    Couple of 2022 Suzuki 9.9 HP DF9.9BES4 questions

    Howdy howdy. I mostly hide over on the Johnson side of the forum. But I have been looking at new outboards. This Suzuki caught my eye. I like the electric start, short shaft and the 9.9-15hp range. However the 15's in this combo seem sold out. A 9.9 will suit my needs fine, but would prefer a...

    Weak magnets on my OK-60

    Well, I went to do a test start on my project OK-60. I have spark, but not enough. It will kick, but not enough to fire. Some reason I have lost it. At 1/8 it is bright blue, more than that nothing. It had great spark before. Guessing flywheel magnets are weak. They are from 1932. Has anyone...

    1969 Evinrude 9.5hp

    Well took out the auction 9.5 Evinrude tonight. Runs great at above idle. It has a sneeze or cough if you turn it down low to troll slow. Low speed idle is super touchy. It will adjust, but when you turn idle down low (guessing below 1000 rpm) it will sneeze or cough kinda hard, sometimes die...

    Cleaning crankshaft splines without removing powerhead

    Found a 1969 9.5 Evinrude for $160.00, usd. Looks hardly used. Quick points clean, new water pump, L/U seals, spark plugs and T-stat. Fired up great! Have the "Marine Seafoam" in the gas now, hoping to do some de-carbing. Hope it don't monkey up the carb. Anyways, onto the rusty crank. I am the...

    2021 Tohatsu 4HP/5 HP Questions

    Hello to all. I have been mostly hanging out over on the Johnson/Evinrude side of the forum. But now I am considering a new Tohatsu 4HP or 5HP short shaft. I would go 6hp, but the flat back canoe it would go on is a 5hp max rated, and the DNR up here can get picky sometimes. That being said...

    69 6HP Johnson broken tiller handle

    Well this one was on me. Saw a rock coming up quick. Killed the engine. Pushed down on the tiller handle, and snap! Made it through the rest of the weekend, caught some fish and ate well. I managed to patch it up pretty well having access to a TIG welder. Lesson learned, kill engine then grab...

    1959 Evinrude 3hp Lightwin

    Hello, I am repairing an nice 59 Evinrude 3hp. My dad had it and had complained of low power-not revving up fully. He bought it from a roadside sale. I know it was just a poorly tuned carb, but it had too many tell tale signs of it being tinkered with. I decided to pull it down to just the short...

    Another 9.9 to 15 question, (sorry not again)

    Hello to all. First time poster, long time lurker. I am looking at doing a 15hp upgrade to my 1975 Johnson 9.9 short shaft. I have a few questions. First, I have been researching this awhile now, most parts I can find. The carb is looking to be difficult to find. I happen to have a second 9.9...
