Some of those had a battery ignition with a short cap and rotor, and some had a magneto which reached down into the bucket. Both had points and condenser like an old car. The cog belt location was critical. 2 teeth off and it would not fire. the key switch was wired diferently for each ignition system.

SOURCE: 1977 115 hp evinrude outboard water pump problem

Depending on the year motor, make sure the throttle is in the neutral position, drop the lower unit and the motor foot should come off, will probably take some wiggling and with the age of the motor, possibly a few light taps around the cavitation plate with a mallet would be helpful.

SOURCE: Missing operators manual for Evinrude 2 hp outboard motor

Your best bet is ebay for a replacement user manual. Take a look around, you will come across one... For the meantime, gas oil ratio should be 50 parts gas to 1 part oil, i.e. 50:1. General care: Dont go full throttle for any length of time. Cruise of 3/4 throttle... Always flush engine after use in saltwater, including washing down exterior. Keep spark plugs in good order and check prop for fishing line wrapped around in near the prop hub. Otherwise, get a yearly service and have them check the water pump and replace as needed, get it tuned etc and gearbox oil changed.

SOURCE: Motor spits and sputters

If it is old enough to have points then I would check them and make shure they are clean and gapped at .020. if that is noth the problem then it sounds like a fuel issue. Either a weak pump or a dirty carb.

SOURCE: how to replace impeller in a 1959 evinrude

Put engine in fwd gear. Then disconnect the shift linkage. Remove the bolts that hold the gearcase on and slide gearcase off of the tower. Remove the 4 bolts or screws in the waterpump housing and lift the housong off. Replace the impeller and reassemble in reverse order. Make sure that you get the water tube lined back up and you can twist the prop to line the splines back up in the powerhead.

What should the compression be on a 1988 evinrude 185hp outboard?

The compression on your Evinrude outboard should be at least 100 with no more than 10% difference between cylinders. Keep in mind gauges can give very different results. Also, remember the test should be run when the engine is warm!

Hope this helps!

I am looking for a diagram of a 1977 evinrude 85hp engine - so i can work out how to remove the tilt rams from the engine to check if they are working correctly

Hi there, You can find all parts diagrams for Evinrude engines here: http://epc.brp.com Just ignore the email entry part and go straight to the database. They are listed by Brand, then year, then HP size. I checked for you and it has the 1977 85HP models listed there. Then just find the right subsection of the outboard and it will bring up exploded diagrams for your viewing!
