    Has anyone done this before?

    Thanks Racerone! Definitely going to do what you say.(y) Your experience has reassured me and it's a two stroke motor with no valves (if that's an actual issue with 4 stroke motors as some have said when I did my own searching). Cheers.

    Has anyone done this before?

    Thanks Edchrist, some good advice there and I'm going to take such precautions in the future as it did fly off much to my surprise. I have an Aerpro inspection camera and I turned the flywheel to BDC but I struggled to locate it even though it definitely flew in. Frustrated, I rotated the...

    Has anyone done this before?

    Hi, I was spraying the cylinders on my V4 Johnson with Sta-Bil fogging oil which I have done numerous times before but on this occasion the spray tube on the end of the can nozzle blew off, straight into one of the cylinders. Tried to fish it out with a flexible grabbing tool but no go at all...

    Question on alternative gearcase oil seals for the more experienced

    Hi all I have a 1992 Johnson 25hp where the lower front rubber mount has come apart from one of the plates, as pictured. Part number is 0321469 but is now obsolete.

    15hp block repair, Engine shop drilled right through cylinder head bolt holes

    Hi all, I removed a 1978 powerhead with two broken head bolts and took it to an Engine rebuild shop. They removed them and inserted helicoils but in the process drilled right through to the other side. Well I didn't expect that! When looking at the engine from the back, where the head is, the...

    Evinrude 9.9hp sideways wobble

    Hi, my 1979 Evinrude 9.9hp short shaft has some sideways wobble of the steering & transom bracket that connects to the exhaust housing but no obvious forward or aft movement. I've been reading that when the upper/lower motor mounts in the exhaust housing fail you will get obvious play in the...

    Swivel Adjustment Screw on 70s and early 80s 9.9 and 15hp

    Hi all, just wanted to check with on this earlier model style swivel adjustment screw on the 9.9 and 15hp motors. This is second one that is totally stuck and the motor needs tensioning as it turns too freely. I'm wary to use an impact screw driver on it as it way well break. Any tips as seems...

    9.5hp brass float arm holder question

    Hi all, to those familiar with the 9.5hp bubble motor, I wanted to ask about the carby on our 1966 sportwin. I overhauled it with a new kit as the original float and needle needed replacing. When I pulled it apart I noticed the brass holder of the float arm where the pivot pin goes through has...

    Advice on 1969 Evinrude 4Hp

    I managed to get a head gasket and thought to replace it as a last resort, in the hope that it may improve my low comps and hard starting. Well as I tried to pull start it to get comp readings, my starter recoil gave way and I thought it was the spring. I pulled it apart and to my surprise the...

    Advice on 1969 Evinrude 4Hp

    Hi all, I picked up a 4hp lightwin in great condition for its age without doing a compression test or running it before buying (got deceived by the look of this and got the better of me). Anyway, to my surprise bot the cylinders showed 45-50max psi and my gauge is good. I used both standard hose...

    !5hp metal carby has wrong orifice size

    Hi guys, I now have an all metal 15Hp carby in reasonable condition but what I didn't expect is the orifice size says '45' on it. When i look on parts here, the 45 is for 9.9hp and the 15hp takes the 56 orifice size. On this 15hp the plug screws to the side of the shaft leading to the carby...
