I would jump on that one Will. Cajun

Pappy, NYMarine, makes the shift rod boot and I think they used to remanufacter the exhaust housing seal. I did not see on their listing, but it used to be there. I think there is another maker of the exhaust housing seal. I need to find it in my notes. Good to hear from you Pappy, as...

Will, PM me your email address. I did get your PM and I can help you with a manual. I visit the forum once in a while. Cajun

thunder61golf, Pappy is trying to give you very good guidance. He is trying to systematically trouble shoot your issue over the internet. Believe me, that is a very hard thing to do because the poster is giving information and observations that the advice giver has to sort through. It is...

Be very careful with degreasers and old outboards. Some will take the paint right off your motor. I had an unfortunate experience with a 1955 Evinrude 7.5hp. :( Believe it or not WD40 works on the heavy stuff and yes dish soap and water do a pretty good job. WD40 will clean and protect the...

Yes, the 2 main culprits of the exhaust leak would be the exhaust housing seal and the shift rod boot. I thought that Nymarine made both the shift rod boot and the exhaust housing seal. The exhaust housing seal can deformed from the years, so it allows exhaust gases to travel up. Usually less...

Well, lets take a systematic approach to solving your motor issue or issues. A good systematic process is to check compression first, then spark, and then fuel delivery. I will further explain the said process, but would like for you to do a couple of freebie checks first. - did you make...

CMOS, sent you a PM.

Kofkorn, good eye on the lock spring. I did not see that originally. Pappy is so right about the safety when messing with the starter and spring. Here are a couple of pictures of a 1984 Evinrude 15hp manual starter setup for reference.

I would not alter the safety mechanism, it is there for a reason. Once you have your manual starter apart, make sure all the parts are there. You never know what the previous owner has done, so don't assume anything. I may have the breakdown procedure for the starter. The video I posted does...

This YouTube video should help you along with the starter repair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmCm4PD_E9Y
