    1990 Evinrude 120HP - Running VERY rough

    Hello; Been a while since I've been on this forum. I have a 1990 Evinrude 120HP looper. It has been very well maintained, but has a lot of hours. Fresh water exclusively in last 12 years. It was running great when parked 2 weeks ago, right after it was tuned-up with new plugs, water-pump...

    "I am running dual OX66 250HP "I am running dual OX66 250HP engines (1999). I have a spare 2001 225HP in great shape. If I ever needed to, could I convert the 225 into a 250HP? What makes it different (bore/stroke, electronic, exhaust, injectors?)"

    OX66 Head Gasket Question

    "My new gasket is smooth on on "My new gasket is smooth on one side, dimpled with sealing lines on the other. Smooth side has a wider metal fire-ring. Which side towards block? Does it matter, and why? (My guess is smooth side towards block). I have a repair manual, but it does not say."

    OX66 Sudden increase in oil and fuel consumption

    "I am running twin OX66 250HP "I am running twin OX66 250HP (1999) motors. I've only had this boat for a few weeks. On the first trip, it appeared that the starboard engine used more oil than the port. I wasn't positive, thought maybe tank wasn't full to start. Second trip, oil consumption...
