    Evinrude 6hp

    1975 evinrude 6 hp 6504r.When I throttle up after a long troll the throttle is really slow to respond and almost seems to want to stall. The only other thing is it will stall once or twice during the first hour and a half of operation at trolling speed.I can also hear the motor sucking air about...

    Trim will not go full down

    Last fall I did a bellows job with trim senders along with all the routine layup stuff. I noticed a few weeks ago that the drive was not trimmed down full. Almost but about 3/4 to 1 inch to go on the trim cylinder.I must have heard the pitch change on the pump and thought it was home. Now that I...

    Couple more 7520 questions

    1) Does the 303347 oring just set on top of the 303357 lower bearing to driveshaft seal? I see a little cup on top which it seems like the o-ring will slide down into eventually,compromising the driveshaft seal between there and the 303356 driveshaft to crankcase plate. 2) How does the filter in...

    One more 7520 question (then I got er)

    For some reason the water pump base will not seal to the case. I have looked at it and it is just 2 clean gasket surfaces so I don't see why it would be leaking but it is showing bubbles under pressure which it will not hold.I have checked for cracks in the case and water pump base.Are the...

She is not pumping water as nothing came out the exaust relief port and it just seemed too hot and too loud.I went to drop the lower to see what parts I need for a parts run and I cant get it to drop.There is no coupler like on my...

    75 6hp Rude

    I want to replace my slow speed knob as it is missing. It appears that a PO cut the slow speed needle down so that it does not protrude through the engine cover any longer.Can I just get a new needle and unscrew the old one in favor of new? Or do I also have to remove the packing nut and washers...
