Hi everyone, just picked myself up a new toy....1989 14ft Fletcher arrowflyte with a 1989 Evinrude VRO 60HP just got it running sweet thanks to the old man, dirty carbs and gaskets missing. The problem i have now is... when tilting the engine everythings all good until the last bit, excuse the lack of technical terms... engine reaches the rams, and forces the rams down with a creaking noise... searched on youtube and the rams should go down just before engine reaches them. same on the way up, reaches half way with a struggle then its fine and sounds normal.... is this just a case of changing oil??? if soo how do i go about doing this?? i see that there is a screw that can be undone on the reservoir but thats all i can see.
iv read that most tilt motors are self bleed... is it just a case of tilt engine right up,secure engine, undo screw.... drain oil and then refill??
if its any help i can upload a video tomorrow at some point.
thanks in advance...lewis
