    I was going to order an Evinrude starter rope for my 6HP, and next to the part number (314500) it say "see service bulletin 1276" And the part number comes back as a starter spring?! Anyone have any idea what that is?

    Just picked up a 2008 115hp

    The engine quit on my friend parents one day while tooting down the Colorado River. Rather than fixing it, they decided to repower. So I wound up with it. I've worked on older engines, but nothing this new. First thing I noticed is my lifting ring won't work. So here it sits, bolted to a...

    Johnson / Evinrude 9.9 / 15 HP Connecting Rod Torque

    This is for a 1977 9.9 HP, with a 1975 15 HP power head, using a 1978 Manual specs. Manual lists it at 48-60 Inch pounds. This seems a little low? Can someone verify the correct settings? Also, should I use thread locker or anything on them? Im talking about these guys:

    Cylinder Bore

    Unusal wear on drive shaft to c'case plate (6hp)

    While sprucing up my motor I noticed this. Fairly certain it wasn't like that when I put it on. This engine probably has about 100-150 hours on it since I put it on. Ideas?
