All right all you number guys are needed here I'm running this lil 9.9 on my 71 delhi 1636 loaded w me and gear run at 15 mph wgat do yall really think I can expect to see from this motor?

Spring. Sorry there is no cable

You may have sprung your cable. Try just hand rewinding and it might retract on its own. My merc occasionally hangs up but I think my rope is too small.

Runs fine just overheating. Head gasket was not sealed well and got water in the bottom cyl. Thanks for the tip on finding the part. I've found a few other fastwins around on craigslist but been too busy with work to snag em yet.

Around here(central tx) no one works on older motors too may people get sticker shock due to parts and labor fees. I just rebuilt the carb on my 66 fastwin 18 horse. If you can follow instructions you can do it. Napa has the kit as well as marineengine.com its a breeze and will make a huge...

The green wire got pulled down when the cam came apart. I have yet to pull the reed box due to the fact I can't find a cam.

Fuel pump issue resolved. Lee roy said those pumps are a PITA and let me assure you they are one lil miss step and you got nothin. Anyhow got her put back together and she runs like a top in the barrel next test will be Saturday at the lake. The impeller has been changed and gear oil...

Nvmd I gotta thank lee roy man he's got the best site for this whole fixing old motors thing

Well I screwed up and took the fuel pump apart without marking and checking everything. This is going to be interesting

Look at my other post. Fastwin still overheating

Def. Dont need that loud lawnmower motor. I currently am running a 69 merc 7.5 horse just got a great deal on a stored motor. It runs great but a front decked 1636 with my wife son and me just isn't enough. I'm a man I will never have enough POWER.

Ok well I'm trading a 2003 briggs 5horse for a 1985 evinrude 9.9. Just looking for thoughts, comments and concerns about these motors. The only real expensive obvious thing I may have to change looks like the ignition system. Any input would help. Thanks guys

Gonna try if I can get a few min at work tomorrow.

Not off hand. I thought about brazing the top and bottom of the cracks and see if she holds

Well it looks like this motor will be on the back burner till I can find a cam for it. No new parts and nothing on ebay yet. I'm guessing I still need the cam even if I switch to electronic ignition correct?

well it quit raining for a while today so i started back on the 66 i have and pulled the flywheel to re do the coils and all since i thought it wouldbe about time. took it all apart put it back together and took her to the drum for a test run. pulled her a few times and nothing so i figured i...

Sounds like a vapor lock on the lake. Verify she's staying cool. I'm fighting mine right now. Next check the kill switch and verify its not grounding out or rubbing.

She's pumping water I pulled the thermostat housing and it had water just flowing like a water hose. Engine stayed cool then. Put the cover on and she warmed up again.like its not flowing freely inside the block. I ordered anoyher headgasket I'm gonna pull the head after the fair this weekend...

This may very well be a stupid question but I'm a goofy guy so here goes. Would a motor running on one cyl. cause an overheating situation? I've done everything I can think of with this motor. I've replaced the impeller the housing looks impecable the thermostat has been replaced I've taken the...

Ya my wife is starting ti think I'm a hoarder. The 66 is just running hot and I can't figure out y. Got lots of water pressure. I dunno
