    Broken piston rings

    I've broken about 4 rings trying to get the pistons back in the block despite using a tool that is supposed to ease them in. This is the lower ring on an '82 9.9 evinrude. 3 questions: 1. Is there a method I should be using that someone can recommend? 2. I now have extra top rings and am...

    1984 E70ELCRD High Voltage in Water

    Hi, I had my 17 ft Whaler out the other day and it was running fine. On the way back to the ramp I noticed that the sea cork had fallen out and when I went to put in a spare (with the motor in neutral) I was getting a shock when I put my hand in the water; is this normal? Luckily I was able to...

    Evinrude 9.9, I keep breaking the rings

    Hi, I'm trying to put my my 1982 evinrude powerhead back together and I keep breaking the lower ring. I have a ring compressor and one of the pistons slides back in with no problem but I have already broken 2 rings trying to get the other one in. The piston slides in no problem if the rings are...

    I have an Autozone near me and was hoping someone could suggest automotive equivalents to the following items: OMC Gasket Sealing Compound OMC Gel Seal OMC Adhesive "M" OMC Cleaning Solvent I found the choices for Gel Seal particularly confusing the last time I was there. Thanks

    Wrist pin bearing lubrication, is it necessary? 1982 Evinrude 9.9

    I have my motor completely torn down and I am wondering if there is any reason I should remove the wrist pin and lubricate the bearings before I start reassembling? As far as I know there is nothing wrong with them. Should I just squirt some 2 stroke oil on them or will they get enough...

    1982 evinrude 9.9 crankshaft assembly question.

    I have the crankshaft out of my 1982 Evinrude 9.9 hp and I'm wondering if I should be able to spin the lower crankshaft bearing assembly by hand? It doesn't move which I hope is the right answer. Also, I notice that the "Bearing Set" for this motor is "Obsolete"; does this mean I can only get...

    1982 Evinrude 9.9 Power Head removal

    I followed the instructions in the manual and removed the shift lock lever screw, the 6 screws attaching the powerhead to the exhaust housing and the 3 rubber mount screws and it will not come loose. I was looking at Leeroy's Ramblings (Maintaining Johnson 9.9 Powerhead/Gearcase) and was...

    Ok, I'll RTFM, but which one? 1982 9.9 hp Evinrude.

    I have a model E10SELCNS that I picked up for cheap (free) that I want to see if I can get going. I've been looking on ebay for the service manual and I can get close to the year, but not the exact one for my model. I notice on ********** that this model shares many parts over several years...

    1984 E70ELCRD no spark

    Here's the problem: motor was running rough so I replaced the spark plugs. I started the engine, ran for a little bit, it revved high and then quit. After it quit I noticed that the fuel line to the bottom carb was leaking profusely, which I believe was my problem all along. I fixed that...

    Katama Windshield (Clear Vinyl) Repair

    When I bought my 74 whaler katama the clear plastic windscreen was in shreds (although the rest of the canvas was in good shape). I bought a piece of 40 gauge clear vinyl that I plan on having sewn on; does anyone have any guidance tips they can share? Should I use vinyl adhesive after it is...

    Gear oil Leaking 1982 4.5hp Johnson

    Hi, I was in the process of changing the impeller on my 1982 J5RHLCNR Johnson and because I found I needed another part I ended up laying the lower unit on the floor overnight. This morning I found that ALL the gear oil has leaked out of the top of the lower unit from around the water pump...

    1982 Johnson 4.5hp Carburetor Bowl Drain

    I picked this up a couple of weeks ago (model J5RHLCNR) and of course I had the seller demo it so now it has some fuel sitting in it of questionable age/quality (probably no stabilizer either) and I want to drain it. The diagrams show a drain screw but I see no way of accessing it without...

    1982 Johnson 4.5hp parts confusion

    I have a model J5RHLCNR and when I look at the parts list some of the items have 4.5 after them and some have 7.5, for example, "Magneto - 4.5" and "Magneto - 7.5"; why is this?

    1984 Evinrude E70ELCRD

    I was draining the fuel out of the carburetor bowls and I noticed there was no Air Filter; is this correct? I tried to find the part online but none of the diagrams even show one.
