Question, I lost spark today on all cylinders while at dock, Just replaced ignition coil, had her running, idling smooth, reved her up to 2000 for a sec. sounded great, smoothest ever. Wanted to check to see if my choke worked so while running I pushed the key in a few times, she stalled out, I...

How can I spray ether into the carbs without removing the air silencer on a 1994 150 HP Ocean Pro 60 Degree Looper

Thanks I'll check it out.

I want to make sure my throttle is going down all the way because I am not getting full RPM's The engine is a 1995 150 HP Evinrude Ocean Pro

How do I know if my throttle cable is adjusted correctly ? I had an idiot mechanic, just can't trust anything he did, and I know he fooled with my cables. Thanks for any input:head:

It was just the left side cyl. of the top coil (# 1 ) that had no spark, I swapped out the coil with the coil underneath ( # 3 & 4 ) and had spark on #1 with different coil but still no spark on the original one on the left side, now # 3

I found what I think to be my problem today, Had no spark on the # 1 cyl. tested the 0583740 ignition coil for # 1& 2 on #3 & 5 cyl. had no spark on # 3, bad coil pack. How common is it for these to go bad, I am thinking about changing all 3 ( only $30.00 each )? 0583740 IGNITION COIL

Went down today, got it to run with portable tank and my built in tank, same results, I don't think it's fuel. I can run it idling it using the throttle linkage at engine, keeping it at 800-1,000 RPM's when I push it close to 1,500 she kicks and shuts down, she is also running a little rough...

No, I didn't, I am thinking about checking the fuel pump tomorrow, but I would rather not do that yet because I have no trailer and I have to work on this in the water on my mooring ball, I don't even know if I will be able to take off the lower shroud of the engine, it's going to be a nightmare...

I would be curious to know the answer to that also ! My whole fuel system I installed last year, all new except the tanks, which i cleaned with pebbles and acetone. Water seperator and all lines including primer ball, new, fuel shut off valves, gas fills, vents. I don't know if the ethanol could...

I went down today with fresh gas, checked in-line filter inside motor, looked good,checked all plugs, sprayed them with carb cleaner, disconnected fuel line from engine side of primer ball and pumped a gallon into a bucket, it looked perfect, hooked line up to 6 gall. tank, it started right up...

Yes I purchased the engine newly rebuilt, in Sep, 2010 I was told that when he got the engine in off of another boat he opened it up there was nothing wrong, he changed the crank and rebuilt it anyway, but I have a problem trusting this guy having the problems I have had so far, I know he just...

I'm trying to isolate what I think might be bad gas, I was thinking of using a seperate 6 gal. can that is full of fresh gas at a 75:1 mix ( a friends )to run the engine along with the VRO hooked up. I know it might be a little rich but if it runs I can get closer to my suspicion of bad gas or...

Did comp. test this morning with a brand new screw in type tester. Had to do it with the engine cold, I can't start it. I got 120 lbs. on all three starboard side cyl. Had 100 lbs. on all three port side cyl. Also this is the 3rd time I found black buildup on the lower starboard side plug. I...

Well went out today. Got to boat swap out the fuel / water seperator filter next off to gas dock ( 16 Gal high test ), had a problem threading on my Perko plastic gas cap, I deformed the threads and just forced it on, ( I know I need a metal one )off to go tubing, everything normal, tubing for...

I have been adding the Sta-bil for ethanol every time I get gas since I got the motor ( last Sep. ) when it was newly rebuilt. I am thinking more about a product for decarboning. I just got a known good compression tester yesterday, I will do that first and see what my results are. I only have...

another question! is the seafoam engine treatment I have heard about on this site the same as the Evinrude engine tune ?

Sounds good, butterflys open is the same as manually holding the throttle full open at the engine corrrect? Jumping the selenoid is the same as cranking the engine with the safety lanyard (kill switch ) disconnected right? Just curious because other things i have heard say that but I trust you...
