    1986 70HP Crankshaft replacement

    It’s there any crankshaft compatible with my engine? No one near me either has or wants to part ways with their 70hp VRO from 1986. What is the remanufacturing tolerance for this year/model crankshaft? If scoring is not too deep I may be able to get it polished and still be usable/within tolerance.

    1986 70HP Crankshaft replacement

    Hello, I have tried to find another year engine or superceding part number for the crankshaft on my 1986 E70TLCD VRO. Crank bearing on cylinder 1 shredded to pieces and seized motor. Tore down powerhead and journal is scored on #1.. Cylinder in good condition, piston needs replacement...

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    No I only have one gap tester so I have been doing them individually.

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    I do not know how to do a complete voltage drop test. Would you be able to give me the run down? Spark jumps gap on all 4 cylinders with strong blue snap each time when cranking without fail (plugs in cylinders to simulate working compression) so I am pretty sure it is not an issue of no spark...

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    Anybody have a clue as to why it would crank and backfire but not catch and run? Is it likely plugs are swapped around? Or timing related? As I mentioned I do not have full documentation on the process for the 1972 model 100hp. It seems all other models/years of the Starflite motors have more...

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    Mine has little circles and the only markings that still exist in the circles are one tower says 2 and one has a “M” enclosed in a box. The other towers have blank circles. Likely worn off due to age.

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    Cranked it over after work with a blast of starting fluid and it sounded like a shotgun. Super loud backfire but will not start running. Is the timing adjustable on this thing my manual only really depicts adjustment of the timing pointer.. Is it adjusted through the throttle cable? The only...

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    Does anyone know which plug wire goes to which cylinder on this model? Mine are not tagged. I am having issues locating a diagram depicting this..

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    When cranking I only get about 8.5-9v out of the starter motor when testing with MM. what is the most likely culprit here? I have load tested battery and it passed. CDI is firing so that is good but the voltage drop seems massive. Resting voltage on ignition terminals on terminal block check out...

    1972 Evinrude 100293R Diode question for Joe Reeves

    This is primarily for Joe Reeves.. I am trying to install the diode in your mentioned fox for voltage drop to pulse pack on this old engine. My question is There are 4 terminals on the starter solenoid. I will list them from top to bottom as if the solenoid is mounted on the power head below...
