Finally got the 73 evinrude 135 hp engine overhauled.
I have to break it in, but I can only run it for 5 minutes before its temp gets way too hot. The water is not cycling through.
I made sure the key was good, impeller is new, made sure the plastic sleeves to the tubes were connected in...

Hello,
So my engine (135 hp evinrude) is finally together and I have been breaking it in. I have been running it in a tank around 1500 rpm's. 9 gallons of gas so far. The engine will run fine and then make a poof/pop sound and bogg down to 1000 rpm's or lower and sometimes quits right after...
Hello all,
I am planning on following the guidlines to putting a tell tale into a 1973 evinrude 135 hp. After reading through the post-posted on here by iwombat (which is a really good post) I am confused about the spot to drill into the crankcase. There is a good spot on the upper part of...
I am pretty sure I lost the linkage assembly or piece. The one that connects one carb to another (looks like a wire bent in a few places). Boat motor is 1973 evinrude 135 hp. I tried to find one on evinrude, but they do not sell it. Does anyone have any good suggestions to where I could buy...
I removed the four by-pass covers on the crankcase while disassembling a 1973 evinrude 135 hp. 3 of them look the same 1 is different. I do not remember what ones came from where. Does it matter if I put them back in the wrong spot. Could anyone give me any tips to figure out how to put them...
So I just found out I have a crack in a new piston. I am looking to replace it right away. I wanted to get the motor back together this weekend. It is for a 1973 evinrude 135 h.p. I am located in WI. Is there any evinrude companies close to this area? Could anyone tell me the names of good...
I have noticed that I need a new thermo switch lead for a 1973 evinrude 135 hp. Its a little round plastic indicator on the top by the water passage cover.
Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I know that I can get one from evinrude.com, but its 68.00 dollars. I was curious if...
I drained the oil and removed the lower unit on a 1973 evinrude 135 hp. The oil draining at first was thick and slightly milky looking. The rest draining out was not as thick and light brown. I changed the oil out 2 months ago, but had to do it again do to rebuild.
Is this normal? If not...
I had an overheating problem with the top 2 cylinders. I want to make sure that water is circulating through the block and getting to the top cylinders. The motor is a 1973 evinrude 135 hp.
To my knowledge so far, there is no pee-hole by the exhaust and the water exits down by the prop. If...
Pretty inexperienced, but learning a lot quick.
I just got done taking apart the motor and noticed that the top two pistons in the block had been scratched up a little on the sides. There was no damage to the rings. The top right piston or cylinder #1's piston top is somewhat melted or...
Hello,
I am not sure if the lower unit takes a special oil since it is so old. It is a 1973 evinrude 135 hp outboard. Is there a certain type this lower unit needs different from todays standard oil in lower units?
thanks
Hello all, I am new to the forum and boating. I have been fixing up an old 1973 signa with a 73 evinrude 135 hp. I took it in to a mechanic to check out what needed work. After pulling out the spark plugs he found that in the #1 cylinder on the right side the spark plug was melted or burnt...
