    Shifting very difficult

    Was just being facetious!🤗. So, if this is the problem, ( I have no reason to believe it isn’t) is this a complete tear down of the bottom half?

    Shifting very difficult

    Guess I’ll just have to pull the boat out then to check it out! Unless of course, it fixes itself! Thanks!

    Shifting very difficult

    Are you saying split the lower shift cable? The shifter moves very smoothly, both directions and neutral when the engine is off! Could this be an interrupt or switch problem? I did replace the distributor cap and rotor. Perhaps got wires crossed when reconnecting the thunderbolt?? I’ll check...

    Shifting very difficult

    Had the bellows, lower shift cable and gimble bearing replaced! Now for some recent history! Last fall, I removed the lower Alpha 1 gen 1 unit, but forgot to put the shift lever into forward! Possible dumb thing #1?? Drained the lower unit, but did not refill. Possible dumb thing #2?? The...

    Tubing, vents???

    When I first bought the engine several seasons ago it seemed to really run good! However, I did notice the sides of the engine was quite oily from several of those hoses not being connected from point “a”to “b”! So what affect do these hoses have on performance? Would the engine have more top...

    Tubing, vents???

    If I would have read the fine print (didn’t have a magnifying glass handy), I would have noticed the words “check valve filter and nipple assemblies! That should answer the question!

    Tubing, vents???

    Ok, just found this diagram. May just be what I need. However, and perhaps one of you can maybe clarify this, but all those hoses come out of one area and go to another; and not just hang loose like the diagram might suggest.

    Tubing, vents???

    The two lower hoses look to be identical and may have been cut ! The upper hose is much smaller as far as OD is concerned, but has a larger ID. Much more flexible! It originates from the bottom of the red mark in the 2nd pic! I’ve searched for diagrams, but no luck! All this could explain...

    Tubing, vents???

    1982 evinrude 150hp has small tubes coming out the back sides of the engine and go nowhere! Not fuel line, too small and not going to the carbs! They just dead end ! Are they vents of some sort? And for what ? Can take pics if need be but not till tomorrow! Thanks!

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    Ok Shipmates, perhaps the problem has been solved! On the original carburetor, there is a Welsh plug covering a mixture screw! Really wasn’t familiar with these plugs! The new aftermarket carb came without said plug so you could see the screw! This turned out to be the problem! The new carb...

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    Don’t recall taking the cap off the tank, but the vent was/is open. Motor was a kicker but wouldn’t start this year! In a barrel now and the tank is on the ground! When squeezing the bulb, it does get very hard and fuel appears to leak out all around the carb and the spark plug gets...

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    Just received a replacement carb in the mail, albeit an aftermarket one! Installed it and the flooding still exists! Disconnect the fuel line from tank to motor an the engine runs fine! Coincidence? I don’t know! Any other possible explanation! I’ll still play with the float, but there...

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    How so? Took the carb off and checked the float and needle valve! All works as it should! Lift the float up, needle seats, let float down, needle drops ! Pump the bulb once, won’t start! Twice, and carb floods! Remove the fuel line, and motor starts! I can play with the float—should I...

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    2012 evinrude 6 hp 4 stroke, made by Tohatsu, won’t stay running when connected to the external tank! Hard starting and then will run rough and die out even with a new spark plug! Disconnected the hose to get new gas thinking bad gas might be the problem! Just for s & g, pulled the starter...

    Float bowl pin stuck???

    Yes, did a little bit of research and found that Tohatsu started making 15hp and down Evinrudes in 2011. Mine is a 2012. Should make it easy to get parts —-if needed!

    Float bowl pin stuck???

    Have a 2012 evinrude 6hp 4 stroke! The carb is flooding! Removed the carb but cannot remove the pin to remove float and needle! Pin is not rusted, just won’t slide out! If I really got serious, I could probably really put some muscle to it but could also destroy things! I feel foolish asking...

    Fuel solenoid

    Yes, in the video I watched, I mistook the gasket for a diaphragm! Will order a kit today! Thanks

    Fuel solenoid

    All of a sudden, my 1982 evinrude 150 has become extremely difficult to start when cold. Can’t say that it starts that much easier when warm either, guess it depends on how long it sits! A fellow slip mate who coincidentally, has pretty much the same engine, only an ‘83, came over and removed...
