    Walmart Supertech 2 Cycle Oil

    It would appear that the mystery is solved. Walmart Supertech 2000 TC-W3 oil is made by Pennzoil-Quaker State's private label division called Specialty Oil Company. Here is the MSDS sheet on Super-Tech Marine Outboard 2 Cycle Engine Oil TC-W3. http://msds.walmartstores.com/cache/24970_1.pdf...

    Cleaning my Carb

    My 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude seems to be a little harder to start and keep going than it was before. It takes 3 or 4 pulls on the starter and if you push the choke in too quickly or not quick enough you can get a quick pop and she stalls. As it idles while it is warming up, it can give that last pop...

    Sierra Coils vs OMC

    I am planning on putting a couple of new coils on my 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude. My dealer wants $56.00 for OMC vs $34.00 for Sierra (I'm in Canada). Of course I need two of these and like the savings with the Sierra. Anyone have any thoughts positively or negatively on using Sierra coils.

    When Did OMC start Measuring Hp at Prop.

    Does anyone remember when Evinrude/Johnson started measuring their Hp at the propeller as opposed to measuring it at the powerhead? What model year did this transistion take place?

    Rubber in Water Exit Holes - 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude

    I keep finding black rubber material in my water exit cavity (just above the cavitation plate) of my 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude. I keep struggling to pull it through the holes so as to ensure no obstruction here. By the time I get it through the holes, it is impossible to identify what it is. The...

    Sealing the Seals

    I am going to be installing the new seals for my 1961 5.5Hp Johnson and was wondering about whether I use any sealant on these things when I put them in. I have both the OMC Gasket Sealer (the one with the brush in the cap) and 3M#847 (like sealer 1000 - becomes a rubbery gasket type seal). I...

    LU Seals on 1961 5.5Hp Johnson

    Well I am in the process of changing the seals on my motor and have come to two roadblocks where I could really use some advice. The first is; I can't seem to slide the bearing head off the prop shaft. It slides on the shaft OK but stops at the end. I don't know if I am just supposed to pull...

    Driveshaft and Shift Rod Seal 1961 5.5Hp Johnson

    I want to change the driveshaft and shift rod seals on my 1961 5.5Hp Johnson (CD-18) and was wondering if I can do it without tearing apart the entire gearcase. Also, will I need special tools to get those seals out.

    Storage of a Portable Metal Gas Tank

    I have a new plastic gas tank that I use now and will be storing my old metal tank for who knows how long. It works fine so I want to keep it as a back up. Does anyone have some thoughts on how to store it so it doesn't rust or degrade. I thought about spraying fogging oil into it to reduce...

    1st Time Carb Rebuild - Questions

    Hello: I have a 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude and I am rebuilding the carb after my engine tended to hesitate at high throttle like the fuel was being intermittently restricted (when at WOT it would lunge and slow down and lunge again), and it didn't idle well. I have the carb off and have some...

    Torqueing Head Bolts on 1975 9.9Hp Evinrude

    I am changing the cylinder head on my motor and found that when I took off the head bolts, , I couldn't get my rachet on the two at the bottom due to confined spacing. I had to use a 3/8" wrench. My question is, how do I torque them down when I put the new one on, if I cannot get my torque...

    Trolling Motor Life

    Hello all, really like the forum. I have acquired a MinnKota Turbo 35, 27lb thrust motor. I am planning on running it with a 70Ah deep cycle battery. My question is. How long does one of these motors tend to last? The outboard I am using is 31 years old and runs like it is brand new, but I...

    Storage of Deep cycle batteries

    Is it hard on a deep cycle battery to be stored at outdoor temperatures in the winter ( below 0 degrees F) or would it perhaps be good for it by reducing discharge. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
