignition systems, etc, that said both of them take a J4C plug. Anyone...

    73 Johnson 9.5 ignition system question

    Alot of the older outboards i've worked on have a felt pad that is lubricated / soaked with oil or some sort of lubricating liquid that keeps the cam lubricated so the arms on the points wont wear down. My 73 9.5 that had dealer installed coils / points / condensers two years ago is lacking...

    1948 Starcraft 14 foot transom replacement

    Hey guys. I was told its a 1948, even though starcraft tells me they didn't make a boat that matched mine in 1948. However, it is old. The transom is due for replacement, but I am having a hard time tracking down a suitable replacement board. The board thats in it is one piece, rather wide...

    70's 9.5 fuel questions

    With the new E10 blended gasoline, what is the recommended fuel to use? Regular, Plus, Super? I flushed all the old fuel out of the motor today, it started great. 2nd pull, but after I sat for an hour or so and went to start it, I had a hell of a time. Had to choke and pull, unchoke and pull...

    Needle/Seat, and this new ethanol fuel

    What I thought was a faulty fuel pump (and was not) appears to be a sticky needle valve/seat. The needle came with my carb rebuild kit that was installed 2 years ago (and has worked flawlessly up until this point) and had a rubber tip. Most of the newer needle/seats I seen have the rubber tipped...

    1972 Evinrude 25hp fuel problem

    Long story short. I've rebuild the carbs and replaced all fuel lines in the engine compartment back to the fuel tank. I've had the cylinder covers that the small fuel hose connects to and the fuel pump connects to off, and replaced the gaskets. I've also replaced the fuel pump and the gasket...

    1972 Evinrude 25hp steering stop

    Hi. I have a 72 Evinrude 25 model 25252R. Its currently mounted on my boat and hooked up to all the controls + steering. It never turned as far one way as the other so I decided to investigate why. When I removed the steering and all the control cables, I can turn it manually all the way...

    OMC to Mercruiser

    Hi. I have a 1976 Glassmaster 17ft fiberglass boat with a 2.5L OMC 120hp engine, OMC outdrive. I believe the model year on engine/outdrive is around 71-72, not entirely sure. My question is, can the mercruiser outdrive be fitted to this? What would require changing/modifying/etc? Thanks in...

    73 Johnson 9.5HP 9R73B link n' sync

    Already posted about my 25hp link n' sync issue but as I mentioned in that post I haven't gotten a manual for this motor yet because of other issues. Does anyone know the proper link and sync procedure for this particular outboard? I'd like to ensure it is adjusted properly before I put it up...
