    4.5hp evinrude outboard stopping above shift speed on a lake only

    If that is your main motor, the anti cavitation plate should be roughly level with the bottom of the hull. In no case should the water depth be less than a few inches above the intake, if you can avoid it (thinking of rough seas....)

    Hmm...ok..1960 Evinrude 10hp running...

    few inches more water, and no sustained revving in the barrel. Sounds good -- more water will cover up some exhaust noise.

    https://www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1989&hp=4&model=E4RDHCEC&manufacturer=Evinrude&section=MIDSECTION Not sure if this misses your point, but you need the tilt pin (#23) to lock the motor in an upright running position. Note also the shallow water bracket and...

    Need Help with Ignition

    Use this tool or similar for testing: Set for 3/8" (plugs removed) -- tests strength of ignition, which includes the parts on the flywheel. Look for a strong, hot spark.

    Thanks for the update. The lund may have a plate on the transom that will show a maximum horsepower.

    Johnson Outboard 9.5 1973 9R73B can hardly pull start with spark plugs in but with plugs removed pulls very easy

    Deep Creep is a penetrating oil and lubricant. If you use it in an outboard tank, you need to clean out the tank, lines and carb. Penetrating oil frees up debris which finds its way to the carb. Use only outboard oil with fresh gas in the outboard. TCW-3 or a better rating for outboard oil...

    1985 evinrude 8hp impeller removal problem.

    Maybe aware of this, but the shaft key for the impeller is missing in your picture. If you don't have it in hand, will want to be sure it didn't drop into the gear case.

    Need help with my first project boat

    What boat is that? Looks like maybe a 14' wooden hull. Pics can be deceiving, but it looks to me like 60hp is way too much motor. I would be thinking more in terms of a 15 to 20 hp in a regular shaft length (usually 15 to 17 inches, from the anti ventilation plate to the mounting point on the...

    Johnson Outboard 9.5 1973 9R73B can hardly pull start with spark plugs in but with plugs removed pulls very easy

    Was it working well before you fixed it with the deep creek, or maybe another adjustment?

    E15REOD idle

    sounds like something may be loosening up with vibrations. Maybe the cam follower screw, or the idle passage screw plug. Maybe the spring is missing on the slow speed needle valve.

    4.5hp evinrude outboard stopping above shift speed on a lake only

    sounds a little rough to my ear. Is the shaft length correct for the boat? That is, maybe a long(er) shaft is needed.

    Fastwin 18 - Help IDing Part

    It would be a good idea to test the stop button before doing any throttle/carb adjustments. Bring the motor down to a slow idle and stop it with the button. It may be that the prior owner set the idle speed after finding that the stop button was not working.

    Fastwin 18 - Help IDing Part

    Think of it as part of the throttle system controlling fuel flow to the carb. On top of the carb there is also an idle control for the air/fuel mix. Your current settings allow you to shut off the engine with the twist grip (throttle). If it idles slowly and smoothly until you shut it off...
