    Does this look like water in the oil? 76' 70HP Evinrude

    OK an update and one question. It ended up being a 4th of July project instead of winter. It was a perfect day for it as there are no mosquitos no wind etc., and my son was around to help. I have it 95% finished. I should get some threaded rods tomorrow to help reinstall the bearing...

    Does this look like water in the oil? 76' 70HP Evinrude

    I have only had it out 4 times and run maybe 12 gallons of fuel through it. I had no issues on the water with shifting. On the level of difficulty (1-10), how hard is a lower reseal? I have done a couple of smaller engines before, but not a big one. I am used to seeing black and clearish...

    1976 70 hp spark issue

    Me too. That link and sync was more important than I ever realized. I got fooled because I did over a 73' 65HP many years ago and never had issues and did not do a link and sync. Just got lucky. These guys (and $600 in parts) helped get my 76' 70HP running. Had it out yesterday as a...

    Thermostat and the exhaust relief on mid 70's 3 cylinders?

    I am questioning my recently rehabbed 76' 70HP Evinrude. Everything seems fine except possibly the thermostat. I am used to seeing the exhaust relief ports having water coming out, then not coming out on a regular repeating basis. Every 10 seconds of so. I thought this was an indication...

    1976 70HP Evinrude Boat Test

    Thanks for all your help getting this far. Boat tested yesterday. Started easily. Going into gear was OK but at about 1500 RPMs it wanted to die. I was able to finally feather it up and get to WOT. I was over 5500 but able to dial that down easily. I was able to get to WOT 3-4 times, for...

    76 70HP water pump question

    OK, got it mounted to the boat. Got it all adjusted and idling nice and low. One question. Is this normal for water to be coming out of this area (red circle)? I don't remember this on my 73' 65HP. It was flowing out both sides. It was also coming out in the two places it was supposed to...

    76 70HP water pump question

    These things crossed out were not on the original unit. Just design changes I assume. Jim

    76 70HP water pump question

    See picture. I just want to make sure the impeller fins are the right way. The drawing on my fixture was opposite, but I didn't write down if it was top view or bottom view. All OMCs are the same correct? Paper gasket first (with gasket sealer) Metal plate next Then housing with o-ring...

    Parts or fix? J8REOD 1995 8HP Johnson

    I have has this for 6-8 years and no issues. Son had it out and said it felt like it hit something. Engine revved up and no water suddenly coming out the telltale. Popped the lower today and it appears the splines in the drive shaft are well ground down. I would have to assume the crank shaft...

    Fuel line T for 76' 75HP Evinrude

    I just broke the plastic "T" on the carburetor fuel lines. It does not show on any of the drawings. I assume I could just get a 5/32" brass one at the auto parts store? Thanks Jim

    General head gasket question

    I have this 75' 9.9 HP Evinrude. Been using in a salty area for about 6-7 years. My son had it out the for the second time this year, 14' boat loaded with teenagers (all girls too). Stopped on an island to grab something and couldn't restart. Finally got it restarted and made it back. My...

    1973 65HP Control box/cables issue

    I replaced the cables two years ago. All was well or so I thought. Basically the warm lift does not go all the way down. I have plenty of travel. It is then forced down when I put it into gear, torquing on the screw that anchors it. I damaged the screw a little but was able to fix it. Is...

    1975 9.9 Gear case reseal issues

    I am trying to do a complete reseal on this 75' 9.9 15" Evinrude. I have everything out except the shift shaft o-ring washer and bushing. I made a slide hammer, hit it with freeze spray, strapped it to a large trailer and tried to use a ratcheting strap to pull it out. This thing won't move...
