    New harness to Outboard.

    I found some 1-1/2" heat shrink tubing 4' long. I hope it stays flexible after it's been shrunk. It should be long enough to clear my motor well.

    I have a 65' 15' Sears Runabout that I want to fit a 66' 40653B Evinrude 40hp Big Twin mounted with an Outboard jet's Model B Jet pump. I need to rebuild the harness from stock junction box through to my engine. I don't need help with wiring so relax. I have 4ga red & black for the starter. I...

    Short Plug

    Use 7mm Copper core sparkplug wires with 90º boots. Most auto parts stores should have some, Call ahead.

    Priming bulb before each engine start

    I think it's your fuel pump. If there is a vacuum leak the fuel won't stay in the line.

    86 johnson 40hp backfires, wont start

    I hope you got your engine running again. Oh! did you check to see if your prop has spun or loose on its rubber hub? That will cause a loss of power too.

    86 johnson 40hp backfires, wont start

    I should also say that it is not safe to run your motor at Wide Open Throttle with "Muffs". and Diesel fuel makes a GREAT carburetor cleaner, No need to "boil" out the residue. Oh... check your kill switch wiring.

    86 johnson 40hp backfires, wont start

    Ok so you have poor power under load... I get the check for spark, and fuel pressure. If it runs, then it's probably not the carburetor but rather Synchronization or adjustment that is your problem. Backfiring sounds like "Lean Sneeze" to me. Loosen the high-speed needle 1/4-1/2 turn...

    1956 super fastwin no start help please

    If it hasn't been started in a while, try squirting oil into the cylinders. I know the fuel mix says 24:1, I mix mine at 32:1. It's just too much oil in my mind. If you have a single line fuel tank you need the vent opened to run. I've never dealt with dual line system but yeah it would need to...

    1960 Lark ii 40hp cooling system help

    The water comes out of the exhaust port, the one where the rubber boot connects to the rear housing. If it does not start within a minute you have impeller issues. Water in a barrel should be above the vent on the port side of the lower housing. You do NOT need the thermostat. Unless you run...
