    1962 Evinrude 18hp Exhaust

    I shelved this project for other priorities last summer. Magneto jumps strong and carb rebuilt. I pulled lower unit to do the impeller and the entire housing, driveshaft, and pump cover are covered in dry black soot/ carbon. Never recall the two QD 10's or the 3hp being like this. Exhaust leak...

    1962 18hp Evinrude Carb Packing Sierra Kit 18-7043 help

    Believe that the last kits that I got that may not have been sierra had some different needle packing parts. Namely the washers. I recall using 2 fiber washers in the carb first followed by a nylon packing washer.Packing nut would press on the nylon and seal the fiber in. There are no nylon...

    1962 Evinrude 18hp magneto. Will a QD magneto swap?

    I picked up an Evinrude 18hp. 95 pounds even compression. Has original coils and cracked up. Now, I own 3 QD-20/21 10hp motors. I rebuilt the entire magneto that is not in use at all. Are these swappable between QD and FD motors? I know coil and points are but will the whole plate just swap and...

    Help With 1991 9.9 Throttle End Idle Speed Knob

    OK. I want to wind this project down and return this motor. Hard starting and the culprit was apparently the warped plastic cover. I have muffs on and can get the idle stable at 750. I played with the throttle end idle speed adjustment and it does nothing. I cannot see what the linkage does and...

    1991 9.9 Carb Top Cover. Pic Attached If I Am Smart Enough

    Background. My uncles motor. Probably pretty low hour. He has to pull and pull and pull to start. Figured I'd try to help and it is finally warm enough to dig into this. I did make a post a few months ago. Well, the starter and the carb are off. Mack corner looks very warped. Dealer had part kit...

    Can Someone Clarify Link & Sync 1991 9.9hp

    This is my dad & uncle's and I advised that I would look at it. Pull start and hard starting on the first time in the day. He says it runs well but may take 20 pulls the first time and replicate itself if it gets tilted for awhile. Otherwise starts easy the rest of the day. Too cold to fill up...

    1966 JW21 3hp Sync Help

    I have seen one other post on this with no answer to the subject. Manual states that there will be an index mark on the cam for syncing. There is no mark on the cam on this motor. Suggestion on how to make sure that this one is set correctly? Right now it runs at high but dies at idle - I am...

    Johnson 3HP Sintered Fuel Valve Removal From Tank - It Is Stuck

    JH21E. The valve flowed erratically when I drained the real old gas. I cleaned the tank and want to get the valve out and burn out the sintered material. The contraption is a two piece animal that looks to be brass. It has a larger threaded piece that is directly in the tank. Then a smaller...

    3hp Questions On A Carb Spring And The Stator Plate

    JH21E. Looks like a 1966. It does not run, was left with gas and the speed/throttle lever that looks attached to the stator plate does not move. 1. What is the difference in a JW and a JH? 2. I have opened it up and the first thing I noticed is that there is a spring on the choke side of the...

    Help With 1959 QD20 10hp Shift Lever

    Was out last weekend. Motor still runs great so I have not posted in a while. Something went out of adjustment with one of the linkages or the shift lever that controls forward/neutral/reverse and the "governing" of the motor. What is happening is this. Link and sync looks fine. But when you...
