Re: Tilt/trim woes. Steel pin stuck/seized inside aluminum
SUCCESS!
I called in the cavalry (my father in law) who used a mallet and a wider punch (the wider punch is what helped A LOT.. making sure it covered the surface of the pin entirely). I then applied heat to the knuckle and while he...
Re: Tilt/trim woes. Steel pin stuck/seized inside aluminum
Oh boy..... the welds certainly were strong enough! But after heating up the ally for 5 minutes and then using my impact wrench the nuts ridges got cleaned straight off! It became a round nut! I tried welding another (bigger) nut on to...
Re: Tilt/trim woes. Steel pin stuck/seized inside aluminum

Re: Replacing stock reeds with Boyesens. Need to replace/resize jets. HELP!
Hi everyone.
I took the jets out of the carburetors today.
Looks like both port and s/board carbys are #27 (0.027 thousandths of an inch, diameter). This would mean IF they are air jets then I would need to replace them...
I recently installed model B144 Boyesen Reeds in my Evinrude 115hp V4 1978 model (model number 115893c. I believe this is a Crossflow type).
I had read in several places that a replacement jets (or resizing jets) may be needed. I also found a few places that said it didn't matter.
I'm certain...
