The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Suspected my carb is not getting enough gas. Pulled the pet **** and looks like a fuel filter is still stuck up into the tank. Does it come out? How do you go about getting it out? This might be my last problem then onto great running motor. Thanks, Mettyfish
I put a new ignition kit and carb kit in this motor. Got it fired up but right on the head it measures 210 degrees. Right behind the head about 160. And on exhaust plate about 160ish. Is my head getting to hot. I did not replace impeller but it pumps strong out of the holes and out of the flush...
The felt wiper for my timing cam was old and basically gone. I got a new with my ignition kit but it seems kind of long. I am not figuring out how its supposed to set in the holder. Can someone put a pic on here showing how it is supposed to set in there. Thanks a bunch. Mettyfish
I took off the ignition plate and cleaned up everything. Put it back on and now I can barely rotate it. Seems like it really fits tight. Its almost hard to rotate without the screws in it. Any ideas? Thanks, Mettyfish
I bought an ignition kit from Napa Auto parts. Included points and condensers. Also included felts which I think are the wipers for the cam. Also included are some capsules with grease in them. Is the grease for the wiper felt. And are the felts for the wipers. Thanks for any help gents. Mettyfish
Picked up a 9.9 and got it running great. Noticed it needs a throttle spring detent part # 0319414 and an idle adjust knob on side. Would like to find used reasonable prices. Any ideas? Thanks for your help gentleman.
I removed the guts from the lower unit and as everything fell out I lost track of which side the shift rod goes. Or does it matter? In otherwords does the shift lever that goes down to the clutch dog retainer go on a certain side. Thanks for your help as I am putting it back together very soon...
I just had a guy give me a QD18. Motor was a little stuck but got her loose with a touch of elbow grease and lube. Looks like the wrong spark plugs. Can anyone tell me the right plugs needed for that engine. It will also need coils. Darn it!!
Also got a pressure tank from another guy that needs...
I want to check impeller and can't figure out how to get the lower unit off. I undid the one screw under the cavitation plate and it would'nt seem to pull out. Am I missing something?? thanks for any advice. Mettyfish
Hello Gents, I have been absent for a bit but good to be back!! Aquired this evinrude 10 hp 62 model. Changed the lower unit fluid put it on my boat and motor ran flawless but noticed a lot of oil residue in the water including little oil ball looking stuff around the motor exhaust area. Pulled...
I was working with a buddy on his 18 Evinrude 68 model and we needed to clean the carb. He took apart the choke area stuff. When we went to put it back together there is a rod and choke linkage I could not figure out how it goes back together. Does someone have a pic or diagram of theres I could...
I know a little about clutch dogs but not much. I just traded for this 6 hp. Threw an impeller in it because the night before I got it running but no pumping. Got it purring today but when I shift it, it wants to jump out of gear. I even pulled the lower unit back off to check my linkage...
The 56 10hp prop is to tall. I have a prop from a 7.5 56 model. Would that one fit. Any suggestions as where to find a reasonable priced 62 10 hp prop? Thanks, Mettyfish
Actually my question applies to all carbs. How important is the little o ring gasket that goes in between the bowl and the jet standoff post in all carbs. It seems like a lot of carbs I open up this gasket is not in there.
Also need to know the beginning needle settings as I moved them when...
Is there a chart or info somewhere for oil to gas ratios. What ratio for a 1962 and what do 50s evinrudes and johnsons run on. Thanks everyone. Mettyfish
Been awhile since I posted. Hope everyone is doing well. Summer is over so time to get back to refurbing some motors. I just picked up a 10 hp 1962 Johnson. Has a broken shift lever. Do I need to replace the the whole lever or does it come in a couple of pieces. Can anyone give me a part # and...
In reading some old posts I am getting a few conflicting stories on oil mixtures. Can some of you experts give some details as to oil mixtures that go with what years of motors. I kniow that ratios changed in 64 from 24 to 1 to 50 to 1. But what did the 50s motors run on. I have been running 24...
I aquired this motor a while back. Decided to refurb it. Put in used but new style coils. Set points. Replaced float with a rubber new one. Carb seemed very clean while apart. Replaced impeller and oring on shift lever. Spark seems great on both cylinders Set low speed knpb to about one turn out...
Picked it up but no model or serial tag. This number is stamped on the round cap inside on motor. E2643026. Can anyone ID from that. It looks similar to a 62 3 hp evinrude I have but seems to have a much heavier lower unit. Thanks, Mettyfish
