    starting 225 etec on land

    Hey guys. I want to start my 07 225 etec on land. To be clear I have not run this motor yet. The usual ports for using earmuffs look inadequate. If I cover the 6 drain holes at the front of the lower, will enough water circulate with my garden hose and earmuffs?

    235 evinrude year

    I have an Evinrude 235 with a Johnson cover. I tried looking up the year on the chart. My model # is E235TRXC. The serial # is J0001671. I think it is a 1980 because of the C. The #s I looked at have an additional digit after the C, which would mean 81,82,or 83. The tilt trim is 2 wire. Can...

    225 Evinrude separated drive shaft

    I pulled the carrier and backed off the pinion nut. Using the omc tool as the service manual instructs to pull the drive shaft. Instead of the pinion gear popping off, the upper drive shaft pulled out. Can I just slip it back in, or does it have to go deeper? If so can I drive it back in...

    94 225 evinrude spark problem

    The engine has been running well. This morning, it wouldn't start. I checked fuel and battery. They were good, so I pulled a plug and it had no spark. I proceeded to check the rest. I got spark on two on the port side and one on the left. Neither bottom plugs had spark. I had a similar problem...

    no start

    Hi guys. Happy Fathers Day. I was hooking up a tach on my 94 225 Ocean Pro. I had a couple, and I twisted tach wire connections onto the harness ring connectors.(black-,grey-pulse,,purple+). Neither worked, but I may have allowed +and- to touch while the engine was running. I had started and...

    identify unknown rotation

    I am trying to identify a lower unit as to rotation. When I pull up the shift shaft the prop shaft and the drive shaft both turn clockwise. Is this a standard rotation lower?

    identifying counter rotational lower unit

    Hey guys, I bought a lower unit for my 225 ocean pro. It had milky white oil so I pulled the carrier and I have a 2 part prop shaft. The only mention for a 2 part prop shaft in the manual is for counter rotation. Is this correct or do 94 ocean pros have this with a standard rotation lower...

    harness compatability

    Could a control and harness from an older v4 Evinrude be used to test a 1994 225 ocean pro with a supposed 2000 power head? The red connector seems to match.The motor does not have a vro pump. I bought it for the lower unit for my ocean pro. The seller told me it ran well before he stored it in...

    1998 115 ficht no spark

    I have a 98 115 Ficht. It cranks well but I get no spark. To make it crank I bypassed the neutral safety switch and the emergency cutoff switch. I used a start button on the solenoid. I plugged all the rest of the connectors into the harness and turned the key on. One triangular connector on...

It takes a very long time to go down and it has the banging condition I saw discussed in a thread in this forum, Going up is also slow at first, and then operates normally. After filling the reservoir I am going to disconnect the...

    1994 225 Johnson Ocean Pro

    When my 225 wouldn't start, I checked for spark. I had spark on 3 positions. When I moved the non- working coils to the positions which did work, they produced spark. I bought a used power pack and the only change was to lose spark on one. Does anyone have any suggestions before I let a shop...

    indexing spark plugs

    Having read many opinions, I am not sure whether indexing the plugs on my 94 225 ocean pro is a good idea. One mechanic said there is a loss of compression which pretty much cancels out the gain. What do you guys think?
