I went fishing and at some point noticed a small brown lizard on the boat seat. Now..this is nothing unusual. I've often had hitchhikers and they often jump ship or remain till I get home hidden in...

I have an 84 model 6 hp.Great motor and cheap parts to fix.I had to replace coils but that was all.Easy fix and lots of videos to help.

Thanks for well wishes on the trip. I did change my mind about istapoga today. Looked like rain over toward the lake so I went to red beach instead. I had been getting a little discouraged with that...

I plan to fish lake istapoga in highlands county on friday morning. Really will be just the second time on the lake. I went out once when I first got my boat just to explore but now want to see if I...

I know they were there somewhere..tried worms under hooks in the reeds..but no luck..wasn't shallow enough to see the beds.How long do they stay on them?

I was fishing a red beach lake in Sebring ,fl the other morning for crappies. The crappie bite was slow but I caught a very strong whiff of fish beds at one point. I had once fished with an old...

went out again this morning. We got a late start because during the night someone had stolen my three rods that were in the boat!!,So..daughter had bought about twenty rod/reel combos at a yard sale...

well..after getting all my engine issues corrected, I'be been to a place called red beach lake close to sebring..about a dozen times. I got out by 8 am today and just drift fished with some minnows....

Success!! I got the new coils in and set the points. Bought one of the Frank robb coil locating rings..after four attempts at it figured that would be easiest route to finishing up. Not too...

Well..I got the flywheel off with a puller and electric impact. The last little bit was tough but gave the puller a few good whacks with a hammer and it popped lose...I have the green circular coils...

I had not even thought about a coil being the problem but it does make sense. I'll have to get this one off and test it. Thanks for that info!!

well I tested it...started great at the ramp and ran very well for about 15 minutes...Started to deep water at wot and it just cut out again. I'm beginning to believe there might be an overheating...

LOL! I had the plug turned around at the motor once...daughter noticed that!!..The simplest things..Going out now to try it out on a small lake...I don't want to have to row far if I have to row!!

Well..I'm happy! Finally got it to start and idle for a while
in a big plastic garbage pail, I discovered that I had put the float on upside down and had not tightened the center screw inside the...

I figured it out finally..I watched a carb rebuild on you tube and it had a close up of how it was attached..literally just hangs..I was trying to fit the wire into the holes in the arm...

ok..I got my carb kit and I am stumped on something that is probably painfully obvious but I can't figure it out. I've tried about 20 times to get the needle to hang on the float arm but can't seem...

I changed out the champion J6C's for new nGK plugs. Looking at the two side by side,the old electrodes were really burnt down. I also ordered an new carb kit. There were two orings in the old carb...

I have checked the plugs and they were wet looking..Will get a pressure tester and do the compression check. Thanks for the replies!Need to get this thing back on the water!

oh..it is manual pull...

I've got an 80's model Evinrude 6 hp that just will not start. Last time out,it coughed,sputtered and died a couple of times after short runs. When I first got it with used 14 ft boat ,it ran pretty...

I felt so silly today..Took the boat out yesterday and motor ran fine...Unplugged lines at dock to run the gas out...then took boat on home. It was dark so didn't really take my time putting the...

I have it fixed!! New fuel pump was a snap to put in..had to lengthen one fuel line to make it mount right and get 2" bolts to mount it instead of the stock ones. I still was getting air and there...

I was towing a jon boat with a 92 lebaron convertible for a while..just be careful of the ramps that are really shallow at the front end. My rear was often hanging or very close to hanging in the...

It's not new and shiny. Old bolt in the center of it has some rust nicks. I think must have been rebuilt.....possibly incorrectly maybe? I dunno..ordered a brand new one.....

I have replaced all of the line with some of the line that was on the tank that came with the boat. I had a smaller tank at home that I was using when I first tried it out. it still bogs but pumping...

I just changed out the gas(didn't really know how long it had been sitting) so that isn't a possible issue anymore. It WILL keep going at wot or any speed if I pump more. So I'm guessing it's more...

Probably changing fuel next to rule that out......

I've got the clamps tight and a new bulb..can't see where air would be coming from..also new connectorr and it's tight..very weird..

I just bought a 75(ish) model evinrude 6 hp . previous owner said it had just had carb rebuilt and had paper work to show it. First time out with it ,it ran fine up to the point where I fished. When...

The rod does seem perfect for panfish..very flexible...
