Good evening folks. I have a question about my OMC 5.0. Motor is a Ford 302 and I just rebuilt it .30 over. My question is about the idle rpm and timing. I cant get below 1000 rpms on idle. The only way is if I retard the timing and adjust the idle screws low. It will idle at about 800rpms if I...
Good evening all of you,
I have been a member of this forum for a while, I read a lot on here but haven posted much since last year when I screwed up this boat I bought.
I have a 1993 190 Candia with an OMC cobra outdrive and 302 I/O motor. I had to completely rebuild the motor this year due to...
Ok all I am at a defeated point. I didnt winterize properly and I am paying the price with a cracked block. I picked up a used block and I am going to rebuild this thing. I was wondering if anyone has done this themselves and what kind of engine rebuild kit should I get? I have looked for hours...
SO lessons are being learned, and the wife is ready to freak out on the dang boat.
I have posted part of the issue in another thread, but I needed to start this one to make it relevant to the forum topic selection.
I have a 1993 fourwinns with an OMC outdrive and a ford 302 paperweight. I had...
Good Evening everyone,
I bought a 1993 fourwinns 190 Candia. I have some wiring issues under the instrument cluster that need help really bad. I wish that was the worst of it though. So I took it out today for only the second time. I couldnt get it to crank due to my kid turning the key and...
Good afternoon,
I picked up a 1993 four winns 190 candia that looks absolutely amazing and ran just as good as she looked when we took her for the test run. When I bought it and took it home I was so excited to finally have something that I am not having to get running just to go out. The...
I have read a ton of threads on this and I just cant seem to find exactly what my problem is. I have a 1984 evinrude with the power tilt trim. With the switch I can run the motor up, but when switching down all I hear is the relay clicking. I replace both relays and still have the same problem...
Good afternoon guys! I have this Evinrude motor that bought last year and rigged myself on my deck boat. The issue I have that I just cant figure out is throttle. I took the boat out 2 weeks ago and it ran like a champ. I took out last week with the wife to fish and it cranks right up. The...
I havent been on in a while, but have been reading for a bit. My 140 sometimes when I am running it barely moves at wot. RPMs are not up either. I Noticed that if I hold the key pushed in while it does this it will get up to speed like normal. Also after a minute of holding key pushed in I and...
Hi everyone. I am at the point that I am parting out this motor. The only problem that I can tell after 2 Marine Mechanics is a scuffed cyl. Everything on the motor seems sound and withing specs. Where is a good place to part out this motor at? I have tried craigslist and I get spammers, or...
Re: Striper Fishing At Night - With A 400w High Pressure Sodium Light
Awesome night for sure. I use a generator with a 100w peak, and 6 work lights around the boat. I bring in tons of bait fish, and can fish all sides. I fish mostly for crappie, but have been into the cats and strippers heavy...
I have an issue with the recoil spring carrier housing. I was pulling on my rope and the recoil spring broke. So I ordered a new spring and installed it (After some very bad words, and temper-tantrums) . I installed the carrier, and all of the other mounting extras, and pulled on it. It pulled...
Hi All,
I have been reading forums today, and I was looking at how to increase power to my 140 evinrude. I stumbled across an article on another site through Google about someone having a heavy boat and changed his carbs from the 200 he has to a larger hp model. Said all looked and worked fine...
I have a 1982, or 84 Evinrude 140. Title says 1984, but the model number reveals it as 1982. The motor is on a 19' 1994 Godfrey Marine Hurricane deck boat. The boat has been stripped of all seats and is not a center console with 2 fishing seats in the front. This boat had a Johnson 140 on it...
Hi everyone!
I bought a boat and installed a new motor and controls on it. I took it out this weekend and out it in the water for the first time. I noticed that the bow was sitting on the rubber roller in the front and had flattened it a bit. I unloaded it into the water and had my way with...
