    1984 Evinrude Link and Sync issues

    Hello All, Model # E25RLCRD. I purchased this motor for cheap last year and have so far replaced all the fuel lines, rebuilt the fuel pump and carb, replaced the thermostat, cleaned inside the hood/cowlings and rebuild the lower unit with all new seals, water pump and a new-to-me prop shaft. It...

    quick carb question on 1969 4hp

    Hi All, I bought a carb rebuit kit for the stated motor, yet can't seem to determine what is the order of assembly for the packing seals on the high and low speed needle valves. The kit came with 2 plastic and 4 non-plastic (possible rubber) o-rings for these areas and the carb schematic shows 2...

    4hp problems

    So last weekend, I finally got to test out the 4hp (4w69b) that I bought for cheap on a 12 foot aluminum. I've got a few questions though. 1) I bought a used recoil for it, and it doesn't seem to rewind very fast. Is this just an worn out spring, or could it be greased too heavy? What grease...

    spark plug threads

    Hi all, I recently replaced the cylinder head on my 1969 4HP (#4w69b) because the threads were completely stripped on the upper cylinder hole. The new(er) head (from a 74) went on great, although the engine didn't run that well. I've determined that again on the upper cylinder hole, there is air...

    4hp, water outlet and spark plug wire

    Hi all, I picked up a 1969 4hp for cheap and installed a new (used) cylinder head as the spark plug threads were gone on the old one. I put some new fuel through it and it fired right up. I let it idle pretty low for a few minutes and it seemed to run fine. My questions are: 1. Where is the...

    Dunked Engine 1990 15 hp

    I installed the new recoil spring (my life flashed before my eyes several times) as well as a new rope. It recoils great now. I removed the carburetor and disconnected it from the fuel pump to get the float bowl off and all the old gas out. I reconnected it to hose from the pump and primed the...

    Dunked Engine 1990 15 hp

    In an attempt to remove the carburetor to get any water or moisture out of it, I managed to break the carb cover (#25) at the location where the throttle roller linkage rod (#11) screws in. This then left the throttle handle useless. There wasn't a screw on the front of the carb bowl, so I just...

    Dunked Engine 1990 15 hp

    Hi All, my 1990 15hp outboard fell into the water this weekend. It was only under for 5 seconds before I managed to pull it out. I got it home, removed the pugs and pulled it a few times, inserted the plugs, choked it and it started right up. It almost seemed too easy... Is there anything else...

    Impeller & water pump question 1990 15 hp

    Re: Impeller & water pump question I purchased a new johnson/evinrude impeller for a 1990 15hp and when I got home I realized that the diameter of it is much larger than the inside face of the water pump housing. Is it suppose to be this tight of a fit that the impeller blades bend over (see...

    Impeller & water pump question 1990 15 hp

    Hi all, I'm new to the forums as I just picked up a 1990 15hp short shaft. It starts and runs great, however isn't peeing water from the outlet port. I've just got a few questions I hope you all can answer. I dropped the lower unit to remove the water pump and everything seemed fine. The...
