    warning horn not working. Why so expensive?

    So what magical components are inside the warning horn module that make it cost $100? The piezo buzzer is a $2 component from any electronics supplier. The OMC one has 3 terminals. Ground, +12v feed from the ignition key and an alarm signal. My understanding is that it should emit a single...

    Evinrude 140hp 2 stroke V4 VRO circa 1980? Starts but won't run!

    Success! Thanks for all the suggestions! Take a look at what came out of the float bowls! Old oil from the fuel lines and VRO I guess. Now it starts on the button and runs for as long as my neighbours can stand it! I have no idea if this motor is running right, it was 6 years since it...

    Evinrude 140hp 2 stroke V4 VRO circa 1980? Starts but won't run!

    Had a quick look in the air box. It all looks very clean and tidy in there. In fact it looks brand new. There is a LOT of 2 stroke oil in there though. I had a quick check of the float bowl drains and all had oil in. So I am thinking that I just need to drain this all off and get some clean...

    Evinrude 140hp 2 stroke V4 VRO circa 1980? Starts but won't run!

    I will attempt to verify exact model. This motor has been sat a long time. The cooling system is now ok. It's got fresh fuel going in, which already has 2 stroke oil in. It's a VRO engine so it will be adding its own too. It fires on the button but seems to only run a couple of seconds. I...

    Rebuilding an old Evinrude 140 V4 VRO. No water at tell tale.

    Refurbing a 140hp V4 VRO that has sat a LONG time. Finally got the gearcase off to put in a new water pump. Thought I'd test the water circuit, so I put a hosepipe direct onto the water tube, while the gearcase is off. No water seen at tell tale. Water is coming out of a hole next to where...

    replacement coil mercuy 339-5288

    Well sort of, yes. The orange coils have an isolated secondary coil, so one end goes to the plug, the other comes out on a bit of wire which contacts the core and then earths to the engine. The primary winding -ve is not connected to earth. It goes back to the switch box. One the new coil...

    replacement coil mercuy 339-5288

    Further to my post of my 9.8 power issues, I was looking for a new coil, part 339-5288. I found that here in the UK, I could get s CDI Electronics 184-0001 which looks identical. It has the same primary coil resistance. BUT it appear the the primary and secondary coils are connected...

    1980's 9.8hp low on power

    I have recently got hold of a 1980's 9.8hp, in very nice condition. It starts fine, runs fine but out on the water it will only make about 5-8knots on my 3.6m inflatable - it actually performs slightly worse than my 2.5hp 4 stroke! It looks like it has never been dismantled as the bolts on the...

    Date of manufacture for 2.5hp Yam 4 stroke. French made

    Just trying to work out the date of manufacture for a 2.5hp yam 4 stroke. Label says F25AMH 69M L with an F in the lower right corner. I did read that F was 2010 but this may be only Asian made motors? Cheers!

    Extracting an impeller from a Merc 9.8 2 stroke

    I am having trouble getting the old impeller out of a 1985 merc 9.8 2 stroke. AFAIKT it should just slide up the driveshaft. I tried prying with 2 screwdrivers, it moves about 1/2 an inch then stops. Do I just use brute force or am I missing something? I guess it's fouling on the key? Cheers!

    Small Penta/volvo outboard?

    I have acquired a small blue air cooled outboard. I did a search on one the part codes on one of the castings and found that it's probably a volvo-penta engine. There is no name plate or serial number to be found. See pic. Anyone know what it is and if there are any manuals anywhere?
