what is the wire connected to the cylinder
hi,my outboard is a 1983 evinrude v4, 90 hp. from one of the coils (I
think that's what it's), there're two small wires(16 gauge, maybe),
one goes to cyliner #3(which sits below #1) and one goes to #4(sits
below #2). can anyone tell me: 1. what are those wires for? (are they just ground wires) I look at
the service manual and there's no reference on those wires.
2. The connection in #3 is kind of corroded, what can I do about it?
3. when I first take off the cowling, there's a faint smell of gas, is
this normal? thanks s o |

| what do you guys recommand as far as service manual goes? the cd
version (similar to a seloc, i think. about 460 pages) I have is too
generic and rather incomplete. I'd like something that's more hand-
holding as well. thx s o |

| just wanted to add that the wire is connected to the cylinder head and
is not held by a bolt/screw or anything. the cylinder head has a
little hole (next to one of the bolts) and the wire goes in there and
it looks like it was sealed by some sort of sealant. On Feb 12, 10:46 am, "s o" <jou...@yahoo.com> wrote: |

| Yes, a minute smell of gas fumes will be there, because of the
carburators being enclosed under the cowl. if you see the carbs
dripping, thats not a good sign, but the fumes will always be there. Concerning the wire? it copulg be an overheat alarm, but not sure. |
