Can anyone tell me how to determine the air/fuel mix screws I need for my engine? I cannot figure out if the carb/engine is SNBG10B B OR SNBG20B A.
Parts diagram says part

Good idea liquid sandpaper, I didn't think of that. I am using acrylic enamel from NYMarine. After scuffing with the green pad am I correct that I would not need to prime?
Thanks
I am changing the lower unit color on the Suzuki from white to match the OEM blue of the 58 Evinrude. That is why I am painting it. I am trying to make a new Suzuki look like an old Evinrude.
As to the blasting I am thinking there are parts around the mounting bracket that would be difficult to...
Background: I had a 1958 Evinrude Big Twin on my Glen L Zip, but gave up on keeping it running. Bought a new Suzuki and I am in process of molding a look alike Big Twin cowl that fits the Suzuki.
My question is when I get to painting the Suzuki lower unit how much sanding is required if any? If...
Well, I got another flywheel and breaker cam. Torqued it to 65 lbs and the breaker cam cracked again. I did note the cam did not want to slide down far enough on the crank by just slipping it on. It did not go down all the way until the flywheel nut was tightened.
The crank shaft taper and key...
jimmbo,
I think you've got it. I screwed up.
"Re: 1958 johnson 35 hp flywheel torque
From reading my Evinrude service manual...60-65 foot pounds for the '58. Might want to cross check because '59 models went to 100-105 foot pounds...a big difference."
So are you sure the flywheel is toast?
After many hours of work (newbie) but not a whole lot of money, my big twin was running well. Then, long story short....the flywheel nicked the coil wire and causing it to run on one cylinder. I replaced the coil and torqued the flywheel again to 105. It appears to have dropped too low, hit the...
The knobs are tight to the needle. The needle and gland nut come out together. I just got more new packing washers and will try it with three on each needle. However, the lower unit is leaking oil all over the place after expert A flipped the dog clutch. That solved the jumping out of gear put...
I added yet some more packing and really tightened the gland nut. I'm going to set the needles then duct tape the knobs (stooping low I know). I really want one stress free ride before it gets too cold.
Thanks for the help.
After five years I finished my boat but have yet to have a relaxed ride (9 tows and counting). The Big Twin has had all the parts replaced, starts, and runs like a top. But….
Either the low or the high speed needle valve always turns out after a while, it kills, usually fouls the plugs, and...
Hopefully this brain trust will have a couple of ideas!
I have a 1958 Evinrude Big Twin 35 with a 1956 pressure tank. I have put in all the typical rebuild kits for both tank and motor.
My current problem is the tank (new gaskets and o-rings). I pump the primer button and gas comes out the...
I'm stumped...nothing new here folks.
New to me Big Twin spins like crazy with no plugs in or just one plug in (either one). But with both plugs in it struggles, maybe one revolution per second. It did however, turn over fast enough briefly (just one time) with both plugs in.
Facts:
It had the...
Mostly a newby here!
I just bought a 58 Big Twin to put on a 14 foot Glen L Zip I am building and I have a couple of initial questions for you kind folks.
First my model, 25034 is a manual start per the documentation but this engine has electric start. Could have been modified but doesn't look...
I just put a used 20 hp Johnson jet drive on a 14 foot Jon boat. Performance is fine. The problem I have is the noise. When I get it on plane the jet water exhaust is out of the water and the noise is very loud. The excess noise is out of place if anyone else is on the little rivers of...
