It's actually an easy job. Definitely a Winter job for a novice but I did a total rebuild on my late Father's 1971 18Hp Fastwin. Took me 3 years to build up the courage to do. Pretty straight forward YouTube is great. good Luck if you proceed
Well I got a surprise when I took the flywheel off the Evinrude that I completely rebuilt and I think I figured out why it is not running right. Look at what happened to the new coils. i must not have tucked the wires away good enough. Can this be repaired or do I need to order new ones? Part...
Ok I will order those, but I will just switch over the Points, coil, and condensors from the other motor,. I believe the components are compatible or it might be easier to switch out magneto plate
Picked this engine up for a song. Sat for 4 years. I got it started ran a while then stopped. I believe because I didn't have gas can vented. My question is If you got this engine what would be the first thing? Check Points, coil, condensors? Carb?
I'm starting a new thread. Put on rebuilt Carb and got the engine running. You see by the video sputters and can't get low idle. Also the exhaust housing is very hot not the head, and water outlet is very low. I confirmed water is shooting through head when I replace water pump I shot water thru...
I have the two motors now, The Tahots has a small gas tank maybe 3. I read there's a place where I go that has 100% gas, it's at a Marina. I just finished rebuilding the Evinrude Carb again. I will install this weekend and cross my fingers. that has a 6 gal.
Stay healthy my Friend
