1963 3hp evinrude lightwin made in belgium.help,please!!!

[F_R]

Hi F-R did you ever check out the brass screen size? if 100 x 100 is too fine,how about 60 x 60? the holes are .009 1/3 larger than 100 x100. would that size do? knocked out the stuck filter as per your suggestion on an old post of yours thank you for all your help!!

I am currently using 80 x 80 mesh, .0055 wire size, .007" opening size. mcmaster.com part number 9223T91 $7.86 for a 12" x 12" sheet. Works for me. Your mileage may vary.

Hi everyone!! put a new filter in the 3hp evinrude,had it running for 20 mins to day ,seems to be just fine but I need the same solution for my 52/53 Johnson jw-10. it runs for a while then dies,after a bit I can restart it seems like a fuel delivery problem. question? how do I put an in-line filter on a 3/16 copper pipe? I've seen clear 3/16 fuel line on the internet, also small see-through inline filters. how do I connect the fuel to the copper pipe? are there special clamps for that? help me out there,please!! I've never done anything like that.any suggestions are welcome,the more the better. thanks in advance also will any small filter do or does it have a special one?

Okay, you need to get either rubber fuel hose, or the clear stuff that you mentioned, it needs to be the same diameter inside, as the outside diameter of the metal fuel line. One quarter inch or 6 mm would be best. A small in line filter that has the same sizes on the barb fittings on either side is needed as well, the flexible tubing will go over these fittings,l. Install about 1 1/2 inches of this line on both sides of the filter using a Jubilee Clamp of appropriate size. then measure the length of the filter, take about 1 1/4 inches off this measurement and cut out that much of the fuel line with a tubing cutter. this will give you 5/8 inch on each side to overlap the tube at the gap that is created in the metal tube. if you can have more flexible tubing over the metal it would be even better. You need 2 more Jubilee Clamps. Loosen each clamp and put it on the metal tube on each side of the gap where the filter is going to be placed. Then install the fuel filter by pulling the flexible hose evenly over the metal tube on both sides of the filter. Bring each Jubilee Clamp over close to the end of the flexible hose and tighten both of them.

You can put more hose if you like and cut a longer piece out of the metal tube, just be sure you have enough flexible tubing to bridge the gap with enough going over each end to clamp it. You may also need to look at the filter and see if it has a direction of flow. Some have an arrow on them which is directed toward the Carburator. When you purchase it, ask the folks who sell it to you about this. The filter that is on my 2 HP Johnson is about 3/4 of an inch thick, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, made with a plastic case. You should be able to find one where they sell lawnmower parts, or parts for small equipment.

Jubilee Clamps are the small metal type that have a worm screw to tighten them. You may also be able to use nylon tie wraps.

You may be able to change the fitting at the gas cap and the Carburator to one that will take the flexible hose and do away with the metal tube altogether.

. I believe the Rubber Type Fuel Hose would be better than the clear plastic, but that is just my opinion.

Hope this is useful to you

Hi,Bonaventure! thanks for the detailed instructions,i think I can handle it.need to get all of the materials ,maybe I can get them locally. we have a lawnmower repair shop close by,never knew what those little clamps were called.love it when you come up with a solution that works really well that was actually intended for a different application and you can save money too.today got a 7/16 s.s. nut for $1.50 which i'm gonna drill some holes into and use as a propeller nut.propeller nut costs about $40.so does a in-tank filter if you can find the proper one. thank you again!!

No problem, hope you can get it running. You should probably look at replacing the water pump impeller. This is a $25 or so part. You also may be able to find a repair manual at a library. There are some that cover several models of Johnson/Evinrude motors. Also, look around for second hand parts like carburators etc.

BI am doing some work on my 1978 Johnson 2 hp. Best wishes.

hi everyone!! I thought I was ok with my motor but sometimes things just happen!! motor was just fine when I left on my fishing trip,then disaster struck !!! when I opened my camper shell motor and stand had fallen on its side.the motor started all right but at a slower speed even at the starting position,when I pushed the control lever to fast speed increased only slightly but motor wanted to die .could only keep it going by pulling on the choke and immediately pushing it back in. so for about 10 days I I had the control at the starting position which pushed my 8 foot pram at about rowing speed minus the work.could not see anything obviously wrong.any ideas at all,anybody?? YOU HAVE ALL BEEN VERY HELPFULL TO GET THIS MOTOR RUNNING,THANK YOU AGAIN!! I WOULD HATE TO START FROM SCRATCH. WHAT SHOULD I BE LOOKING AT FIRST???

need help again!!! had the motor running just fine when I left on my fishing trip, upon arrival,however,motorand stand had been knocked over.motor started all right but ran much slower than normal at the starting position.when I pushed the control to fast it only ran slightly faster than at starting position and wanted to die.could only keep it going by pulling out choke and immediately pushing it back in about every 10 seconds . so for 10 days the motor pushed my little 8' pram at about the speed of a leisurely row,minus the work.any idea what could have gone wrong?? I have urly
