I got a chance to take it out today. I backed in the ramp and had trouble getting it to start. Battery was at 12v. Once it finally fired it ran for a little with some throttle. It would not idle. Even when stalled. I had a hard time getting it to start back up. After it stalling on me...
I happened to be at the closest marina boating when I took it out for the first time this year. It started the speed up and slow down as soon as I took it out. I tried to drop it off for them to look at since I was working a lot they said it’s to old. They won’t work on anything in the 90s...
I’m going to order a new one. I haven’t got a chance to test it. I will still test it before I replace it, I usually shy away from throwing parts at it but the hours I’m working are limiting my diag. time. Not to mention it takes me an hour to get to the water to test it. The boat is...
It is slowing and speeding up. I drained the fuel and put fresh in when I got it out. I changed the fuel filters and a water separator filter when I changed the fuel. The impeller only has minimal time on it. Less than 6 hours of run time.
Thank you. I will try to test it tonight! Could a faulty reg/rec cause miss near WOT? I checked the spark on all 4 cyl and it is jumping 7/16” at idle. When I get on plane the boat rpm bounces up and down almost like you would keep pulling the controls back and forth.
I have a 1990 140hp Evinrude. The tach is working but the charging system is not. I cleaned the terminal connection and verified voltage to the terminal strip. I also tested the purple wire coming from the voltage reg/rec it matches battery voltage. Advancing the rpm it still does not charge...

I have twin e-tech 150’s on a boat at work. It’s currently docked in a river. It’s usually kept in a heated garage. The temps are supposed to be single digits tonight and into the weekend. Should pull it out? or will it be ok to be left on the water all weekend? Even with my personal boats I...
Thoughts on changing the main fuse holder? I had a problem with my trim switch shorting the main fuse on a a 1989 Evinrude 140hp. I have since replaced the trim switch. I was thinking of replacing the fuse holder to a 30 amp blade fuse instead of the short 30 amp glass fuse. I have blown it a...
I have what I think is a OEM 1989 Omc controls. The trim switch is not working. I’m trying to find what model controls it is so I can try to locate a replacement switch. Would anyone have any idea what model this is or where I can find one? Thank you
