Wanted to post an update: I ended up replacing thermostat and the springs in there and also reverse flushed the engine a few more times (nothing came out with the flush). I also put a new water pump kit on it, this time I put one of the included drive shaft orings between the impeller and...
Doesn’t the drive shaft still spin with the same speed in neutral? I’m not familiar with all that but figured the gears in the lower unit are disengaged but shaft and impeller still increase in speed so it’s odd to me to not see it also occur in neutral at high rpms..
FYI- did post in the...
Replaced my entire water pump on my freshwater only 98 60hp evinrude, model E60TLECM and now in gear at high RPM the water through tell tale entirely stops pumping. First slows then turns to steam and then nothing. It will overheat but I kill the engine. In neutral I can give it as much throttle...
Thank you. Gonna verify one more time I put it together right before pulling the head 🙃. Odd how it only shows when in gear at high rpm but in neutral high rpm it’s fine.
Well I went and checked it out and couldnt find anything out of the ordinary. Might order a new one tonight anyway just because I dont trust the cleanliness of my current one. HOWEVER, i did find something highly suspect and I believe may be the culprit!! Please verify if you can or let me know...
Huh. Well I also took a pic of the timing marks with #1 piston at TDC:
If I count the teeth on the fly wheel back from the markings that sure looks like 0 degrees in my limited know how.
Since that pointer is basically showing 0 degrees with piston #1 at TDC that means the woodruff key should...
Well I checked it out and spark is good, strong and blue. Means spark + compression are there. Going to triple check carb and fuel lines tomorrow. In the mean time I dont think i need to pull flywheel off.
I took an image of the timing marks at the top cylinder approaches TDC so not quite BTDC...
Hi everyone,
I have a 25hp johnson (TJ25ELEID) and its been running fine up until a couple weeks ago. The motor while cruising along started sputtering and died almost like it was out of gas, fuel was low but enough that it shouldve kept running. I managed to start it up a few times after but...
Hi everyone,
The motor hasn't ran for sometime and after cleaning it up it started fine the first time and has not started since(low compression now).
The top cylinder 60psi, and 90psi in the bottom(checking it cold since it wont start now). I took off the bypass cover and looked at the rings...
I agree. I maybe got to about 12ft/lbs of torque on the bolt before the weld came loose. Here are a couple close ups(before weld).
I only have one photo of the broken weld(and am currently back at university so wont be able to get more for a bit). But you can see it broke right along the...
