    Plug wires for a Sportwin

    Does anyone know which plug wires I need for my '72 Evinrude 9.5hp Sportwin? They don't seem to be sold specific to engines, but in 4", 6" and 9" lengths. Or, I can't find the right reference. Thanks for any help.

I'm working on the fuel system and trying to find out how the VRO and fuel pump are configured, specifically, but it would be handy to know where the designers have positioned...

    Johnson v4 with VRO won't keep running

    My 1988 (I think) Johnson v4 with VRO won't keep running. This started with engine failure while underway, then it would start again & run fine for a while. Coil & some electronics changed by mechanics who "knew exactly what was wrong.) Installed new fuel filter yesterday. I'm leaning to fuel...
