    1987 Evinrude 90hp overheating

    Just got this 1987 V4 90hp. Never seen it run when i got it. Done a compression test and pot 3 was 90 where the rest were around 105-110. I put some 2 stroke down the barrel which brought pot 3 up to 97 so thought nothing else about it. Something i would get around to after the season ends. I...

    Evinrude V4 120GT Looper Mixture Screw Settings

    1990 V4 120 Looper VRO disabled pipe capped and wiring undone. It had a lean sneeze at idle, apart from that engine ran well. Gave the boat to a friend said he was a "marine mechanic" He said he was going to replace the choke primer as it was not pumping gas through the small pipes and would...

He didn't count how many turns he adjusted them by or how many turns they were set at. Can someone please...

    Does a Mercury model 200 (1978) 20hp have a kill circuit

    I have managed to get an old set of wiring. The key switch has been cut off but going by the schematics the battery just conection is just per the wiring loom and not direct to the starter ?? Then i can just touch the wire as per the key would do on the ignition. Is the start in gear normally...

    Does a Mercury model 200 (1978) 20hp have a kill circuit

    Thanks dwco5051 the schematic is great. Thanks Mark and Racer I will take the wiring out of the boat. The reason for the running out of the boat, to show prospective buyers how it runs. Not able to show on the boat that's in lock down 75 miles away but can get access to remove the loom.

    Does a Mercury model 200 (1978) 20hp have a kill circuit

    So its OK to start ? Nothing going to stop me from starting it by jumping the starter ?? Unsure of mercs just checking if there was a wire ( black and yellow kill like on the OMCs) that would stop me from being able to start it.

    Does a Mercury model 200 (1978) 20hp have a kill circuit

    Reason behind the question. I have the motor off the boat at present and would like to start it. I know how to jump it but unsure if it has a kill circuit in the ignition system. Is there any wire i have to disconnect or can i just start it ?

    Evinrude 120 V4 Miss almost every second rmp

    Will have to wait till our lockdown if over before i can get back to the boat. I understand what you mean about explaining the miss. It seems to go up and down as the revs go up and down. I put a new CDI unit on last year. Due to covid the boat was only used about 40 hours since the new CDI...

    Start here for the parts you will need. You will need the complete pump minus (maybe) the stainless cup. You will need the plastic enclosure. You will find the seals here as well, http://ww2.iboats.com/Johnson-Outboard-Cooling-Parts/dm/cart_id.560639201--session_id.458301020--view_id.271266
