    1999 175, fuel starved?

    1999 Evinrude Ficht 175. Starts and runs (low speed) okay. If throttle is advanced to about the point the boat would plane (no tach so don't know RPM) it won't go faster, surges a bit but never really gets going. If you squeeze the bulb it goes fine. Sometimes it keeps going, sometimes you...

    Distributed For 270

    Don’t think it is the problem but have tried everything else I can think of, so am thinking of replacing the distributor. (See other post, runs for while) I have twin 1984 Crusader 270s. Points were replaced previously with electronic. Both distributors are Mallory, but different models...

    Turning key kills power

    I haven't figured out why my starboard engine dies after a while but now the port is acting up. Background (which may or may not hold a clue): When I went to winterize in 2019 it was running fine until, after shutting it off for five minutes I couldn't restart it. Seemed to be a spark...

    Runs fine, for a while, then fades/quits

    1984 Crusader 270 (but put in rebuilt long blocks about 6 years ago). Converted to electronic ignition. Boat sat on hard during 2016, 2017 and 2018 (but started and ran for a bit in 2018). Started okay and ran fine in yard (2019). Launched (late July, 2019), started fine, drove across harbor...

    Stalls repeatedly when cold

    1984 Crusader 270. Some of this is memory from several years ago so may not be 100% accurate. In 2015 I was getting the boat ready to launch. I had trouble starting one motor, when cold. If I played with it long enough, restarting, playing with choke, etc., it would stay running. I figured...

    Dry exhaust

    I am trying to work out a cooling problem on a raw water cooled Crusader 270. Will it cause any problems (to elbows, hoses, muffler...) if I divert the raw water coming out of the heat exchanger into the bilge so just the exhaust gases are going into the exhaust system? Thanks.

    Overheating problem

    I can't get the pictures I took (with an ipad) for this to post, so am trying some old ones I took with a camera. If posting them works I will take new ones (more specific to the thermostat and cooling system) with the camera and post them. These are shots I took of the old motor when I was...

    Overheating problem

    I just put in a reman long block and it is running hot. It is a 1984, Crusader 270 (GM 350 block). Freshwater cooled. It runs around 160 at an idle, with or without the thermostat in. (It is now out) The faster you go, the hotter it gets, but it takes a couple of minutes to get up to around...
