    1984 Evinrude E70TLCRD Throttle Cables

    I had them on and marked correctly.

    Copy that! Hopefully that is the issue.

    1984 Evinrude E70TLCRD Throttle Cables

    I will check tomorrow, I labeled them as I took them off and was pretty sure I put them back the same way. 🤷 We're all human I suppose. The throttle and shift cables are identical to each other.

    1984 Evinrude E70TLCRD Throttle Cables

    Long story short I needed new throttle cables, the date on the old ones were original to the motor and I had some mice get into my boat and chew up the outside coating. I ordered new ones and installed them. But now I'm not able to get them to go into the cable retainer even with adjusting the...

    Did the Joe R method of timing this morning and went out on the water today for the fine tuning... she was running like a dream. My WOT timing was right at 19/20°... the SELOC manual I have doesn't give me the actual spec, just says to look at the sticker on the motor. Does that seem fine on the...

    @racerone I've done a compression test on a new tester, and I'm getting 135 psi on all 3 cylinders. I know it's under the 140 you stated it should be at, do you think this is too low still?

    Well the gauge I have may be faulty considering it was a cheapy from Amazon. At least I really hope that is the case. 😂 I will procure a reliable compression tester and re test!! 🤞🤞

    Also, I know we're not concerned about idle timing. I keep saying idle timing and that's my bad. Pickup timing should start advancing from the TDC mark once the little carb roller (in good shape, not worn out) starts moving the tree?

    I didn't use the advance feature, it was off when I did my timing. I'm assuming you're cutting the RPMS in half for 2 vs 4 stroke?

    Like it needs to be bored over and new pistons/rings, or do you think she'll run okay for a while? Or is it just a mystery?

    Also I've heard some people say there was a service bulletin about moving the nipple from the bottom to the top where the tell tale hooks up to make sure it's not getting an air lock/gap or something with water circulating through? Does this seem accurate? Not trying to drill/tap any holes if...

    1984 Evinrude 70 HP E70TLCRD Questions

    Yes, I did change the impeller(OEM rebuild kit). My manual shows TDC on pickup timing, and says to look at sticker on engine for wot timing(sticker is gone). Compression when cold cranking came back at 90psi on all 3 cylinders. I will get my boat in the water for any future tests but...

    I'll check the carbs again tomorrow. I closely followed the link and sync procedure. I even put a little gentle pressure on the butterfly valve on the side of the carbs when tightening the screws to be sure I removed any backlash. 🤷 I adjusted the timing by moving the trigger/timer base slightly...

    Good evening everyone! I've got questions on this new to me outboard project and am hoping y'all can help me out! I tried finding info specific to my model on here and didn't have very good luck. So here I am making my own post! So I did a full update on many things. Paint and decals included...
