I will check item 3, thanks.

Manual choke is working. Unfortunately its pull start only.

Question about a new to me early 80s Evinrude 35 - 2 cyl. It just will not start without 2/3 to full throttle and will not idle well at all. It had not been running for a while so this is what I've done so far: Cleaned carb (including ports under plugs), checked and cleaned the reeds...

That's not what the 3 cyl acts like when the sensor eye is going bad.

Its been 5 years since that post but yeah mine is fixed, lol. The reason this thread is active is because someone else was having a similar problem.

Its the pickup sensor under the flywheel (replace at the same time as powerpack). I think its OMC part # 0584824, but I would double check on boats.net or similar for your model number. (Sent via PM also)

Thanks

I have an 81 evinrude 35 pull start and I need a motor cover. What years would be compatible for that motor? Any differences between a 25 and 35 cover? Thanks guys.

Not sure where you are but I have a friend in Southern MO that has a long shaft remote that would gladly trade controls for the tiller setup. If you end up not buying it, please send me a PM. Thanks

Found the problem, bad stator. Resistance tests did not show a problem, but replacing the stator fixed it. Luckily I had a parts motor.

My 96 Johnson 40 2 cyl has been randomly missing/popping at upper RPMs for a while and was getting worse. I thought it was fuel problem but replacing the fuel pump, cleaning carbs, new fuel etc. did not help. I've checked compression, 157-158 psi on both cylinders. Spark looked OK but a little...

I would expect more out of that setup. My 1648 with Tohatsu 40/25 (w/ full tank cooler and wife) will easily hit 26-7 going up and 30+ down. Also agree with Andy on the speed estimate. Weldbilts seem fairly heavy. My 1742 weldbilt weighs a lot more than my 1648 blazer.

Thanks Pappy, I did search but didnt find that particular swap. It looks like an easy one, I just wanted to double check.

Greetings gentlemen, My tilt assist cylinder failed on my 96 Johnson 40/28 jet and I've acquired a 94 Evinrude 48 SPL with a bad lower unit that has a power trim on it. I plan to swap the trim unit soon. The 94 powerhead has better compression and seems to be fairly low hours compared to my 96...

Open water timing adjustment could be fun but a little dangerous for my river, lol.
