    1991 Evinrude 25 HP - tell-tale stream not that important?

    It is a E25TELEIE 2-stroke. There is little to no water coming out of the small rubber hose on the starboard side of the engine in back. The water pump has been replaced recently and there is plenty of spray coming out of the mid-section in back. There is no indication that the engine is...

    1991 25 HP something is holding the shift movement back (forward and reverse)

    Thank you! I (incorrectly) assumed the motor would go into forward at any time. The only other engines I've worked on with a F-N-R are the small 2-stroke Mercury's from the late 1990's. The local dealer was correct about the control going bad. All is good now! You learn something new every...

    1991 25 HP something is holding the shift movement back (forward and reverse)

    Well, I decided to fire up the engine and see how it shifts. Seems with the engine running, it is shifting easily...forward and reverse. I'm aware that with the engine stopped, it can be difficult to go into reverse. A little turn of the crankshaft usually does it. Why it wasn't going into...

    1991 25 HP something is holding the shift movement back (forward and reverse)

    When I remove the shift cable from the engine, all is well at the remote control. That suggests the problem is with the engine. The fact that there is trouble with going into FORWARD AND REVERSE suggests that the shift rod is too long. I guess it is possible I put the keeper on upside...

    1991 25 HP something is holding the shift movement back (forward and reverse)

    top. The problem is very similar in forward and reverse. With the control in neutral, the engine is right at neutral. It is a lot like the shift lever is too short. If it were longer, it might allow a little more travel. Is it possible the wrong shift lever is installed? Are there different...

    1991 25 HP something is holding the shift movement back (forward and reverse)

    I believe it is. When I tightened the coupler, I held the bottom in place while tightening the

    1991 25 HP something is holding the shift movement back (forward and reverse)

    The club inherited this E25TELEIE quite some time ago. It was converted to a remote control and steering wheel before we got it. The engine is running perfectly in forward and reverse at any throttle opening. It has always been somewhat difficult to shift into forward and reverse but after...

    Yamaha 2.5HP 4-stroke stalls randomly

    The sailing club has 4 late-model Yamaha dinghy motors...all 2.5 HP 4-stroke. There have been complaints of random sudden stalling when returning to the slip at the marina. Typically, they restart easily. When running, everything is fine. I have experienced the stalling, myself. The only...

    1998 Mercury 8HP 2-stroke has steering friction issues

    It is serial #0G590511. The steering friction lever (co-pilot) is difficult to turn but does move when tapped lightly with a hammer. It seems no matter where it is positioned, the friction is quite small. The engine will sometimes turn slightly by itself. So, do I need to replace any parts or...

    1991 Evinrude 25 HP - can't seem to get the water tube lined up with the grommet on the water pump

    It is an E25TELEIE. I took the lower unit off because there was some water in the gear case. It passes a pressure/vacuum test, now. In trying to get the lower unit back on, I've had a lot of trouble getting the water tube to go into the water pump grommet. I finally used a length of...

    2017 Tohatsu MFS6C coughs out carburetor intake when restarting

    2017 6HP MFS6C 4-stroke In general, the engine is running very well. Idles nicely, responds to open throttle, cooling water flow good, shifts crisply. New spark plug, engine oil change, gear oil change, new impeller. After warmup, with the twist grip set to the RESTART position and choke knob...

    Yamaha 6HP 2-cyl. 4-stroke doesn't fire

    It is an F6MLH serial 60N L 1005268 J. It seems to have plenty of compression...judging from the pull start. We used starting spray and the plugs are wet...so I guess there is fuel. There doesn't appear to be any spark at all...on removing the spark plug and grounding it. The engine has less...

    2.5 HP (starts in gear) propeller not turning?

    We have a Nissan 2.5 HP long-shaft 2-stroke on a 17' sailboat. The sailboat is used by many different people...it is club owned. One user is reporting that, after the engine is started, sometimes there is no thrust....even when the throttle is opened. Other times everything is OK. I would think...

    4HP 4-stroke long-shaft pull-start internal/external tank.......what model or year?

    Someone donated this engine to our sailing club. The sticker on the bracket is gone. I don't know what year or model it is. Having trouble getting the correct parts. Is the serial number or model number somewhere else on the engine? I can post a photo if that helps.....

    1998 8 HP 2-stroke vey smoky on first start after storage prep last Fall, Winter work

    Serial #0G590511 Did all the usual storage prep last Fall.....storage seal, ran it dry. Changed the impeller over the Winter and re-did the shift/throttle cables. This Spring, fresh 50:1 fuel, new sparkplugs. Starts right up, idles beautifully, shifts like greased lightning. But, does it smoke...

    9.9hp 2 stroke mercury water pump kit

    The I.D. on the seal is less than the I.D. on the guide tube. You should put some marine grease in the seal or on the end of the water tube. Here's a photo of the water tube with the ring about an inch up from the end (it appears in the shadow, too). This ring holds the guide tube in place if...

    1998 8HP two-stroke tiller-handle shifting not very crisp after many years

    Here is a page out of the Mercury Factory Service Manual. It shows greasing in 6 places using 2-4-C w/Teflon. The old grease should certainly be removed....use degreaser or will that damage the plastic parts?

    1998 8HP two-stroke tiller-handle shifting not very crisp after many years

    Serial #0G590511 The engine has served us very well for 22+ years. It has shift/throttle control on the tiller handle. The last couple of years, it hasn't been shifting as crisply and easily as it did when new. Sometimes as you turn the twist grip to go into gear, the throttle opens so it is...

    2012 Yamaha 2.5hp running issues.

    I have 3 of them. My experience is that these problems are almost always fuel related. Good luck.

    Allen Head Gearcase Drain/Fill Screw - a marvel

    My local Evinrude dealer recently sold me a new gearcase drain/fill screw for a 1991 25 HP engine. The screw has an allen head on it.....instead of the normal straight-blade screw. After pumping the gearcase full of oil, it is always a challenge to replace the screw by holding it between thumb...
