    Two holes below the cowling

    Yes Really racer! Years ago when you first came on Marine Engines site, you were loaded with sarcastic, snide, insulting remarks, casting such wording around to other members helpful replies as "Pure Rubbish" just to state one. I see that you haven changed. You just can't help yourself can you...

    Two holes below the cowling

    That's alright little man... someday daddy might teach you how to read. My writeup is self explanatory. Here, let me explain it to you...... one short paragraph states "The red hot exhaust travels down thru that inner tube and out the propeller with a somewhat supply of water to cool the...

    dirt in manifold

    I've done that more than once..... Usually it blows out with no problem all by itself, however, when in doubt... remove the thermostats temporarily and give it a run for 20 or 30 minutes at various rpms, then replace the thermostats as they're there to have the distortion of the cylinder sleeves...

    Adding an overheat alarm for Johnson/Evinrude

    What was used in the past and is still available via your local marine dealership is a heat gauge kit consisting of a gauge, wiring, a heat sensor, and a "L" shaped bracket that attaches to one of the head bolts via a hole in one end of the "L" bracket. The sensor screws into the "L" shaped...

    Leaving (Off Topic)

    I left here once back on March 13 of 2018 due to a medical problem that I found later could be corrected (and was) so I came back. However, although I feel like I'm somewhere between 38 & 43 years of age, I'm well aware that I'm 2 years & 9 months short of being 90, and as such, retiring in...

    86 Evinrude 40hp won’t idle

    The high speed jet ID is a specific size. The slightest degree of fouling, gumming, gunk, clogging that jet of which fuel must freely pass thru before it gains passage to any other fuel passage will result in the explanation you state. Tell your dad to carefully clean those high speed jets in...

    Carb adjustment or sync

    Unless you or someone else have been tinkering with the linkages... it is more likely that the brass high speed jet that is located horizontally in the bottom center portion of the float chamber, way behind the float chamber drain screw plug, is fouled due to age ,sitting, etc. Clean the ID of...

    1965 Evinrude 3hp confusion about the high speed needle

    Quote edited to keep it simple. 1 - No, we prefer to call it by its proper name to avoid confusion "High Speed Jet" although it is an orifice. 2 - The high speed jet came into being in 1961 and was incorporated into the 3hp models in 1963. This arrangement/system has been around a very long...

    73 evinrude 135 possible jetting issue?

    There is one brass high speed jet located behind each of the drain screw plugs of the carburetors (4 in all), and the slightest restriction of any of them will result in what you're describing. Clean them carefully with a piece of single strand steel wire. They have 14x20 threads and can be...

    mid 80's johnson 28hp spl shearing fly wheel keys

    As per "flyingscott's" reply, in not so many words.... wire brushing does nothing. The tapers must be reworked and perfect, otherwise all you're torquing are the high bumps. Besides the lapping process with valve grinding compound, depending on the taper damage... you may need to carefully do...

    81 90hp tilt unit wiring

    Changing over to the relay system involves the complete relay wiring system as well as the two wire electric motor. That's a lot of work and quite a bit of $$$$.... really not worth the effort. Here's the easy to understand PTT wiring diagram for what you have.

    Johnson 60 1995 boogs down on throtle

    Crankcase vacuum does not play any part in getting fuel to the cylinders. That is accomplished by the pistons downward travel "Crankcase Pressure" forcing the fuel mixture out of the crankcase area and up to the intake port area. The problem you describe is most normally due to a servicing...
