    Old Evinrude question, Can anyone help?

    Could the float cause this if it was set wrong? I got everything else sorted out that I know of but it is still bogging down when in gear but runs great while in neutral. It's got good compression and spark on both cylinders.

    You might have been right because the new unit I got is different.

    Old Evinrude question, Can anyone help?

    Well I got the parts that were canceled from ebay and they are all brand new! The guy even threw in the rest of the parts to completely redo the lower unit! So happy with that guy I'd say it was a steal for $99 and free shipping! The new set doesn't have the needle bearings presse/stuck on...

    Old Evinrude question, Can anyone help?

    I tried it but it's still doing the same thing. I rebuilt the carburetor all but the Reed valves. Is it possible that is what it is? Also I rebuilt the lower unit but a little oil is comming out of the 2 holes on the middle of the front seal the holes on it her side of the shaft.

    Could it be because I didn't set the high and low speed knows right? Both cylinders have 100 and 103 and I rebuilt and cleaned the carburetor and am getting spark to both cylinders. I guess maybe I should change the spark plugs. It runs solid as all get ot when not in gear.

    I found a boat scrap yard about 100 miles from my house, got the parts put them on have fwd reverse. But for some reason when I put it in gear it ogs down. Runs fine out of the water. Any idea what it could be?

    Well the biggest bummer ever just happned, the guy I was buying the gear set from canceled my order when it was supposed to be here tomorrow. I think him and my wife miss communicated and he thought we were scamming him or something I don't know he didn't give an excuse just refunded the money...

    These are the bolts, one fell out when I took the lower unit off and I didn't take it loose. Now I have them mixed up because one I did take off.

    Do I have this right the numbers that collaborate with the link Jimbo sent me? I have a picture of the schematics at the top of the page I'm including for reference. I'm sorry I have so many questions it's my first outboard rebuild and I'm trying to do it right. You guys have been so much...

    Any idea about the extra bolt? And is there any tricks to put the lower unit back on?

    Old Evinrude question, Can anyone help?

    Is their a gasket that goes right here on the water pump? Or on the drive shaft it's self?
