    the cam's index mark under the FW must be just touching the carb's throttle cam follower bar or roller at the START position this leaves the throttle plate mostly closed allowing fuel-air to be extracted from the carb's top " low speed" fuel chamber . the choke can provide extra...

    J40ELCR WOT needs key pushed and released for full power

    I agree yet nuts and bolts and carb cleaning may just involve a can of carb spray.. if gaskets are saved. ... But it could be a mine field to a newbie. Aside from needles...replaced by a simpler HS jet and LS orifice that carb looks like most oldies carbs . OP will have to decide...

    J40ELCR WOT needs key pushed and released for full power

    carbs... of course ! "The guy actually cleaned the carbs for me after I bought it. Didn’t see him do it but he seemed pretty honest." spraying carb cleaner won't do it it needs a full tear down with all the intricate passages (orifices - jets- needles cleaned and air blown then adjusted...

    1998 Johnson 175 Ficht Not Starting

    I did not read the whole book but I believe that at Key on the start assist circuit (SAC) should immediately get the HPP going giving you some semblance of available PSI,s regardless if the engine strarts or not. that said and you seemed to have sparks ...... fuel injection does not seem...

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    these 4hp do run hot ....so what is HOT ?? the exhaust cover is NOT water cooled like bigger HP models and they frequently become discolored. measure the engine PH with a IR heat gun to detect any true HOT spots

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    maybe I am wrong but I do not think you need so much sealer on the impeller housing and in any case where would air enter the pump if it is under water ?? these are as simple as they get engine wise.

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    millions were made and still run perfectly. nothing realy wrong with the design. if colling flow is a problem on your 4hp then there is blockage somewhere and needs to be found. pull the PH if you have to and flush all passages with a cleaning agent...or just soak passages with hot...

    and fuel pick-up filters etc...including deteriorated fuel hoses ..a high pressure test and lift pump pressuretest will determine if fuel makes it to the VST properly then the injectors then it becomes a . question of proper injector operation if not crudded up , ignition control by the EMM.

    1998 Johnson 175 Ficht Not Starting

    EMM does not see everything it only senses things like current flow to some parts, sensor outputs etc... it does not see cracked coils dirty injectors bad fuel flows poor injector pressure etc... having no codes just eliminates a lot of things to check out. before swapping...
