    Spark on only one cylinder- 1997 Evinrude 50HP BE50TLEUC

    All parts were OEM? If so, spark plugs....connections and or wires are next to test. All wires and all connections. Funny grounds somewhere can lead to time consuming wild goose chases. Frustrating for sure.

    Spark on only one cylinder- 1997 Evinrude 50HP BE50TLEUC

    Points more to the power pack when this condition exist. Mc Tool....yamaha's both fire at the same time at least the ones I've worked which isn't many.

    1978 Johnson 140hp running rough. Need advice

    If what you describe is happening you will soon have a ship anchor if you keep running it.

    1983 Johnson 140 Horse J140TLCT No Spark.

    It's a 2 stroke....find another outboard. She's done. Airplanes clime, then they level off and descend...outboards are going up hills all the time. If you get it running at home nicely...that's great but under load she will try hard....but.... As fast as spark, corroded wires and terminals...

    Mounting bracket for j200

    I see the 3/16 thing now or I get the math, oval the holes...you will be fine. Top only, right? Should need to though. Everything should be the same.

    Mounting bracket for j200

    I have those brackets on my E-tec 115. I've done two of them. They should bolt right on...was your boat missed drilled? You said 3/8 off and everyone else said 3/16... Something is amuck.

    83 7.5hp, smoke from cowl

    Not factory...at least none that I've seen. Should be an easy fix. Any corrosion on the mating surface?

    83 7.5hp, smoke from cowl

    I'm going to say "yes" powerhead gasket. Pretty loud too. Are the bolts loose?

    Milky oil

    Looks like some of that lower price greenish oil that I've seen. Video was quick and hard to see clearly. Might not be bad at all. Like others have said, put it in a glass bottle and look at it tomorrow. Vacuum testing is easy though. Any intake manifold suction tester works and I screw it on...

    Prop Rotation

    Hey Crosbyman....does chat gpt do all that or do you lay out all that stuff?

    Prop Rotation

    Lol, nobody seems to want to answer your question...you pull it forward to get it in gear. Cheers

    Prop Rotation

    With the motor off, pull the plugs, put it in gear...and turn the flywheels clockwise while observing the prop shafts. To answer your question, clockwise is the default.

    1988 Johnson 15 won’t stay running….

    Lots of terms I've never heard of. To answer racer question, were the parts ordered OEM? Also, there was a 10 lb difference in the compression reading? Just because it starts and runs now doesn't mean it will push you down the lake. Under load will be the next test.
