    10r77a rich lean adjust

    Check gear lube before resealing.. likely unburned sludge oozing down from exhaust housing. Especially since it was running rough until you got it dialed-in.

    72 evinrude 65hp hydroelectric won't state in gear

    Likely bad prop hub bushing. Propshaft will spin normally, but bushing lost it’s bind between prop hub and propeller and slips. Replace bushing (prop shop), or different prop like: https://boatpropellers.iboats.com/Evinrude-Outboard-Propellers/?chart=15&engine_id=62&cart_id=078085661 or used...

    Engine Running Hot

    Barrel test with water deep enough to submerge waterpump. Muffs are not a realistic waterpump/cooling system function test. Hopefully it cools normally. If it still overheats, pull heads and check water passage deflectors #12.. supposedly 4 per engine/one per cylinder.

    What is the function of the orifice plug

    Check for float valve seating (blow into inlet with carb inverted..no air should pass). Missing nozzle gasket will also cause your issue. #36

    Leaking 1972 25hp Johnson lower unit oil drain plug

    Try a thicker o-ring that will squish against the sides of the drain port when tightened down. Pressure test before filling.. rubber hose and mouth pressure and soapy water will suffice. If it seals, remove plug and fill normally.

    1987 Johnson 15 no spark

    Google: ‘CDI troubleshooting’ and grab your multimeter. Test 2 coils under flywheel at big plug with wires coming from under flywheel to cd box. If one of those coils is out of spec, no spark either cylinder. If they test good, you either have 2 bad external drive coils (rare to fail...

    1986 70 hp throttle cam question

    I work on smaller omc’s with same cam marks. The cam follower roller should be between those 2 marks when throttle plate begins to open... not necessarily when roller contacts the cam. Look for the throttle plate shaft on carb to just begin moving when advancing throttle between those 2 marks...
