    91 Force 70hp "free" starting issues

    I was given this motor by a friend of the family who took it off a pontoon boat. I did not receive any controls with it, but. I'm hoping it moves to my fishing boat once I get it running. I was told that it ran the last time they used it (of course..who uses it when it isn't running). It had...

    Tilt and Trim checkup (1980 SeaRay - 228 Mercruiser)

    I've just replaced the Rochester carb with an Edelbrock 600 and got her running nicely. I thought I'd check the t&t, but when I pressed the buttons, I hear motor running but the cylinders don't move. I know I put them on last summer (then didn't use it as gas prices were way too high and kids...

    1971 Mercury 640

    I am in the market for a new motor and my neighbor has one of these in his garage. He hasn't had it running in at least 6 years and had the lower unit drained and stored in his heated basement. I picked it up yesterday to try to get it looked at (find out what, if anything, might need to be...

    '56 Evinrude 15hp Fastwin

    I'm very green with outboards. I've recently purchased a small 14' fishing boat for my retired dad and a '56 Evinrude 15hp Fastwin from a guy in town. I only paid 120.00 for the motor, so I expected some problems possibly. Before trying to get it started my brother in law (much more...
