it's on a really clean looking Alumacraft for a seemingly good price. If we look at it will definitely check compression. It's a bit of a drive and mostly want to check on the reputation of these. I haven't come across anything bad but IBoats knows best!
As do all manufacturers, Evinrude had some outboards that shouldn't have been built. Any thoughts on these, anything I should look out for?
Thanks in advance!
This is why I no longer mess around and just add a junction box to the winch post and run individual wires to each light....but as mentioned above check the tow vehicle fist with a test light to rule it in/out.
Took apart the lower and the impeller looks new. Would water pee out if the thermostat was still closed? It's my dad's motor so I have no past experience with it.
I have a 2011 20 hp 4 stroke that isn't squirting water out but I can definitely feel air coming out the hole with it running. Does this sound like an impellar issue? We used a compressor to blow air from the top and at first it seemed plegged but afdid eventu
Master isn't too bad, slave is in the bell housing.
I wish I knew more about the initial symptoms but my kid has been wishy washy on his story.
I know some air likely got sucked in while bleeding, and these are a PITA to bleed so I'd hate to throw in the towel and drop the tranny if I don't have...
My kid thought the clutch pedal on his '98 F150 was getting squishy so he set out to bleed it.
In the process he managed to twist off the top of the bleeder in the slave cylinder (conveniently located inside the bell housing). I haven't been able to get the broken bleeder out and if I don't...
Thanks for the info. I figured aftermarket would be easiest but prefer keeping it factory if not too much of a PITA. Do you know if they were overall decent motors?
I'm looking at this motor but it has no tilt. I came across a couple threads that made it sound like a factory trim/tilt pump can be a added to any of these motors and that they are pretty interchangeable. Anybody have more insight? IT's a 40hp tiller, the current owner thinks it's a 1995...
Oh, and most important, when bleeding it make sure you're aware of the Manual Relief Valve! I wasn't. My kid opened the valve and I didn't realize it.......which surely explains why I couldn't get it to bleed out. 5 turns of a screwdriver and she's working better than new.
Whole process...
