    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    I am picking up a second parts motor tomorrow for the recoil assembly. It’s cheaper to buy a whole motor than the part. I’m hoping to get a runner out of two frankenmotors

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    I’ll do that soapy water test. I put new nylon washers on last night and still had leaks today. Probably 99% chance my prop seal is ruined. Has a big glob of fishing line wrapped behind the propeller and a bunch of sand in the lower unit.

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    I put J8C instead of J6C plugs. I’ve read both are the standard plugs. Someone with more knowledge than I will know which is accurate.

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    Sanded and set the points, put in some hotter plugs. It’s a runner now. Think I missed an orifice cleaning carb/ will only run with choke on. Water pump is pumping but not super well. Im going to order a brand new water pump and try that again. Leaking lower unit oil in my garage. Going to...

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    Ok; that’s about what I’m seeing. I think that pretty much leaves either my grommet is bad or I didn’t have it hooked up right left

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    Sprayed water though the brass tube and it came right out the back of the exhaust housing assembly. I did the lower unit in water and turn with a cordless drill. I had a little bit of pump out of the grommet but it was pretty pitiful. It should pump pretty substantially even with a drill correct?

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    I'm sure it is a very simple repair. I debated on even starting this thread, but wondered if there was some weird part or step that I'm missing. Im gonna replace that grommet and try to spray water through the brass tube. Hopefully it fixes the problem.

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    Impeller came out in one piece. Rubber grommet on top of pump housing looks pretty good (although I do have a spare I can try) . I haven't sprayed a hose through anything yet, but this is going to be part of my next plan.

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    No telltale fitting that is correct. No water coming out of back the exhaust housing assembly either. Already took apart to make sure water pump housing is hooked up to brass tube. It’s good. Will remove lower unit and pump in bucket of water to see what’s up. Everything appears to be...

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    I wish it was that! 100% we’ll above the av plate. I’ve got a 1984 I’m working on as well both short shafts I’ve been swapping out in the same bucket of water, and it pumped well for like 30 minutes. I know water level is good. I don’t use muffs either

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    no blockages under the thermostat. I was able to blow a little air and everything seems to be moving freely. Will remove cylinder head next

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    I have a 1971 Evinrude fisherman that I’m currently bringing back from the dead. I put a brand new impeller on, but it won’t pump any water. Took lower unit off to make sure the blades were in the correct direction and that the water pump had the key. Everything is installed properly. Still no...

    1968 Johnson 6 hp cd-25c

    Evinrude will start for a new seconds and die. Sort of a pain to start without the pull rope assembly.
