Nice clean little motor runs good, came with 14 foot Aluminum V-hull I bought this week. Been painted all over including Identification Plate (if there even IS a plate). It is water cooled (a Previous Owner modified where the Telltale Stream exits the Cover.
Anybody able to ID this so I can...
Thanks Crosbyman, good idea on the CrazyGlue after cleaning. If the Pin slipped into its Base then that is likely to happen again unless preventive action is taken. Makes me wonder if the factory used some adhesive which eventually dissolved...
Update: I bent the Tab as far as it would go until the Tab interfered with the plastic base of Fuel Hose Connector, thereby preventing latching via a different problem (see first photo). Laying to two parts side-by-side (see second photo although a bit hard to see) I could clearly see that the...
Crosbyman, thanks but I tried bending the Tab out a bit already. Didn't work...I may be able to bend it out some more but then this may result in incorrect tension/coupling with my other motors. I will update after I try another bend on the Tab and/or filing the plastic base on opposite part...
On my 1998 8hp E8RECR I can no longer attach Fuel Hose Connector 775640 (#13 on Fuel Tank diagram) to the Fuel Connector Assembly 438793 (#15 on Lower Cover diagram. Problem is the 2 parts won't latch together --they slip apart when Fuel Line is pressurized. Two different Fuel Tanks don't...
Thanks to all for clarifying how to remove this eyelet and that the eyelet is in fact swaged into place. How would I swage a new eyelet into position without a special tool?I am thinking a very large C-clamp with a tapered or rounded "mini-anvil" on the inside of the Lower Cover.
Also I did...
On my 1985 E6RCOB 6HP this Eyelet p/n 312979 has worn a slot (by previous owners) in what is supposed to be a round eyelet. Diagrams show this as a single part but installed the eyelet appears to be either swaged/flared on the "inward side" or else it's a 2-piece part. I can buy a new Eyelet...
Update: I switched the Spark Plug Lead Assemblies. The problem remained at the Lower Cylinder, problem did not "follow the wire".
So next step is to check the Ignition Coil Assembly p/n 583740 with an Ohmeter, correct? What readings should I get? Also is it common for a Coil to fail just...
In an earlier thread I described work (Head Gasket/Thermostat) I did on my Evinrude E8RECR trying to resolve a Plug Fouling (and running poorly) condition. In frustration I set this project aside for 6 months or so.
Taking a fresh look at the problem first I rechecked Compression--using my...
I need to test whether the Vernatherm on my 1998 8hp Evinrude E8RECR is working properly as part of diagnosing engine running poorly (fouling upper cylinder). There are 2 parts on the Vernatherm: the main body and a small cylinder/pin that slides into the main body. The cylinder/pin has one end...
Update: my new Head Gasket, Thermostat Cover Seal and Fuel Pump Diaphragm arrived yesterday. A couple questions for proper reAssembly: 1) when I last replaced the Thermostat in Feb 2020 there was a problem whereby the #22 Thermostat Cover Seal 336947 popped out of the groove/channel where it...
Forgot to mention I did inspect the Fuel Pump Diaphragm, no punctures and diaphragm seems flexible. Some photos attached, dental pick is pointing to dent in gasket in one photo.
