Re: exhaust plate stopping outboard from starting?
what i mean by exhaust plate is the plate behind the exhaust cover heres a pic and the outboard is a 1955 evinrude 7.5 hp.the plate has about 5 pin holes in it and i was wondering if that could stop it from starting
Re: exhaust plate stopping outboard from starting?
The holes can cause overheating or if in the right place to let water in a port poor preformance but as far as starting there is no water there intill the engine starts and pumps the cover full of water so I don't think thats the problem
