Hey all! Feel dumb. Really dumb. Need a new kill switch on the end of the tiller handle so my young boys can safely drive the 14' aluminum. Looking under the hood, cant see for the life of me where the two wires go. The old ones have been snipped off. About 8" is exposed under the cowl. I don't...
Hey All!. Just got a 1991 Evinrude 4 HP Deluxe (E4RDHEIA) that was thought to be seized. Soaked the pistons for a week or so with Kroil and she came loose. Took the carb apart and cleaned it. Gonna get a carb kit now that it looks like its worth saving and sinking some money into it. Same with...
Hey all! Been having issues with my 85 Rude 115. I've cleaned the 4 carbs. New plugs. Primer bulb goes soft and if I pump it up, engine seems to come back to life. I have a new water separator filter. There was a in line fuel filter under the cover. This has been the same way for the past 4 or 5...
Hey all! hope things are well on the water. Good here. A few questions on the VRO2 on my 85 Evinrude 120 (CE120TLCO) and the VRO2 it has on it. Id like to order a fuel side repair kit or whatever I need. I'd like to make sure the pump is up to snuff. Maybe all I need is a new diaphram. I'm...

After having this new to me boat with this motor on it for a few months now, I'm finding that maybe I'm not starting it properly after it sits for a few days or so. Seems hard to get going but when it fires up, it runs great and starts up real quick when trying to restart it after as much as an...
Hey all! Got a question on the prop on my newly aquired 85 Doral 164 bowrider with an 85 Evinrude 120 VRO. Got it running and out on the lake for the first time the other day. Wondering if I have the proper prop for the motor. It has a 14 1/4X21+ prop on it now. Seems sluggish out of the hole...
Hey all! Good news! My 85 Evinrude 120 VRO is alive! It's running on 50:1 fuel as well as the VRO2 system to make sure I don't do damage. I put some vise grips on the the oil supply line to the VRO2 for about 2 min and no alarm. Where is the alarm horn? Anything else I can do to test it...
Hey all! I think I'm going to jump on a 85 Doral 164 bowrider with a 120 Evinrude VRO. A marine mechanic buddy says the VRO was not very good from the beginning and says I need to eliminate it first thing. Owner says it doesn't charge and speedo either acts up or doesn't work. Mechanic says the...
Hey All! Got a line on a one owner (my aunt's sister) 1985 Doral 164 bowrider. Hasn't been ran in 3 yrs. Has a 120 Evinrude V4 with oil injection. Needs stator or stator repair and fuel lines. Has a fish finder. Wondering if any of you could give me your opinion on this boat before I take the...
