    83 40hp Johnson Workhorse w/ jet pump and prop $800...screwed or not?

    I couldn't hear it run, still too cold out, and no compression tester. I had to make a quick decision, so I bought it. It also came with a really cool motor stand. I plan to put it on my 16' Lowe semi V if it runs. I'll try to get the thing running this weekend. Any comments or suggestions for...

    Water Pump Indicator Quick Fix?

    I have a 2006 johnson 15hp 4 stroke. I had alot of trouble keeping the pee hole from freezing up last fall, so I took the little needle and spring out of it so it makes a bigger stream that doesn't freeze up so easily. Is this bad to do? I lost it (of course) over the winter so I wonder it I...

    2006 15 horse oil overfill...STUPID MISTAKE!!!

    I have a 2006 4 stroke 15 hp outboard that began to misfire badly and cut out at higher rpms. Took it home and found out it had 1 and 1/2 qts too much oil in it (Still can't figure out why).

    72 125 evinrude overcharging and missfiring

    My motor has a misfiring problem, and it has stumped a couple of repairmen who say the motor is perfectly fine. I found out on my last trip (I had just installed my second starting battery because the first one fried) that it is charging at about 17 volts at full throttle. I read a post that...

    72 evinrude 125 flywheel

    Could the flywheel be defective on my evinrude starflite 125? It has a missing problem. The boat repair man can't find anything wrong. He replaced one coil, cleaned the carbs, replaced the dist. cap, etc. The motor has perfect compression, and nothing else wrong. He replaced the flywheel, and...

    72 evinrude link n sync and carb overhaul

    My 72 evinrude starflite needs a link and sync and/or a carb overhaul. Does anyone have any tricks or tips? The engine coughs and sputters for 30 seconds or so after you gas it, then it smooths out.

    72 Evinrude 125 coughs and sputters

    I have a 72 Evinrude starflight 125 hp that coughs and sputters for a few seconds after you throttle it. It then smooths out and runs fine. It is worse right after running at low speed for a while. It isn't too bad with new plugs. I switched from Champion to autolight plugs and that helped a...

    72 Evinrude power tilt & trim

    Can you put a power tilt and trim unit on a 1972 Evinrude starflight 125. I love the motor, but it sure is a pain to tilt manually, and power trim would be nice. Does the CMC pt 130 at cabelas work well, or would it even work? Any others you know of? THanks.
