I have 2 arrows with the letter t next to them, one on the cam and one on the flywheel. and I'm not sure where they are supposed to point. Thank...

    I'm trying to figure out how to set timing now because it has to be out... it backfires no matter what rpm. I did have it reved up a little to make the backfiring more noticeable for the video!!

    Found this laying loose under the hood. Not sure where it goes or what it does. Also looks like the starter solenoid is bad because if I arc across it with a screw driver the motor turns over.

    No signal at the solenoid I found a 30 amp fuse that was bad but still nothing at the starter, looking at the neutral safety switch and starter solenoid noe

    89' rude 20 or 72 rude 25 which is better?

    I was thinking that exact thing. Not sure how hard replacement parts will be to find on a motor thats 50 years old!! It runs fine just thought the 1989 would have better technology and less wear!

    89' rude 20 or 72 rude 25 which is better?

    Mostly I was wanting to know if either one had weaknesses over the other. Both motors run great! The 72 is electric and rope start. The 89 is rope only. I can do the maintenance on either engine, however I dont know a lot about either engine because I was born in 89 lol. Just didn't know if...

    89' rude 20 or 72 rude 25 which is better?

    I have what I think is a 89 evinrude 20 hp, and a 72 Johnson seahorse 25. My question is this. If you were only going to keep one motor which motor would it be and why? I'm using a 1460 semi v bottom fishing boat and just want the most dependable engine on the boat... I plan on duck hunting...

    1996 evinrude 48 hp keeps spinning prop hub help!!

    I agree. I am putting in at the same marina on a deep lake. Its in flood zone usually 20 feet deep its almost 30. I haven't hit anything in the water. Both props are in perfect condition minus the spun hub with melted rubber..... I was thinking cheap quality rubber hub?

    1996 evinrude 48 hp keeps spinning prop hub help!!

    Thats what I thought exactly. The new prop was never hit on anything it looks brand new but the rubber hub has slipped and melted. I marked the hub and put it back in and it definitely slipped. It has a new water pump and a full tune up from the mechanic.

    1972 johnson 25 hp seahorse shift problems

    I appreciate the insight! I'll check the coils and sparkplugs! I just got new gear oil and water pump installed and got the shift linkage properly adjusted so a couple more tweaks and it will be good as gold.

    1972 johnson 25 hp seahorse shift problems

    Thanks guys I adjusted the shift linkage and got it to work. Problem is the boat won't go past half throttle under load. It revs up fine out of water but won't even get on plane under load. Starts quick and idles nice... maybe a jet plugged up in carb? Thanks yall
