    Reading 2-stroke rpm with multimeter?

    Did some reading on the web and found an article on how to read rpm's with a "car"-multimeter with rpm function. I was thinking of trying this on my '75 evinrude 9.9. As I understood the article, you hook up one cable to stopswitch cable (leads to breakerpoint) and the other to ground. Of course...

    Recommended 50hp models/years

    Time to get a bigger engine this spring. I'm thinking of getting a 50/55hp rude or johnson, but don't know what models or manufacturing years to look for, or to stay away from. Boat is rated for 50hp max. Have two '68 6hp, one '76 9.9hp, and one '82 2hp. Done all work myself on these, so I'm...

    Evinrude 6hp - drive shaft pin?

    I've removed the lower unit from this early 70's engine due to cooling issues. When looking at the parts catalog at the brp site, I noticed part 303261 "drive shaft pin". What's it's purpose? My engine was missing this part as I took it apart (I think), but I did notice the hole for the pin in...

    flywheel nut 1971 evinrude 6hp

    I've posted about this motor before - last fall, during a storm, boat and motor sunk. It survived and I've had it started since. Since it was only running on one cylinder I decided to check ignition and change coils. Problem is, I tried to remove flywheel without a puller, with no success...

    leak in lower unit

    Winterized this newly bought 1975 evinrude 9.9hp today. When draining lowerunit oil I got milky brown oil, so there's a leak somewhere for sure. Last week I noticed the drainhole was plugged not letting any water out. My question is, could this trapped water slowly been leaking through the shift...

    9.9/15 steering adapter

    Trying to find a steering adapter kit (#395245) so I can hook up my steering on a 9.9 evinrude. Where do I get one of these? Been looking at ebay, but so far - nada. Maybe other solutions are available? /Fredrik

    Cooling of an evinrude 9.9

    Just bought a used 1975 evinrude 9.9. Took it for a few testrides this weekend before winterizing. Ran great but I'm a little worried about the waterflow.. This is the older model with the mixed exhaust/water outlet. Also have a evinrude 6hp, and when compared there's more visible water passing...

    gasline, length?

    Have a boat with a 7.5hp max rating, and planning on puttin a 9.9 on it. I had a evinrude 6hp on it before, and the 9.9 only means an extra 14lbs (6.5kg) I think, so that shouldn't be a problem. Still, can I put the gastank up in front with a gasline running all the way back and still get it...

    recovery of submerged evinrude, advice?

    I've made a couple of post earlier, and thanks to replies I've been able to get my 1970 6hp evinrude to work great. Today I got a phonecall telling me that my boat has sunk, including the engine. Tomorrow i hope to recover the engine and start working on it. I've made a couple of searches on...

    killswitch evinrude 6hp

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to build a killswitch on an 1970 evinrude 6hp? I do have a service manual with wiring schematics, but since this is one of those "on-cd", the quality isn't the best. Plus it doen't really cover how to make your own killswitch. I have found an older post on...

    evinrude 6hp, fuelproblems?

    English is not my native language but I'll try to describe my problem as detailed as possible.. I have a 1970's 6hp evinrude that has served me well many years, until recently.. Started with small vibration on and off, and I didn't bother to find out what was causing it right away. When it got...
