I have read several posts already that seem to maybe answer my question, but I would like some clarity. I recently purchased a 2005 Yamaha F200 4 stroke with 183 hours on the motor. Yesterday I did a full service on the motor from the oil and filter, to the fuel water seperator, fuel filter...
I have read the forums for a little while and didn't seem to find the same symptoms I am having. A little history, I just purchased a center console boat with a 1995 Evinrude 130 with non VRO (mix my gas). i purchased this boat from a old man that had a stroke a while back and I believe it has...
I just purchased a boat with a 1995 Evinrude 130hp engine on it. I am trying to find out if my engine is a looper or crossflow that I have read about. The engine number is E130TLEOA. Any help would be appreciated on this subject, just trying to get some information on the boat and motor...
Ok I have a 1998 Johnson 25hp motor that only seems to idle and rev perfectly fine with the choke on. Now on my motor you pull the choke all the way out and I can hear it squirt, then it automatically pulls itself in almost all the way. I noticed there is a little red line on the choke pull...
I just purchased a 1991 15hp johnson (according to the owner) but I can't find a serial number anywhere. I have a 1987 9.9 evinrude and the serial number was worn off the plate (like the 15hp) but I found in on what seems to be a freeze plug in the head. Now on the 15 has the same freeze plug...

I have not got to test the motor in water yet (fixing a bad carb) but when I had my 1987 9.9 running I noticed the prop would spin while in nuteral. Now when I put it into forward or reverse ther was no clunk sound but it seemed positive and the prop would really spin fast then. Is it normal...
I read the main rules and did not see if we are allowed to mention a outboard we have for sale in the brand specific forums?? It says no selling but it seems to be more toward I can't come in here with my business and try to sell. So my question is can you sell your personal engine in here or...
Hello all, just want to make sure I am on the right track. This is the first engine I have ever torn into so I want advice before I tear it up. I have a evinrude 9.9 1987 that I bought and the owner said ran great :confused:. When I fire the engine up, it runs for 3 to 4 seconds then dies...
