    1992 Evinrude intruder 150 running issues.

    So I just picked up this boat. Wasn't running but clearly the gas and it was shot drained it clean the carbs converted to premix. Seems to run good sometimes other times missing like crazy. I do know it has the wrong plugs and they are pretty fouled so I'm going to have to change those out...

    Yep I was able to return it. Though I got stuck with a restock fee. But is what it is.

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    To be fair. Not a prop guy haha. I took the word of the marine dealer. told me the solas would be just like the factory prop I was replacing. Same performance. An "OEM replacement" as he put it.

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    Wouldn't be getting a nickel off me haha This engine performs great. Always has. Putting the old prop back on brought the performance right back so I know it's prop related. Boat doesn't have a tach. But I can tell you the difference in rpm is considerably different when launching. With the...

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    Bought it new at local Marine store. It is a 13x19. Its crazy how that cup let's it hold onto the top end so well. Honestly gonna see about returning the prop. But if not. Venting Maybe? I feel if the prop could slip alittle when coming out of the hole It would help the engine out?

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    I'm fairly certain it's a 13x19. But it's possible I got the wrong prop. And the engine is a 1992. After straightening out that prop best I could I took it back out today and just like that the hole shot is back to being decent. But it definitely can't hold onto as high of top end without the...

    Original prop. I do think the solas has more cup. Where as this one doesn't seem to have much at all.

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    The new prop is a solas. Most affordable replacement at the local shop. The old prop is an OMC prop. No venting on the old prop. The solas is definitely a heavier made prop. Much thicker blades. So far as the contour, rake ,cup I'm not sure on those terms in reference to a prop

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    It definitely isn't the engine. It was running great that last time out. That didn't up and change after a prop.

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    That old prop was a factory OMC prop I doubt it had been reworked. But when I got the boat years ago it behaved kinda like this. Slow out of the hole usually requiring someone to sit on the front deck. That's when I installed the hydrofoil and that helped. It's a pretty good amount of bend...

    Replaced prop with the "same" spec prop. Loss of bottom end.

    So I've got a 16 ft javelin bass boat with a 70hp Johnson that I had a 13x19 prop on ever since I got the boat well at first you would have to have somebody sit on the front desk to get the thing to want to come out of the hole but it did fine on plane. Then put a hydrofoil on it and that seemed...

    Buddies gt150 done for?

    50:1. And yeah any scoring isn't good, but like I say it's very minimal. Didn't get a chance to get pics today due to work. He got this motor hopping to replace a Yamaha pro v150 that's just been a headache everytime it's touched. Kinda at a loss on that one. Runs great one trip. Barely...

    Buddies gt150 done for?

    So my buddy bought a boat and motor from one of his "buddies". He wanted just the outboard really. Well his buddy told him the last time the engine ran was back when the last time they had it out. We got the engine home and put the water horns on and we did it to run but it struggled to pee...

    40hp shearing flywheel keys?

    Well the one I found was at tractor supply. It fit snug in the crank and if anything it could have stuck out a tad more. But it all felt good going together other than my little paranoia about having over lapped it and that's why i felt alittle drag at first. But Honestly As long as that taper...

    40hp shearing flywheel keys?

    Any idea what the nut size and thread pitch is? I do have an update. Went all over looking for a good woodruff key today. Found one that actually fits the crank nice and snug. So I'm gonna trust it I guess and nobody seems to be able to get me the mercury key and id like to go out tomorrow...
