    1989 Crusader 454 manual

    Hey all, Tried searching online for a PDF version of a service/repair manual for a C454RH s/n 83014. Only manual reference I could find (which was a photo only) was a Crusader service manual for gasoline inboard engines 1980 thru 1992 (TECM 596). I would even buy one at this point. Anyone have...

    1992 50 Evinrude dropping #1 cylinder

    At first, I assumed it was the dual coil, because I pulled the #1 spark plug wire while idling, and nothing changed. I replaced the coil (spark plugs and wires) and the problem was still there. At higher rpm, the engine will run on 2 cylinders, but not idle to mid-range. The only way to make it...

    An Odd Blowing Of The Ignition Fuse on 4.3l...Help please...

    I’m having the same issue as what was mentioned in an archived topic titled Blown Ignition Fuse - 2006 Sea Ray 4.3 Litre S/N 0W635564 on a 4.3 too, except it blows the fuse while accelerating to get the boat on plane. Doesn’t blow the fuse any other time. I checked the purple wire from the coil...

    2000 4.3 Bravo run on (dieseling) after shutdown

    Happens after a run, or when engine is hot. I did a full tune-up (plugs, wires, cap/rotor, carb rebuild by carb shop), set the timing to 10° (locked in base timing mode), idle mixture to 1 1/4 turns, idle speed 650 rpm. I assume there’s carbon build-up causing hot spots in the cylinders? Note...

    1986 OMC 5.0L coil hot and wiring hot *PROBLEM SOLVED*

    Hey guys, Issue: I have a customer complaint that the engine was running for about 15 min, then stalled, and could not restart. I found the ground wire loose on the battery, and corroded green.

    Operating in below freezing conditions

    Hey guys, I'm just wondering if any of you have run outboards in the winter? I have been for years on my 1982 60, but this year I'm running a 1993 70 with no cold start experience. So far today has been the coldest day (-8C) and its getting colder in the next couple of days. I'm running Amsoil...

    Excess gas in one cylinder 60 HP

    I'm fixing the seal that's leaking on the L/H side of the two block halves. When I took the powerhead off, I noticed the aft exhaust port was soaked in fuel, while the fwd one has lots of carbon and seems to be burning nicely. Any idea what would cause the excess fuel? Both spark plugs look dry...

    1983 60 HP Johnson Driveshaft Shimming

    Hey Guys, I need to know if there's a way to set up drive shaft shimming without opening up the bottom end and removing the drive shaft. I picked up a used gear case, and changed out the bearing housing seals. When I reinstalled the housing, I noticed the drive shaft had a lot of side to side...

    1970 4hp Evinrude

    Hey, I have a 1970 4hp Evinrude 4036EC that has 82 psi top, 57 psi lower. I was going to put a new head gasket in to give it a try, and I noticed a small crack in the lower cylinder outside wall (see pic below). I'm not sure if this will make a difference for compression seeing how it's on the...

    1992 15 hp Evinrude losing fuel?

    So I just rebuilt a carb and external fuel pump on a 1992 15 hp Evinrude. The engine starts and runs fine, but after a minute or so, the engine will die, unless I pump the gas line bulb. I put a brand new kit in the pump, and the gasket between the pump and head is new. Is it possible that I...

    1962 75HP Electric Shift **NEED MORE HELP!!!**

    Hey guys, Working on a 1962 75HP Johnson V4 (model V4AL-14). I just had the unit fully rebuilt in the spring, and the boat ran fine all summer.....until now. It seems that when you are in fwd or rev, the unit tries to engage the other gear at the same time, and stalls the engine. I disconnected...

    25 HP Merc Carb

    Hey all, I just rebuilt a carb (complete) on a 1986 25 HP (s/n A712403). It starts and runs, but to get it to idle and not stall, I had to adjust the throttle rod way past the idle detent (maybe the idle wire is bent?). It now idles at ~ 600 rpm. When I crank it WOT in fwd gear, it wants to die...

    Adjusting carb and timing on 1975 9.9

    Anyone have info on how to adjust the carb on a 1975 9.9 Johnson (model 10EL75C)? It only has the low speed adjustment. Also, how do I check the timing on this? I can't figure out where the timing marks are.

    1962 75 HP Johnson idle issues?

    After a week of having the old beast running nice (since the ignition issue), it now starts, but dies right away. The only way to keep it running is to choke it half way, then manually turn the throttle by hand so it won't stall. High RPM's can be reached while in Neutral by doing it this way...

    1962 75 hp Johnson no spark...*FIXED*

    Hi all, Having an issue with a '62 75hp not starting. I looked for obvious stuff, only found the carbon button in the distributor almost worn out, so I replaced the distributor cap and no fix. I hooked up an in-line spark tester from the coil to the distrubutor and it flashes. There is no spark...
