    Easy starting then NOT easy starting

    Don't know "lanyard switch". I am concerned that it would cough want to run but I could not get to gear fast enough in order to open throttle. It will only pull in neutral. Is lanyard switch the man over board switch? How to check for spark? A light bulb on alligator clips?

    Eliminating oil injection

    My Mariner 90hp 2 cycle OB229536 warning horn sounded so I took it to a tech. He said "bad float sending unit and oil lines", replaced the lines and suggested new tank, float, and sensor. I asked him to just isolate the feeding lines to the pump and I will run premix 50:1. This done, might I...

    V2 PowerDrive not responding to foot pedal

    My 3 yr old bow mount stopped rotating by foot pedal commands. On/Off and variable speed continues to work. When I disassembled the plastic levers last summer I could effect control by manually pushing the soft switches by hand. What could be the deal?

    fuel pump J15RENM

    Sluggish running at low speed and sudden dying unless I were to pump the primer bulb led me to suspect fuel pump trouble. I attempted to rebuild pump using gasket set, but to fortune I was not able to flip my brain upside down to reinstall the many tiny springs and plungers. So, I ordered a...

    New Label on TCW 3

    Recently in Wally Mart, I saw gallons of outboard lube mix titled "Evinrude Johnson Synthetic Blend". It was thinner blue color than I have seen of XD 50. No where on the label did it state "XD 50, XD 100, or XD 30." I question if this is the original XD 50? Or might it be a cheaper version...

    Asking year and horse?

    In examining a motor for sale advertized as 70hp mid 80's I see the tag as model E60ELCMM. Also the serial as J0116473. I would suspect this as a 1973 60 horse, but I am not qualified in code decifering. It is a two cylindar Searhorse. Friendly help would be appreciated.
