    1974 9.9

    Noticed my ol'reliable 9.9 was a little "off" today. Runs good and starts easy. Went to check points. Good. Sync is way off. Got all the adjustment out of ramp I can get. Roller is about 1 inch starboard of mark before throttle plate moves. Nothing looks overly worn. Something definitely needs...

    Small ground strap

    E15rccs I put a new used powerhead on mine. I videoed my motors before tear down. I have a small 6 inch ground strap on block, port side, I believe mounted to exhaust cover. Do any of yoose guys know where the other end could go. Of course my video did not help.

    1975 25hp Evinrude

    All right gentleman, my nemesis is whipping me. The ?armature? plate wobbles like a bent rim on bicycle. She wants to run, but I can't blame her for being difficult, I bet the timing is everywhere. It does run, just hard starting and difficult to keep on. I searched my problem, tried Mr Reeves...

    1975 25 hp throttle

    Old evinrude resurrection has gone well. One quirk however. When advancing the throttle, if you go to far, the roller can fall off the other side of the ramp( ?timer base?). What to inspect/ repair to prevent this?
