    High ring pistons and broken rigns

    So I've got my share of 70's Evinrude v4's (6 of them). I have noticed that a lot of the times they have broken piston rings. I did some research and found that they are all prone to breaking rings, but ones with "high ring" pistons are especially as likely. I cannot find what a high ring piston...

    1977 85hp evinrude cylinder head gasket

    So a 1970's 115hp Evinrude(which I also have) is the same block as an 85, but with a slightly larger bore size. My question is can I use the 115hp head gaskets on the 85hp. The reason I ask is that the 115 gaskets are significantly cheaper and I also happen to have a set. I'll put a picture with...

    Evinrude 1957 5.5 cooling issue

    Evinrude 1957 5.5hp starts, but wont hit the max rpm

    Hi, I recently acquired a 1957 Evinrude 5.5hp and the carb was rebuilt with a new float, compression was 75 in both cylinders(after 3 pulls), the spark is good. I can get it running (15-20 pulls when cold) with the idles in the recommended position, but when I give it throttle it will increase...
