    Peculiar Oil Leak on 1961 5.5Hp Johnson

    So I tuned the motor up with new points, condensers, carb rebuild kit, new fuel lines, impeller, etc. Anyway, the good news is that it runs great. Unfortunately, when I come back to the dock I have a small puddle of what looks like oil or oil and gas mix in the back of the motor, in the pan...

    What Wood or other Material to fix Transom on Alum.Boat

    I have a 70s aluminum boat made by Springbok. The wood on the transom is getting a little rotted. I am wondering what is the best type of wood to replace it. Perhaps they have a plastic material for this now? Also, the screws that hold the wood to the aluminum boat. Some of them are under...

    OK, so I am cleaning my carb. All is going well. I have my high speed jet out about 1 turn from gently seated and I have come to a silly problem. My carb has the knobs for both high and slow speed adjust on the slow speed needle. Behind the knobs is a metal bar that connects the high speed...

    Tune Up 1961 5.5Hp (CD-18)

    I thought I would give my motor a good tuning. I popped the flywheel and noticed that my motor does not seem to have an oil wick on it. My motor diagram says it should. Where would this oil wick get clipped on this motor? Also, the points are a little pitted so I thought I would change them...

    Fish Finder Question

    Maybe someone on this board may be able to answer my question. I finally got a fish finder. An Eagle Cuda 300. I have gone through the manual to no avail with this question and I doubt it would matter what fish finder model I have. When I look at my screen, what am I actually seeing? Even...

    Boat Plugs

    This may be a dumb question but I thought I would put it out there and see if anyone has some new ideas or thoughts. I have a 14' Aluminum boat (Springbok) that use a 5/8" rubber plug for the plug hole. The type that presses in and then fattens a little more when the lever is locked in. I...

    1975 9.9Hp Evinrude Misses at mid-range

    My motor seems to miss when I run it in gear at about mid-throttle. It idles not too bad and moves forward slowly ,OK. As I add throttle is seems to cough and miss but if I keep adding throttle it seems OK again. I don`t seem to have any problems at WOT. When the miss occurs, I tried...

    Question on Setting Points 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude

    I am going to tune up my motor. The question I have is when I set the points to 0.020", do I need to have the throttle in any special position? Fully closed, fully open to neutral stop, fully open in forward gear, etc. or doesn't matter. I am thinking of the timing advance which I believe is...

    1961 5.5Hp Johnson Carb Kit with Float

    I have the two part numbers for the carb kit for my motor. Sierra is 18-7043 and BRP is 439071. I am pretty sure the Sierra kit does not have a new float, but would anyone know if the BRP kit 439071 comes with a new float?

    Obsolete Screw

    The screw that holds my tiller grip on is kind of stripped. I would like to change it, but it seems that it is not available anymore. Do you know if they have come up with another for this purpose. The parts lists identifies it as BRP #310303, but as I said, it seems to not be available...

    Annoying Throttle Cam - 15Hp Evinrude '76

    My new motor is working well, but the throttle operation is annoying. When I open it up to higher speeds I have to hold onto the tiller grip tightly or it will back off quickly and the boat will slow down rapidly. I also have a 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude that doesn't do this. When inspecting the...

    Sierra Gave me two Reed Plate Gaskets

    I am re-installing my intake manifold and reed plate to my 1976 15 HP Evinrude and noticed that in my gasket package from Sierra, there are two "inner leaf plate" gaskets (18-0959-9) I tried to order all OMC parts (the OMC part for this is 318924), however my dealer only had a Sierra one for...

    Question for "the machinist"

    or anyone else that knows. I have a 1976 15 Hp Evinrude that has a fair bit of slack in the twist grip of the tiller arm. I can pretty much go from "shift" to "start" without advancing the throttle at all. In LeeRoys Ramblings it says...

    Adjusting Trim depending on load - 9.9Hp Evinrude '76

    I am curious if anyone adjusts the trim on their smaller, tiller type motors, to account for various loads. My motor has about 5 holes, I think, in the transom bracket that adjust the trim of the motor to the boat. I currently have the adjustment rod in the hole closest to the boat transom and...

    Fuel Delivery Problem 9.9Hp Evinrude 1976

    My motor has a problem. Sometimes when I run it, when it is later in the day, 1:00pm etc. and it is real hot out, it fires up OK. However, you can sometimes get about 30 yards out and it starts to hic cup and then die. I noticed it last year and I knew that the last time I cleaned the carb I...

    Things are Getting Wierd - 1976 15 Hp Evinrude

    Ok, so I am trying to get a non-running 1976 15Hp Evinrude going. When I first obtained it, it had good compression (100psi on both cylinders) but no spark on either cylinder. I popped the flywheel and changed the points and set them to 0.020" and replaced both condensers. Presto, great spark...
