    1990 evinrude 9.9 - question about cooling

    Hey all, it's been a while, yes i'm still alive and well and now messing with my own hunting motor. 1990 9.9 - we ran it last season without a hitch. This season, a week ago, we went out to setup for the hunt. Upon our return the motor smelled like it was burning- I put some water on the top of...

    Been a while- I took on a job, I swore i'd never work on someone else's motor again!!

    Spring is here, out of the blue I get an email from some gent who got my number from a previous service job I did. I made it VERY clear from the start, I can fix your motor but you will have to pay for parts up front- owner agreed. I still have my Thundercraft with the Merc TOP and I still...

    Got my inline dialed in tonight '69 Merc 1000

    I decided over the winter to bite the bullet and swap out my Johnson 90 for a 1969 Merc 1000. I got the boat back a week ago with the new to me 1000. I serviced all 3 carbs. It ran like a dream on muffs, don't bother tuning these motors on muffs folks, waste of time. It took me about 45 minutes...

    KB Series Carb - 1962 6 hp fuel leak- KB6A

    There is a hole in the float bowl cover. Gas spews from it when I pump the bulb, is it just an incorrect needle and seat setting?

    My zephyr

    Well - it runs- had the lower off today, no water in the gearcase, pumps at first startup then it stops pumping. Took 30 pulls to get it going. Ran it for 2 minutes, after 30 seconds water stopped coming out the exhaust hole. Shut it down, put compressed air up through the exhaust then restarted...

    QD-23 Pull Start

    Mine is missing the 2 link bars that go to the plastic piece. 203713- I called the dealer and they don't have em, several dealers that it. I tried making them yesterday using a piece of throttle cable from a lawn mower. They worked until I bolted up the recoil and started the motor, they got...

    scored a free QD-23 today

    50 PSI on both cylinders (hasn't run in a decade so I'm sure I can get it higher), all new everything under the flywheel however missing all the carb control parts - knobs and such and 1 of the little recoil springs is gone, should I or shouldn't I part this thing out? Should I revive it...

    Gearcase Interchange 1969 Johnson 20

    The gearcase chart doesn't go into motors this small. I can get a gearcase from a 76 25 hp Evinrude which shows the same gearcase housing part number and driveshaft, the forward gear is a different part number. I'm thinking it will work, opinions? Thanks

    1969 Evinrude 25 clear lines

    I'm working on this motor, I have a clear line that's been cut on the left side of the powerhead at the very bottom (not a bypass cover) and a smaller clear line that's been cut at the front of the powerhead right under the flywheel. I'm thinking it's a recirculation line, gas comes out of the...
