    9.9 Evinrude 4Stroke Electric Prime

    Having trouble keeping it running after it warms up - works fine if I squeeze the ball. I am now wondering if I "bumped" the manual lever (the little red thing) on the electric prime solenoid, when I was replacing the fuel pump. What position should it be in? Can this cause my problem?

    water in oil

    This can only be bad. 1999 Evinrude 9.9HP Four Stroke Out of winter storage yesterday - noticed oil dripping down outside of motor. Took of cover, pulled out "dipstick" - and a watery oil mix practically jettisoned itself in my driveway. It was running great in October, and has always ran...
