    Magneto and ground pins for pollak ignition switch

    I have searched for this already but have come up empty-handed. Need to know which "M" pin is for the magneto and which is for the ground on a 6-pin Pollak ignition switch. "M" pins are at 2 and 10 o'clock when facing the back of the switch. I have all the others covered, just need to know...

    Coil help

    Sorry if this has been covered, but I searched and couldn't find the answer.... I have an '82 evinrude 90, in good condition. The other day I pulled a trigger (orange) wire out of one of the coils while putting the hood back on. I have a couple of extra coils lying around, but I believe...

    Si-Tex CVS 106

    I just acquired an older Bonito that will be heading to the Great Boat Yard in the Sky. It has a Si-Tex CVS 106 color fishfinder on it. Can anyone tell me if this is a piece of equipment to refurb? It's missing its power cord and transducer, both available from Si-Tex or on Ebay/etc. I'm...

    1972 Johnson 65 REVIVED! It's ALIVE!

    Bought a '72 Johnson 65 about a month ago, removed from a decrepit Bonito. Couldn't check anything on site other than the prop spun and drove the cylinders with the plugs removed (in F/N/R, now I know why- Hydro-electric) so it appeared to be not frozen, and I picked it up for $125. Did a LOT...

    Metal impeller housing- correct sealing

    1972 Johnson 65 with a metal impeller housing. When removed rom the lower end, there was no gasket material between either the housing and the base plate, or the base plate and the lower end. Looking at evinrude.com at the exploded parts diagrams, they are not supposed to be there. Can anyone...

    Hydro-electric lower end connectors

    Are the two connectors shrink-wrapped in black in the center of this picture the correct location to expose and then disconnect if I will be dropping the lower end? Reviving a 1972 Johnson 65 ESL and checking the water pump/replacing the impeller is one of the last steps I have to do. Yes, I...

    fuel flow '72 Johnson 65

    OK, making a lot of headway on this engine, spark is good on all 3 cylinders, now working thru fuel issues. The fuel pump has three ports, one towards the front and two behind it. The one in the front is clearly the "in". I assume that the two rear ports go a: to the carb and b: some sort of...

    Dismantling controls- 1972 Johnson 65 hydro-electric

    OK, lower unit OK (no water in fluid), solenoids operational in foot, starter works, oiled cylinders, new fluid in foot, ordered impeller. Though gapped correctly, I'm unable to test plugs due to incorrect ignition key (just ordered). I'm going to have to get into the control box to replace...

    BRP Premium Blend v. Dextron

    I'm hoping to get a ruling on this issue. Can I substitute Dextron for the BRP Premium Blend in my '72 Johnson 65 with hydro-electric drive? If yes, can anyone tell me the viscosity ratings on both? Yes, I know the BRP is preferred. We're talking about an engine I paid $125 for...
