    69 Evinrude 6hp high rpm bogging

    I'll look into a test prop. I've never heard of them before. Is there a part number that I could look for?

    69 Evinrude 6hp high rpm bogging

    So just an update. I ran it in a 50gal barrel with water & still the same until it cavitated & then it pulled some rpm's. I bought a gauge to measure rpm on the motor & it shows 3k wot in gear. So the boat isn't too big for the motor because it can't even ramp up on its own. I checked timing and...

    69 Evinrude 6hp high rpm bogging

    I'm having an issue getting rpm's at WOT. I have a small 12' sea nymph. Probably weights 90lbs. It doesn't seem like the motor is getting to high rpm's. Definitely not getting the boat on plane & I feel like it should. The carb has be rebuilt, leaf valves replaced, head gasket, plugs, wires...

    6902M Low Idle control

    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm still having so idle issues. I pulled the plug off the top of the carb where the low idle jets are and I noticed a brass pen barely sticking through. I also noticed my needle control tip was broke off. I'll have a picture below of a carb but should...

    69 Evinrude 6hp timing

    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. The motor has ran fine in a bucket but still having idle issues so I decided to check timing with a light. I noticed it was sparking after the indicated lines on the plate so I bought a timing tool. Check out the photos. It's like the loab is off in...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    so just to provide an update. I checked the thermostat and it was stuck open so I just ordered another one. I put a new water pump on but noticed it wasn't pumping water like it should. Pulled the lower unit off and realized I missed the water tube so I got that fixed. I finally found a good...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    Thanks everyone for the advise. Last night I spent a good deal of time going back through everything as well as putting new plug wires on. I will be checking out the thermostat very shortly. I was able to get it to run for a good 5min and I was able to get it to idle as well until it died...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    You would be correct on the guess work. In all honesty I don't know anything about outboard motors. I am mechanically inclined don't get me wrong there but I just have never worked on outboard motors or really any small motors.... With that being said I'm defiantly not a master mechanic but when...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    With the handle set on start it moves the throttle probably a 1/4". If I move the handle to shift then its completely off the throttle meaning the butterfly would be 100% closed so I might need to adjust that. I did purchase the service manual so I will go through that section and see if I can...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    I'll try and check on the thermostat tomorrow if i have time. I have new plug wires coming in tomorrow. I did pull the carb off this afternoon and confirm the float was set correctly per the service manual. The needle valve sat correctly. With the needle completely seated, I couldn't blow...

    I kept the original fuel pump so I'll look into some diaphragms for it. I did get an Amazon special fuel pump. I haven't checked the thermostat but I'll check and see if its stuck open. I did replace the impeller on the water pump.

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    thanks for confirming. I bought a new fuel pump for it. I missed that one in my list of items I replaced. Thanks,

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    Thanks for the clarification on the lead shot. When I pull the carb I will do this exact test. Now something I just noticed. I went outside and pulled the plugs just to check. The top cylinder is firing and the bottom isn't so I'm going to rerun the plug wire for the bottom plug. Is it...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    A new needle and seat came with the carb kit. I'll open it back up and reinspect everything again. I was looking at a diagram of the carb and was wondering if someone could shed some light on this lead shot. Where is it on the carb and what is it for?

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    Thanks everyone for the insight. I went a head and changed everything on the magneto plate. Coils, Condensers, points (checked gap), timing, plug wires, & plugs (checked gap). I was able to get it running briefly and only with the throttle wide open. I cleaned the carb and replaced the float...
