What is part 13 in this diagram? Ive noticed what seems to be exhaust comming out of it. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1965&hp=18&model=18502&manufacturer=Evinrude&section=Lower+Unit+Group

Motor is still not running right. Took it out the other day and at full throttle it was bogged down then all of a sudden it sputters and jerks and the rpms come up and we start hauling *** then when I throttle down then back to full it bohs down then all of sudden a few spits and pops and ***...

I might have just solved my issue. all this time I was thinking fuel and now Im thinking fire. I put 2 new plugs in today and it ran fine for about 10 minutes then it started popping and jerking around. I pulled the 2 plugs and seen one plug is clean and the other is black. So I put my spark...

My phone wont take a good video of my motor but this vid I found is what my motor is doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCRYSWEVG2c&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Bought some plugs today bought j6c instead of j4c. Started raining so I cant put them in. One of my plugs was cleaner than the other, read that that cylinder could be ingesting water. Is this a possibility?

The guy in the link says it is highly important to put thqt clip Iin being the new valve has a rubber tip and it will.get stuck in the seat. I hope its that simple. Except I have no clue what I did with thqt spring

I believe i just solved my problem. I did not put thqt spring on cuz the old valve didnt have one. And from what this guy says it is highly important. https://www.outboard-boat-motor-repair.com/johnson/Evinrude%20Johnson%205.5%20HP%201954-1964%20Carburetor%20Tune-UP.htm

Just a quick question. I was googling as always and stumbled across something. There is a needle spring that connects to the needle valve and float it the carb. Does the needle spring have to be on there?

The plugs are about the only thing I have not changed. They look like champion brand j4c's i believe. A work buddy looked at my plugs and said one looked like i was running lean and the other looked like it was running rich. How does that even happen? Went in the lake today but its only idle...

Fixed the video. So it has to be a fuel issue? Gotta be getting air in somewhere i think.

So some of you may recall my post about this motor not running and with everyones help I got it running. WellIm still trying to work out some bugs.I have replaced the fuel pump, all ignition parts, rebuilt the carb and replaced all fuel lines. Todays test on the lake went better than previous...

Forgot that part lol. Its a 1965 evinrude fastwin 18hp. In the fast position the arm doesnt stop it, after looking at parts diagram there is a spring that pulls that arm in perhaps that spring has gotten weak. And **** that little spring cost $19

What would cause or what is supposed to stop the armature plate from turning to where the roller is not touching the part on the plate That its supposed to roll on

I have only had a few minutes to work on the motor. No news to report. When I rev it up then bring it back down it seems to stick for a moment then finally idles down. Not sure if thats just normal for an older motor or not. I did get a gel coat put in my boat and it looks awesome. The armature...

Might try the pvc, Im a little skeptical about putting holes in my boat even though they would just have to go through the bench seats. I need to put my battery in front and will have to figure out a way to do it that doesnt look like crap. Very nice work on your boat btw

Found a guy who gel coats on the side. For $200 I am happy happy happy. Unfortunately I dont have any b4 pics. Now I got to get started on running wires for light and the trolling motor. Any tips/suggestions on doing that without putting too many holes in my boat.

Thanks once again cajun. I did notice when it started running badly I squeezed the primer bulb and it was soft not firm so perhaps something is wrong with the pump. I have cleaned the screen on the fuel filter b4 but thats as far as I went into the pump. Wasnt sure what else to look for. I have...

Well the new gas can with vent did not solve the problem. Its weird at my house in a bucket of water it runs fine but as soon as I put it in the lake it runs good for about 2-3 mins then goes to crap from there. I was hoping to avoid taking off the carb again but looks like it will have to be...

Interesting that 3 gallon tank I was using did not have a vent. The 6 gallon I just bought does. Maybe that was it

Seems to be running pretty good in my trash can. I pulled the pump apart and there was a little trash in the screen. Was able to tune the carb in a lot easier on shore. Put it in gear and gunned it and ran fine, not sure if pushing the boat will make a diff or not. Im on call this week so cant...
