I changed my battery in my Wave Venture and the darn speedo is jacked up now. Dont think I did anything wrong. Any ideas where I can get another one? I checked ebay but none on there.:confused::confused::confused::confused:
In the last couple days I have picked up a 7.5 fleetwin and a 5.5 fisherman that are around 1956 models. I know the 7.5 is 56 but what is 5514 on the 5.5. Both seem to run great other than both of the motors drip or tiny spray right around the shift handle. The 5.5 actually spits a little water...
Just picked up a 56 Evinrude 7.5 tonight. Fired up perfect but seems as I move tiller or throttle it is getting stiffer. I unhooked stator arm and it seems pretty free. Any tips for lubing tiller pivot areas. Seems that the start stop collar expands also when you move tiller handle. Can that...
The back rubber pads that are mounted to studs in back of cowling are broken. I have one pad but not the other. How can those be repaired and where can I find the other pad I need. Are those still made? Thanks Mettyfish
I got the tiller off. How do you get the gears off that go from outside the motor to the inside. I don't see any set screws or pins?????? Help. thanks Mettyfish
I pulled block and replaced impeller and put a new style Evinrude fuel pump on this motor. Boat tested it this past weekend and it runs incredible. Almost like a brand new motor. But I did notice a few drips of water coming from around the head gasket area. Should I just run it like that or...

1978 6 hp Evinrude. Bought it home. No spark what so ever. About went and bought a power pack and coils but got some advice to unhook stop switch and sure enough motor ran perfect with stop unhooked. Checked switch with ohm meter and checked out perfect. But still had same problem. Opened up...
I have a 78 6hp evinrude and when i first aquired it it had no spark. I unhooked one leg of the stop switch and bam it fired right up. Runs perfect but I cannot figure out my issue. The lill switch ohms out just fine. But if I touch the unhooked leg while its running it will stop it. I have...
I just aquired a 6hp and got it home and found that it has no spark. So I was thinking powerpack but I pulled off the flywheel and it looks it has been rubbing the top coil. So could that be my problem? The flywheel or that coil?
Is there any way to test the powerpack or outside coils? Thanks...
1984 Evinrude 15 HP. The guy I bought it from said it just quit on him last summer in the middle of the lake. So he bought a brand new mercury. Bought motor and tank for 150.00. Not to bad considering it's in great shape. So Im thinking carb or something easy. Brought it home. It does have spark...
Bought an external pressure tank that seems to be in very good shape. I don't have a 50s motor at moment and don't know when I will get another. Question is whats best way to store it to minimize rusting issues. Thanks for the help gents. Mettyfish
