ok this is gonna be a long story so here it goes. I bought this motor few years ago. i bought off a guy he said it runs but has not been run in a year. so i brought it home. stuck it in the barrel and hooked up the gas tank primed it up and 2nd pull off and running. ran great. used it the rest...

I did turn it out about a half round it made it better but still did it every once and awhile. esp when you came from WOT to idle. if you slowly came from WOT to idle it wasnt as bad. Just still something not right. I will try and run it in the tank tonight and adjust it out some more. Steve

you can go with a Autolite 295 or NGK B6S or Champion J8C. RJ8C is a resistor plug. The QL77J4C was designed for the CDI ignition system and had a longer reach on the plug thats where the shiny spot on the piston is coming from. I run the NGK plugs in my older stuff and dont have problems with...

Well I ran it on the lake today. Still does it just not as bad. I will be idling along and sneeze. It might go awhile and do it one or three or four times and die. Seems worse after you have it opened up going across the lake then back it down to idle. Which I figured it would be when it would...

Ok I marked TDC for both cylinders. put in the test tank. idle jet set to a round and 1/4 out. synced to the starboard side of first mark as manual says. Hit start button and fired right off. Adjusted idle jet. Ended up about a round and 3/4 out. checked timing with the marks. when it sneezed it...

I pulled the carb off today. looked at the reed valves. I took a oring pick and lightly opened each one just a bit to make sure none was stuck. Everything looked good in the intake. I tore the carb back apart. The idle circuit is fed by a brass tube that runs up the middle of the carb and is...

compression is 120 top and bottom cylinders. carb is closed at idle. i looked in the bore today and double checked it. I took a look at the service manual on boatinfo.no to check the sync of the carb. In the manual is says to use "B" location. the throttle shaft should start to move when the...

I changed the seal and the hose that came from the top bearing to the bottom bearing. No other signs of leaks anywhere. Still does it just not as bad. I am out of ideas. Any suggestions???? Thanks Steve

I dont feel it pop back thru the carb. I havent seen it leaking around the crank case halves or noticed and around the intake bypass covers. the fuel pump is on top cylinder bypass cover. i thought it might been leaking and making the top cylinder run rich and thats why the plug is wet but i...

I got a 84 25hp Evinrude that sneezes at idle. It use to do it every once and awhile just at idle. Its gotten worse to the point it wont hardly idle. I have cleaned the carb 3 times. First time was soaked in carb cleaner with the plugs out and I ran tip cleaners thru every passage and sprayed...

sounds like it has something in the high speed jet in the carb. Did you get the motor yet? Steve

Well I havent seen any factory water indicator on this block design. By looking at the parts breakdowns it looks like they started putting them on from the factory in 1977. Its a different block design. On the 77 model, its at the bottom of the exhaust cover. I seen where someone put it in the...

I am wanting to add a water indicator(pee hole) to my 1972 Evinrude 25 hp. I am thinking the thermostat cover. Will that work? Thanks Steve

I know on the Echo 551 dv. you can change the background colors. I know you can change it to blue background. but other than that. dont know on the higher end models. cant afford to look at those lol! Steve

Anyone use spray on bedliner on plywood floor? How is it holding up? I got to put a new floor on my pontoon boat this summer and dont like the idea of carpet on it. Thanks Steve

ok thanks guys will check them out. Steve

Did you check the intake side of the water pump? Steve

What years can be used on a 1979 25hp evinrude? all I seem to come up with is 79-82? What about a 1976? Looking for parts for a 1979. Thanks Steve

I found how to do that. I think the handle grip isnt the right one. All I know it the roller that runs the throttle on the carb goes on the high part of the cam on the timing plate. the carb is wide open but the timing plate can turn about another 1/4 inch. you can see where the roller has sit...

The gears at the handle and steering bracket line up. Go ahead and send me those pages. I think alot of it is wear. Steve
