    28 HP Evinrude 1988 backfires & stalls in idle

    I have a 1988 Evinrude 28HP E28ESLCCR that runs really well aside from the fact that it will backfire & stall out when left in full idle. I've played with what I believe is the low speed carb adjustment screw on the front by a full turn each direction, in 1/4 turn increments, same behavior...

    '76 Johnson 6HP (6R76A) spark issue

    I purchased a spark tester and indeed confirmed by suspicion that only one plug was producing a spark on my 1976 6HP 6R76A motor. The motor starts and runs when I manually wind the magneto (currently waiting on new pinion gear to rebuild starter recoil) but only the bottom cylinder is running...

    '76 Johnson 6HP (6R76A) missing Cam Follower

    During the disassembly of the starter recoil (in order to replace a worn/chewed up pinion gear) I noticed that the Cam Follower is missing. I'm not sure exactly the purpose of the cam follower, as I've read it can cause issues and some mechanics will remove. The motor started and ran prior to...

When I pull the cord it sounded really "chunky" compared to the normal sound, and I...

    150HP Evinrude E-Tec BRP outboard oil useage?

    I purchased a used (2014) pontoon with a 150HP Evinrude E-Tec BRP outboard motor, great shape with less than 100 hours on it, runs great yada yada yada... My question is how much oil usage is normal per amount of gas used. If I run 100 Gallons of gas how much oil should I expect to burn...

    1976 6HP Johnson short shaft tiller issues

    I purchased a 1976 6HP Johnson outboard which was in very good condition, brand new fuel pump, new fuel lines, carb rebuilt with proper kit & seals, clean as a whistle and when the gentlemen who sold it to me started it in a barrel it ran fantastic, started on the 2nd pull after sitting in his...
