    carburetor swap

    Jet size is matched to carb throat diameter (air intake/flow), so each carb already has correct jet. 20hp was likely made in Canada.

    2000 Johnson 50 Cylinder Damage. Help!

    I would pull the spark plugs and turn the motor over by hand.. spin flywheel clockwise. If all smooth, assume bearings aren’t damaged. The droplets are obviously water, so you need that dried out of your engine asap. Run motor on muffs or barrel with deep enough water to submerge impeller...

    Keep getting spun prop 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    I have used a few new solas props without breaking in the hub-with success. Again i believe all factory-new props will be ready to go, but prop shop re-hubbed would need break-in. Either way, breaking in cannot hurt😎

    Keep getting spun prop 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    i have heard of spun prop bushings on newly re-hubbed props due to not following ’break-in or ‘hub set’ procedure. If I remember correctly (from tag on freshly re-hubbed prop from shop),with gearcase in water over 70 degrees (I used barrel in garage as it was early spring), start motor and...
