    1991 Evinrude 9.9 carb swap

    I have a 9.9 Evinrude carb from a 74 or 75 model year (had breaker point ignition). Is that a direct replacement for the carb on a 91 Evinrude 9.9 in all respects such as choke position, the choke "guide" L shaped piece on top of the carb, cam roller mounting position, use the same cam roller...

    4hp Shifting Issue

    Got time to work on this today. Racerone was absolutely correct. I strongly suspect that the shift shaft was not "clocked" correctly, even though I can't confirm it. Pulled pump housing just to check. Impellor seemed intact and flexible. Owner says it was replaced a while back. Greased...

    4hp Shifting Issue

    I'm new to the Mercury products here so please be patient. I do tinker with the Evinrude / Johnson small hp products. An older gentleman presented me with a problem. He has an older 4hp single cylinder serial 3766406. I did a search and believe it to be 1974. He says it won't shift into...

    Evinrude 15hp fuel pump rebuild - Chinese core?

    Gents, I have a 1988 Evinrude 15hp. Someone previously had installed a Chinese knock-off fuel pump on the motor. Cold, it would start / run fine. Run across the lake. After shut-down / fishing, restart would be a little tougher. third and fourth restart got progressively tougher. Upon...

    15hp doesn't get past partial rpm

    I'm working on a 9.9hp Evinrude for a friend, 1990 vintage I believe. Model plate is missing but very similar paint and decals as pictures identified as 1990. I didn't hear it run before he brought it over so was going just on his description of the symptoms. Sounded truly like a fuel...

    1990 15hp Evinrude Airbox Seal

    Gents, I'm doing a carb clean and rebuild on a neglected 15hp. I'll just say that the inside of the carb was definitely in need of cleaning. When removing the airbox, the seal fell to the bottom of the compartment. How is this attached? This is the horseshoe shaped piece of rubber that goes...

    1988 15hp - 2 different carbs listed

    Continuing my process of reviving a neglected 15hp. E15RCCS - I ordered a carb gasket / rebuild kit. Upon receipt it just didn't seem complete. I now see there are two different carbs listed for this year. The carb I thought I had was 397722 with rebuilt kit 0398453. I can now see I have...

    Shorting Switch wiring and recoil stud thread size

    I'm working on a neglected 15hp 1988 E15RCCS. Replacing the fuel pump and cleaning up the carb. Could get it to fire but not continue. Clearly fuel related. In addition, I found the wiring to the shorting switch to be burned (high temp next to block, not fire) and wires are bare and heat...

    Hello All. In the continuing journey on my 15HP Evinrude - 1982 - J15RCNC, I've replaced the water pump, prop shaft seals, gear case oil and spark plugs. Fired it up for the first time (for me) yesterday. After some serious adjustments to the throttle roller and mixture, gut it running fairly...
