    Patching Loldestar PVC inflatable

    When an air leak is close to a rubbing strake , does one butt the repair patch up to the strake, or use a larger patch to cover both? And while I'm on the subject of patches - what actually is PVC cement and will it stick PVC to Rubber? Thanks in advance.

    Compression ratio in two-strokes

    From my engine tuning days as a youngster, skimming the cylinder head (by a precisely calculated amount) could give a worthwhile (10%) increase in bhp. Anyone know whether the same rules apply on two-strokes? I've read all about two-stroke tuning and it mainly seems to be about tuning the...

    Mariner/Mercury 4hp stutter in mid rev range

    I have a single pot 2-stroke 4hp Mariner (Mercury). The idle, slow running and WOT are perfect but in the middle of the rev range with a constant throttle setting, it stutters, slows down by (I'd guess) 100rpm, then gradually speeds up to the original revs, only then to stutter and repeat the...

    Remote control adapter kit for 1981 Johnson 4.5hp

    I'm looking for the throttle/gear/steering adapter kit for the above but it seems as though Johnson never made a kit. Does anyone know if the 6hp kit (which IS available) would fit? The motor is J5RHLCIC and is I believe the 4hp powerhead attached to the 5/6hp leg. Any help greatly...

    OMC 4hp with FNR 6hp leg

    I've only just discovered that there was a 'Deluxe' 4hp with the 6hp FNR leg fitted (this may have been a European-only Belgian-made model, I'm not sure). Can a 6hp FNR leg be retrofitted to the smaller post '95 OMC 4hp powerhead and lower casing? Thanks in advance

    4hp Johnson - which hole is the water tell-tale?

    It's a 1996 BJ4BREDS which is new to me and has been used in salt water. I separated the powerhead from the leg, did a bit of cleaning up and put it all back with a new gasket. I've replaced the impellor. I'm now getting loads of (hand-hot) water out of C and only the odd trickle out of B and...

    Help with J6RESR from carb expert, please?

    I'm rebuilding the carb on a 1990 6hp OMC. I put a carb repair kit in and re-assembled, but when I tightened up the bowl (in the correct sequence) it cracked. With hindsight, the problem could be that when I disassembled it the first time, a gasket: No. 27 above, was missing. The carb...

    Resurrecting 1990 6hp Johnson

    Couldn't get it to start and because it had been running from a rusty tank, I figured fuel first. I put a repair kit into the fuel pump, blew out all the lines, then disassembled and cleaned the carb. As of now, it will start (only with no choke, but on two cylinders) but misses badly, won't...

    1990 6hp fuel pump - exploded diagram?

    This fuel pump was in bits when I got it. Comparing it with a pic of the repair kit, I have all the bits, but no indication of where the two springs and their associated plastic heads actually go. The kind of exploded diagrams which Crowleys and other parts suppliers use don't show the...

    OMC 4.5hp - related to 4hp or 6hp?

    Can anyone tell me if the 1980s OMC 4.5 is the same engine as the 4hp, 87cc one? Or is it a derated 6hp? Thanks in advance, David

    1987 Evinrude 4hp - Flywheel threads?

    I'm in the UK, needing to buy a harmonic puller to get the flywheel off a BE4BRCUD. What size are the three threaded holes in the flywheel that the puller bolts attach to? Thanks

    Evinrude 4hp - 100:1 mix?

    Just bought a 1987 Evinrude 4hp twin, E4BRCUD. It has a 100:1 sticker but I remember seeing somewhere on here that it was wise to run these with a richer oil mix. Have I remembered correctly, or will this run OK with 100:1? Thanks in advance

    Differences between 70's 4hp Evinrudes and Johnsons?

    I might be wrong, but in the pics I've come across, the top rear of the Johnson engine cowling is square, while the Evinrude one is slanted, cutting the square corner off. Is this correct? If it is, was that the only difference between them? If there were other differences, were they cosmetic...
