    70 Hp Evinrude fuel pump

    1974 70Hp Evinrude Model 40473M. I have been chasing an issue with rough idle. Good compression, spark and fuel. Carbs rebuilt. Thought I might have a ruptured diaphragm in the fuel pump. If so, then the pulse line could draw fuel right into the crankcase and run rich. I also admit to the...

    1974 70 hp Evinrude Timing

    I had to change the power pack on my 1974 70 hp. The manual says to check the ignition timing after this is done. Set to 20 degrees BTDC at 4500 rpm IN GEAR. Looking for some guidance. I found this from Joe Reeves in the Top Secret files. Sounds nice that this can be done without running the...

    9.9 Johnson. Does this look right?

    I needed to replace the lower unit on my 1977 9.9 Johnson long shaft. Found a 1985 LU with short shaft on eBay pretty cheap. The guy sold lots of motor parts and was parting out this motor. I did not need his short shaft since I was re-using my long shaft. However, when I pulled his the end...

    Hi Guys, My son has a 1977 Johnson 10EL77A 9.9 long shaft. This is only the second year for this boat/motor and he runs it 2 days a week. He gounded the prop on a gravel bar at low speed today and said it would not shift. I had just installed a new Solas prop I bought him last week since the...

    Wiring harness suggestions '74 70 HP

    I have been tracking down some electrical/ignition issues on my 1974 Evinrude 70 HP. One mechanic said he believed that I had a short between the motor and the remote control. The harness had lots of places where electrical tape was used for repairs. So this looked suspect. I pulled the tape...

    1974 70 HP Evinrude Carbs

    Had a bit of motor trouble at the end of the season. Seemed like the carbs or a carb was flooding. Good idle but when I put it in gear and tried to throttle up, it was bogging down. If I kept forcing it, it eventually "cleared" and would speed up and get on plane. This happened at times, and...

    1974 MFG Super Gypsy

    Hello All, Have a 16 foot Super Gypsy that I have had since 1993. Floor rotted and so did the stringers/ribs. Too much work for me to take on so I am going to let it go. Not even considering placing on Craigs List. Have had it garaged (fortunate to have an extra garage) and now need the...

    1974 Resto Question

    I have a restoration thread going in the Resto Forum on my 1974 16 Foot SS. Some of you are familiar with the slider doors for under the splashwell. I redid the rotten wood and covered with vinyl. Question is whether or not to paint the "grid". Unpainted is original but would like to see and...
