    How much outboard motors have improved.

    He is burning a gallon an hour of fuel at 3/4 throttle. Explain how that motor is not running lean. Don't know what's confusing about it.

    How much outboard motors have improved.

    I owned that exact motor THats ok if your #s are right that motor will burn down soon enough. No way does it survive with that little fuel in it. We will see you in the Merc section soon enough.

    How is this post still going? So obvious we are being trolled. In WHAT universe do the Ops #S MAKE SENSE!. His last post was what a gallon an hr at 3/4 throttle? I will call that for what it is BS!

    EVINRUDE 25 hp lower unit

    I believe 82 and earlier will fit. You will need to check the parts fiche to be sure. There was a spline change around then.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Buy the best gasket you can OEM if possible. The thinner cork used today does have more of a tendency to leak

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    This is such a ridiculously common problem on these airboxes.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Use aviation permatex to hold the gasket in place then torque it correctly. The oil was always in there you just never saw it. ALL carbs leak when you tip the motor up.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Use aviation permatex on the cork gasket. You will probably find the bottom has pushed out causing the leak.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Really clearly said the box had never been off before. So ask the op if he has x ray vision. And brush up on how carbs work. And the evaporative properties of gas.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    how do you figure it didn't? The hose was there for a reason. Pretty common for them to leak from there. Maybe brush up on how carbs work I think.

    How do you shift gears?? Merc 9.9 Four stroke

    The slower you go eventually it will shift into neutral. If you keep going it will shift into reverse. Get a manual or go to a dealer and have him explain this simple process to you.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    What's happening is normal. Replace the line from the nipple to the block. That line is used to reclaim the fuel oil mix that ends up in the air box.

    How much outboard motors have improved.

    Maybe your motor is from an alternate dimension where physics and combustion technology don't apply? Was the salesman hinky looking at all?
