Disconnected the vro a while back and now the fuel pump is getting weak. Premixing fuel but having a tough time figuring out what fuel pump to put on it. Model number J90eleuc. Want the old fashioned pump that runs off the pulse. Not spending $400+ on a pump. Racerone, Joe Reeves or the old...
OMC guy here but nephew brought his 9.9 merc that he has abused and the powerhead gasket is gone. There is literally one bolt holding it in and he has it propped up with corks. Just looking at it it looks like I need to drop the lower unit. Should not be a big deal as the shift linkage is on the...
1997 90hp Johnson with vro disconnected. Mixing 50:1. Primer solenoid clicks but does not prime so I know that I am getting juice to it. I can turn the red handle on it and engine starts right up, turning it back to run once it warms up a tad and engine runs flawlessly. I am assuming either one...
Have a 1980 35hp Evinrude with the black cannon plug on the engine. However the old pontoon boat has a red plug from the ignition. Not really wanting to give CDI a couple hundred bucks for a replacement harness from ignition to engine on a boat that I am going to sell pretty cheap. Can I replace...
Replaced rope and put back together but there is a red "arm lever" off the side of the recoil. What is it and what does it do? Can't find it on any diagrams. If I don't zip tie it back it catches the gear on the pull start. Not the pinion to the flywheel but the yellow one underneath it. Thanks
Looking at what looks like an early 80's 35hp long shaft evinrude. Guy says the model number is E0098862. Can't find it anywhere. Anybody know what year it is?
1978 85 Evinrude on 24ft toon. Runs beautifully but only turning 3900rpms. Not complaining about speed as it is around 21mph but would like to turn higher and not lug the engine. I have a 17pitch prop on now and even dropping to a 14, which is about as low as they go won't do it. Is there a way...
Engine was totally submerged for 36 hours. Got it home and cleared everything out. Not the first time I have had to resurrect one. Compression 120 all four cylinders. All the grounds had corroded off so replaced all of them. Cleared all fuel lines and blew out carbs.Took starter apart and...
I need what I call the trim tabs that the pistons from the t/t push on where they meet the mounting bracket. 1978 85hp Evinrude. They look like a flat piece of metal with threads and go in the mounting bracket holes when the manual piston is removed for a t/t unit. Can't find them on any...
Been on the Johnson/Evinrude forum for years. Never had to deal with a Merc until now. Have a 40hp not sure of model number but has 402 on the upper lower unit cover. When first hooked it up it ran great and shut off. Now it just runs great. Have to unhook fuel and let it run out. Took control...
Having a devil of a time finding a t/t unit for an '89 85 horse evinrude. Model 85895c. I think there were only a few years they made t/t for this engine. Can you guys help me again? Can't really find complete part number or availability anywhere.
I have a 1978 85hp evinrude, model number 85895C, that does not have t/t. I can get a 1976 johnson javelin that has t/t on it very reasonably. No model number for it yet. I have checked two sources to see if the '76 t/t will fit my '78 and am getting conflicting information. One place says it...
What causes a lower unit to build up pressure and basically explode when you take a fill/drain screw or the philips out (to rebuild). Have had this happen twice in the last three years. Once on a '88 48special and a '77 75hp.
1982 50hp evinrude. Have had this engine for 15 years and never any trouble. Went on a 4 day fishing trip and no problems the first day. Late in the second day I smelled something hot and when I took the cover off my shift cable was melted with the wire exposed and it was HOT. I have a wiring...
Have a 1979 24ft pontoon that I can't get the rpms I should. The engine is in tip top shape and runs great. I have a 13 pitch prop on it now. Had a 9 pitch on it but it shook every bolt loose on the engine so went back to the 13. I actually lost speed when I went from a 17 to the 13 but have...
