Tips To Finding Outboard Motor Parts

This past summer, I took the family out on the water when Ifoundthe outboard motor was starting to sputter and appeared to have some kind of a issue. I could see periodic spurts of gas floating away on the water. The boat’s motor was luckily still running, so we stayed out for the rest of the day, however I knew I was going to have to appear into the problem so we wouldn’t get stranded someday later on.

My boat has a 1995 Evinrude E100WTLEOC, a four-stroke motor using a carburetor. I guessed the fuel/air combination was starting to be irregular, so I right away thought carburetor. I consider myself a bit of a tinkerer, so I took out the carburetor and studied it carefully, however I was not able to visually see something incorrect with any of thecomponents. I reassembled the part and hoped for a little luck thenext occasionwe went out.

Sadly, the problem continued, as well as got a little worse, so I decided that it must be an issue with all the fuel pump system. Well, when I started searching around the fuel pump, I noticed a little perforation inside the fuel manifold, which would explain all the problems. Air was obtaining into the fuel lines leading towards the carburetor and unburned fuel was leaking from the manifold. The component clearly necessary to be replaced.

Only down the street right here in South Haven is really a little boat repair shop. I figured would be able toI could just go in and buy the component, or they could a minimum of order it for me. But they didn’t have any 16-year-old fuel manifolds and their supplier didn’t have them either. No huge deal, it’s a little shop. I’ll just discover a nationally certified Evinrude outboard motor dealer. So I get out the yellow pages, discover a store and head over there to purchase the component. Guess what? They do not have it either, and neither did their suppliers.

I’m a little miffed when I get house, so I get on the personal computer and begin searching on the internet, figuring it can’t be that difficult to discover outboard motor parts.

In no time, I found a great web site that sells outboard motor parts called Metta Marine. They carry all kinds of new and old outboard motor parts

It was so effortless to pick the year of my engine, then the horsepower of my engine, then the model number of my motor, then the fuel pump category. The website then brought up a page that had a detailed spec drawing of the whole fuel pump system and a list of all the parts included. Talk about straightforward. I started wondering why the dolts at the repair shop and also the dealership couldn’t do this themselves.

I next placed the fuel manifold to my cart and checked out. Now I realize specifically where to go if I need any more parts for my 1995 outboard motor, and I won’t even have to leave my home.
