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.
Got my impeller changed fired it up and runs pretty good then it would stop. Noticed my fuel line bulb not staying hard so I would pump it up and it would run some then quit. So I go to take fuel pump apart and I loosend it and I went to seperate it with my hands and it flew open and stuff in it...
Just aquired a Johnson QD-15 pretty good shape with pressure tank. Noticed that the guy only had the fuel side of the hose hooked up. The air hose not hooked up. Seems like the air hose has shrunk and I can't get the hose on. I ran it a little with just the gas hose hooked up and it would run a...
How do you release the tilt lock on this motor? I see what the lever does on the right side. It has to do with the bar moves to hold motor up. But how do you release the lever that snaps over the trim shaft? Hope this makes sense. Thanks, Mettyfish
Put in new stop switch didnt work. Finally got flywheel off and I get continuity from the connectors to the ignition plate and wires. Guess i'm not figuring out how the stop switch works to cut power. Help. It's my father in laws motor and I want to be done with this refurb. Thanks for any help...
Seems like it has evinrude influence. Sea King 5hp Model GG18736 Serial J6X808718. Love the looks of it and it seems to run pretty good. I would like to replace the impeller so I guess I will need model year and vendors for these parts. And what is the fuel ratio. Thanks to all. Mettyfish
Darn thing is giving me fits. I even went and bought the right fly wheel puller but now I can hold the fly wheel still to tighten the gear puller enough. I have a strap wrench but not quite long enough to reach around the whole fly wheel. Oh and once I get it off if I get it off, how much torque...
I thought I found out it is a 1964 but then in reading some forums it says they changed to black in 1962. Serial 1614988 9.8 110 model. I took off lower unit to check impeller last night and it is deformed. So I will replace it. But how do you get the shift shaft back into the female dog or...
I am a die hard evinrude guy but saw a Merc 1964 9.8 last night on craigslist and took the bait so to speak. Nice little motor with tank for 100.00. Owner said it has not been started in 3 years. The fuel ball on tank hose has a split, so I will get a new one. I would assume I need to start with...
I am refurbing a 3 hp evinrude from early sixties and found out one of the spark plugs holes was stripped out. So a fellow member sold me one that should be here tomorrow. So tonight I took off the old head cover and once off noticed that it is offset a little. I don't know which way it goes...
Old kill switch wiring was falling apart so I ordered a new 50 buck new one. Put it on and the darn thing does not kill the motor. I used the clips it came with also. So I ohmed the switch and it checks fine. Wiring from connectors to up under fly wheel look good. Did not take off fly wheel yet...
I'm refurbing a 60s 3hp and was changing spark plugs the other day and one stripped out. So I need a new head cover. Must have already been bad before I bought it. Question. Is that part still available? Having trouble finding it. I see used ones on ebay but would like new if available. And when...
I am kinda fixing up my father in laws newly purchased 73 9.5 hp. Did evinrude make this motor or farm it out to someone else. Hehe. I have worked on many different evinrudes but this one seems like an odd duck.
Tell tale hose is leaking. Can I just use a regular hose and stick it out of the...
A guy offered me a Martin Silver Streak. He even has the external tank with it. Is it worth my time to get it? Can anyone give me a little info on these motors? I know nothing. Is it possible to get parts and get it running again? Thanks for any input. Metty
After UPS damaged the hell out of my gas tank on my motor during shipment. I was trying to get it started today. After cleaning carb and tank gunk. I also changed impeller. Looks like I have no spark. I have a spark tester and I am not seeing it light up. I'm good at minor repair stuff but I...
1972 Johnson 2 HP 50th anniversary model. I got it on ebay and it was packed very well. But somebody probably slammed it on the head down side. Broke the gas cap and shoved the metal gas tank rim down into tank. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Question. Anyone know if they still make the tank or cap? Or...
First of all thanks to all who had a response to my questions on other motors. It is so great to have this forum. You don't feel like you're all alone with tearing into something. I just picked up a 1963 3 HP. Guy said it had not been fun in 5 years but he had run the gas out. So I put gas in...
I aquired an Eska 2hp that has been sitting for a while and I was on a mission to set it started today. I dumped old gas out and cleaned the carb. I put carb back on and then found a red part thingyon the floor that I believe is the fuel pump diaphram. I did not see where it goes upon...
There is not the normal 4 bolts under the cavatation plate. But I see 2 close together under there and one on top near the shift linkage. Which ones do I take out to drop the lower unit for impeller change. What else shall I look for while trying to get this started. I know I will probably have...
I just bought a cherry 10 hp 1976 Chrysler motor. Does not look like its been run since about 1977. I ordered an impeller for it and the last thing needed in which I ordered is a recoil starter gear. The one on it it is broken. I noticed the little spring that hooks up underneath it had come off...
