    1975 70hp model 70573E.....more problems.

    Well, the new starter (9 tooth ARCO) works wonderfully....now I'm being plagued with another problem...once it fires up, it only wants to run on one, sometimes two cylinders and it seems to not matter which one.....(or two) seeing as how I pulled the plug wires one at a time....the last time...

    1975 70hp model 70573E Starter questions???

    In looking at the various starters that are supposedly replacements for my old Prestolite 4110, I'm not seeing any of them that have the same 10 tooth drive gear as mine....is a 9 tooth ok? I'm also wondering if there are any mounting differences between say a Bosch and the Prestolite (both...

    A few electric starter questions....1976 70 hp

    It's kind of funny....in a sick way... After I finally got my ignition system figured out, parts ordered and installed, I went to test run the engine, and all I could get was a clicking of the solenoid switch....I took the starter semi apart and cleaned it up (lots of dried gunk and...

    I need help...I don't have a "Mercotronic" or "Stevens" tester.....

    If I did have one, or could find one, I wouldn't be posting this question....it beats the hell out of me why the written instructions for the 70's motors rely on particular "models" of "testers" when it comes to troubleshooting electrical ignition problems in these early motors.....I looked "on...

    2004 50 HP EFI 4 stroke question

    A friend tried starting his boat yesterday after sitting for several years....he called me over and I'm not sure exactly how this system works...is there a way to bleed the fuel system? My first instinct was to unclip the fuel line where it connects to the injector (distribution??)TFI block...

    Carb cleaning???

    I'm not holding out much hope, but does anybody have a special brew they use??? I'm finding the new environmentally friendly concoctions aren't as good as the "old school" types we used to use...Suggestions??? It's for my 1972 Evinrude.

    Spak Plug question...

    My old motor (1972 50 hp Lark) service manual lists 2 different spark plugs (both flat, surface gap type) as OEM replacement plugs....when I replaced the plugs that were in the motor, I replaced them with regular type adjustable gap plugs of the same number that I took out (they are cross...
