    bypass vapor pump assembly

    Can you bypass the vapor pump assembly on a 98 evinrude 115? I converted the VRO system to straight mix with a fuel pump, well my son in law broke off one of the nipples from it. Crazy this small thing is $163

    Starter not engaging after running

    I have a 98 Evinrude 115, the motor starts and runs at first, but then when I turn it off and try to start it again, it seems like the starter is not engaging. It has to sit like 60 mins for it to even try and start again. Brand new starter & I checked all connections and they seem to be fine. I...

    98 Evinrude 115 carb adjustment?

    Sorry for the late reply, Just noticed the notification. Model is E115GLECM I just replaced the impeller and it is working good. We replaced the VRO to go straight mixed gas. The overheat horn does work but does not sound when we have the issue. Image shows what I hold open manually to...

    98 Evinrude 115 carb adjustment?

    Hey All. I took the project triton out yesterday and it would not start or stay running. I took the cover off and held the throttle open just a little bit while the Mrs. tried starting the boat. It did start and ran really well for about 15 mins then felt like it lost power, when I put it back...

    Bypass VRO and use Fuel Pump

    I did see a few on ebay going for $65... When I pump the primer bulb, I am getting gas to the top, but it is not going into the crab lines. Shown in image. Let me say, that I watched a few videos on how to bypass the VRO and seen where they cut the oil & gas lines. Not sure if I should have...

    Bypass VRO and use Fuel Pump

    Appreciate yalls replies, It seems the connector on the pump was broken off, so I need to buy a new one. Was hoping to bypass the VRO all together, but looks like I need to just purchase the new part.

    Bypass VRO and use Fuel Pump

    I have a 98 Evinrude 115 and it seems the Vapor Pump is not allowing gas into the carbs so I am wondering is there a way to bypass the VRO and use a fuel pump and just use mixed gas or would it be better to get a new vapor pump and hope that fixes the issue? All threads I have seen have mixed...

    Starter not engaging

    Battery reads 12.11 so I don't believe that is the issue. I will charge it overnight and see if it happens.. It tries to start a few times, then the spinning sound occurs.

    Starter not engaging

    I could really use some help on this one. It has me stumped. Just replaced the starter and solenoid because the starter would just make a spinning sound but not engaging. It will try to crank from time to time, but mostly it just makes the spinning sound.

    What is the name of this peice?

    I cannot find this piece name anywhere. I was calling it a throttle cable motor bracket but nothing comes up. It's the piece behind the throttle cables thats broke.

    Fix chipped paint or do a wrap?

    I bought a 16.5ft triton for $300 and it has some pretty good chips out of the gelcoat and paint. Would you recommend to get it fixed or fill the areas and put a vinyl over it?

    Is my mercury oil injected?

    Much appreciate all the replies. Seems I must not have drained all the old gas out because it still is running decent. I added 5 more gallons with a 50:1 oil mix ratio and it seems to be running smoother. Now it seems like there is a noise coming in and out around the flywheel area on the top.

    Is my mercury oil injected?

    Hey All, I bought a 88 bullet for $500 and it runs decent (not a bad looking boat for $500). It takes a minute to start then smokes a little. Sometimes it dies when I try to accelerate so I need to let it sit in idle for a few minutes. When I bought it they told me it sat for a year and may...

    Cant figure out what this is.

    Re: Cant figure out what this is. Ok, I hope this is good enough. It is leaking under the plastic piece that the arrow is pointing to. Will go see if I can see a model number.
