    1991 E25 Klickety Klack

    Am stumped as to what is making rattling sound in my trusty motor ELEID. Initially thought maybe just external lift locking lever was vibrating, it is loose/worn at pivot point, put a bungee cord on it, no improvement. Motor runs great, smooth idle, slightly rougher in mid-range, jumps onto...

    Painting 1989 Evinrudes

    Perhaps I can add a few tips to Sam2001's excellent advice. Over my lifetime of 75 years, I have spray painted a number of cars to include an antique Mercedes and two sports cars, and learned some lessons along the way. I applied them to painting my 1991 25HP a couple of years ago. Based on what...

    25HP powerpack was rubbing flywheel

    1991 E25ELEID has run perfect for past 3 years, recently lost spark 12 miles from dock out on the Potomac. 1977 Seagull 3HP and trolling motor to the rescue. Would not jump any gap during spark test. Coil primary and secondary resistances per spec, kill switch tested good. Pulled flywheel and...

    What damage did bowline around prop cause?

    Son called last evening from boat out on the creek to say that1991 Evinrude VE25ELEID stopped suddenly and would not restart. Was safely underway using electric trolling motor in the dark. At lift, he noticed that bowline was tight as a drum around prop shaft. Cleared it, and started motor...

    Evinrude 25 HP fuel starvation at WOT?

    Bought 1991 Evinrude ELEID, cleaned carb, starts and runs okay but surges then dies at full throttle. New tank, new fuel delivery line fitting to fitting, OEM, incl ball. Noticed small fuel leak at engine connection when ball is pumped up hard. Surprised at how loose connection was, so...
