    1968 9.5hp uneven compression?

    Hey! All: I have a 1968 9.5hp Evinrude model 9822. When I first got it, the upper cylinder compression was 70, lower was 63. I since then replaced the head gasket, thoroughly cleaned up the head cover, after that, the compression raised to 80 up and 72 down. Here are my questions: 1 Should I be...

    How to clean the cylinder head?

    Raining all day, got so bored so I took the cylinder head cover off my evinrude 9.5. The engine runs mostly ok but it is very old engine and looks like overheated long time ago. I am planning to replace the head gasket and thoroughly clean the cover, but not sure about the cylinder itself. Can...

    Evinrude Mate 2HP, no telltale?

    I recently acquired a small 1974 2HP, the engine seems to be working fine, starts easily and runs ok. Opened up the lower unit, the impeller and other things are in decent shape. But just doesn't seem to have telltale? There are four holes in the lower front(or maybe two I forgot), wet mist rush...

    9.5HP, what's that noise?

    I noticed when I adjust the throttle(both up and down), the engine sometimes make weird noise, start vibrating and slows down for a few seconds, then smooth out. Recorded two videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umVQzWkl7Gc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBbRo_h8U3s In both videos the...

    Start without choke?

    My evinrude 9.5 seems to be working fine, but I noticed I don't have to choke it even for a cold start, As a matter of fact, if I choke it, it won't start, is that bad? Feel like this engine needs a lot of air to run.

    Installing tachometer on my Evinrude

    Thinking of wiring one of those cheapo tachometer, For the two cylinders I guess I only need to worry about one spark plug wire? Is it even possible for the two cylinders' RPM to go out of sync?

    1968 9.5HP, ready to pull the flywheel, what's the nut torque?

    Continue my journey with the 9822. I got all the tools ready and viewed a few online videos how to pull the flywheel, seems to be doable. The only piece of info I need now is when I put it back, what's the nut torque setting? I've seen some tables before but can't find the link anymore.

    Evinrude 9.5 Starter Pinion won't rise

    Hey! Still working on my 9.5, one of the problem I am facing is that when I pull the starter, the pinion gear won't rise to bite the flywheel. Sometimes if I pull really fast, it would, but most time I have to manually raise the pinion gear with my fingers, let the teeth bite the fly wheel then...

    Evinrude 9.5, How to adjust the low speed idle needle?

    Got a 1965 Evinrude 9.5HP 9822 recently, The engine came with cracked fuel line, exposed wire and dirty carbs, I got fuel line replaced, wire wrapped and car cleaned and rebuilt. It runs ok now, but I found even at cold start I didn't have to close the choke, actually it won't start if I close...
