    CD-20R

    Recently picked up a 63 Johnson CD-20R. First time I saw it was in 1999, and it hasn't moved since then till the owner finally decided to part with it. It hasn't run for at least 23 years. Hung it on a stand for a few days then drained the lower unit, maybe 1/2 oz of clear water came out first...

    Prop shaft end play

    1976 Evinrude 25 hp, 25652E. I have no history on this motor and have only run it in a drum of water once. I was doing a gearbox pressure test and had the prop removed. I noticed shifting from neutral to reverse that the prop shaft moved in. I was able to measure .030" movement. When shifting...

    Lean sneeze

    My1961 Evinrude 18hp often has a lean sneeze on the first start of the day. The choke can't be feathered, it's either full choke or on choke. It's more like a switch. The lean sneeze only lasts for about a minute then it's gone for the rest of the starts during the day. The question is, Can or...

    Topic always scrolls to last entry

    Seems lately that when an existing topic / post is opened it starts with the first post then scrolls to the last post of the page. Is this a recent change or just my computer. Windows 10 with Firefox. It never did this before.

    Sealant

    HI, I'm in the process of replacing the exhaust cover gaskets and the power head to lower unit gaskets. 1961 Evinrude 18hp model 15034. One more broken bolt to remove from the head and it's ready to assemble. My question : Should I use a permatex "hardening " or "non-hardening" gasket sealant on...

    61 Evinrude 18 hp max rpm

    I have one of those little "wrap around plug wire" tachometers. I had the 18hp out on my 16' aluminum boat with 2 adults, fuel, fish gear, battery etc. I would run about 3840 rpm. I was out again today, less 1 adult & gear say 220 lbs less. RPM maxed at near 4200. Everything I've read states...

    76 Evinrude 9.9 Shift Linkage

    A couple weeks ago I noticed that my lower cover half had a broken mount. The lower cover half was cracked near 3/4 of the way around the mount ( 1/4" threaded hole ). I found a new lower half and replaced it using all my original parts other than the two gears that the tiller handle operate...

    61 Evinrude 18hp soot

    I've had this motor for about 6 months. I noticed almost like soot deposits ( probably carbon) under the side where the exhaust cover is. I've cleaned it a couple times but it re-appears. Would it be one of the two gaskets on the exhaust? Can I leave it for now or should I discontinue use until...

    61 Fastwin 18hp fuel consumption

    I have a 18hp Fastwin that I replaced the coils, condensers and points in. I took it for a run today on a 14' aluminum wide / shallow boat. With 2 occupants, trolling motor and battery it seems a rough calculation showed about 7.1 mi/gal ( imp) or 2.5 km/l . Does this sound reasonable or do I...

It is way too loose. I had no problem adjusting it on the 9.9 but can't seem to find the adjuster on...

    Evinrude 9.9 Stall

    I have a 1976 Evinrude 9.9 Model 10624H with a strange stall problem. It starts good and idles OK for trolling. Dies once and a while trolling but always restarts with 1 pull. The stalling problem always seems to occur like this, Start motor and warm up, leave dock, full throttle for 2.5km...
