    removing lower unit from Evinrude 1958 35Hp.25034 long shaft

    Excessive tan gunk

    Most likely unburnt oil/gas residue. Not all of the oil which is mixed with the gas gets burned and that is what you are seeing.

    Cannot prime after carb cleaning

    Did you install a rebuild kit? Did you remove the float when cleaning? Could be a stuck float or a stuck needle. Did you install the little clip on the needle and float arm to keep it from sticking?

    Finding the model fishman outboard

    You need the model number. It will be on the ID plate. If it's a 6hp, impeller will be part #434424 or Sierra 18-3001.

    Fuel line for pressure tank

    I'd replace the coils and condensers and reuse the existing points if they are not pitted. Use a point file and/or fine grit sandpaper to dress them and clean with acetone or spray carb cleaner. The new points I've seen lately are of poor quality compared to the old ones, so I've been...

    18 horsepower 1969 evinrude

    Checked spark? Spark should jump at least 1/4" in an open air spark tester. What is the compression?

    1963 Evinrude won’t start

    Agree. In your first pic, the point rub bar is where it should be for the point to be open to. 020". It doesn't look like it's open that much.

    Looks like a 1965. Model number should be RD27 or maybe RK27 on that ID plate, if you can make it out.

    Carburetor clean versus carburetor rebuild

    If I'm going to all the trouble of removing the carb, I figure might as well put a kit in rather than just clean it. That way I'm sure everything is new and will last for years. This is especially true on larger engines where removing the carb requires removal of other components. On smaller...

    1969 evinrude 25 horse 2 stroke won’t start
