The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
you are 100% correct. I was hoping that my problem was fuel. Dad thought so and had tried to switch to portable tanks. I knew the function of pulse limiter at the time but was hoping that if malfunctioning, it might reduce the output of the fuel pump. The motor was less than a year old when...
I am going to have to find an experienced outboard mechanic as I do not have the fortitude to attempt this myself.
1993 Evinrude ve115tlets; work done so far. Random order list.
VRO previously disconnected by my Dad
Replaced old fuel with new non ethanol premix
Replaced anti-siphon fitting at...
Auto parts is going to have another new gauge for me in the morning; thney do not want to be loaning a bad gauge.
FUTILE I know but I do not give up easy.
Good news that spark is good is dwarfed by bad news that compression sucks.
Checked compression again with my Amazon tester. Noticed that needle was not zeroed; it was holding ar 50 psi. no zero adjustment. opened gauge and moved needle back to zero. tested a couple of cylinders; mid 90's...
compression numbers may have been another Biden moment. I worte them on a piece of cardboard that I cannot locate. I can verify again tomorrow. I am using an amazon gauge which I consider useful for comparing cylinders, but values have been credible in the past. My memory is not as good as...

I have a lot of reassembly to do before I can run the motor. In order to replace the thermostats, I had to loosen the lower engine cover. I never truly got it loose, but I got it to wiggle enough to replace the thermostats. I will work on this tomorrow morning.
I am using the main tank. I...
sorry about the ramblin. its just that this has been going on soooo looonnnng. I feel like I have a victory over cancer but this motor is testing my fortitude.
there is one wire from port sensor and one wire from starboard sensor.
it looks like maybe the original power pack is back in the...
motor is on 22' Lowe deck boat that belonged to my dad. about 2005 he removed vro system, maybe because of alarm. the alarm never quit. I have been trying to resolve since 2013 since he moved 100 miles to live next door to me, before I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2019. I began a 2 years...
