Continuous Spray

Continuous Spray

I ahve a Evinrude 80 outboard boat engine and it is having some problems?

So I have an old Evinrude 80 outboard engine and I can't get it to run. I checked the fuel delivery and it seems to function, and the plugs are less than perfect, but they work.

the electric starter runs turns the engine over and then the engine stops. I can't get it to run for more than a second. We tried starting it with some starter fluid and it ran with a continuous spray of starter fluid. When the other person stopped spraying it the engine would run for 3 seconds tops and then it would just stop.

What could be the problem?

It's deffinately a fuel problem. First remove the gas line from the fuel pump. Thats the thing with a black plastic cover with a screw in the middle. Then pump your primer ball and make sure gas is going thru the gas line. Next, hold your thumb over the gas line and pump the primer ball and look for leaks anywhere in that line. Next replace the main gas line and do the same with the line going to the main carb. Next replace that gas line and pull the plugs from the carb bowls and pump the primer ball. Check the condition of the gas that comes out. If it is at all funky, rebuild the carbs. Oh and make sure you are using new clean gas with the right oil mixture.

3 Things You Must Know When Using Aerosol Spray Paints on Your Car - Spray Painting

So you just finished putting that first coat of paint on that car that you have been restoring and it looks great. You didn't realize that you had to the talent to spray paint a car. The only problem is you have run out of time and can't get the second coat on. Well that's really not going to be a problem, the cars in a protected area so you can get back at it next week. You just stick the caps on the spray cans and stick them on the shelf for the time being.

A week goes by and you're ready to go ahead and spray paint the car, or at least get the second coat on. You're all set up you've pulled the cans of spray paint off the shelf, and popped the lid on one of them. Then it doesn't seem to matter how hard you press the nozzle of the spray can nothing comes out. You know by the feel of it its not empty, actually its almost full. Then you realize it must be clogged. No problem you just get a thin piece of wire and try to clean it out.

After several tries you realize it just isn't going to clear, so you end up throwing an almost full can of rather expensive spray paint away. Then you remember what a buddy told you about spray paints. When you are finished using them you must turn the can upside down and spray the paint for a few seconds. This can be done on a piece of cardboard. It will clear all the excess spray out of the nozzle so next time you go to use it, it won't be plugged. A good lesson learned.

You didn't realize the problems that could occur when you went to spray paint a car, but thankfully you have a few cans of paint left so you can get on with it. You give the cans a few shakes and at last out comes the paint. There is one major problem though, the color doesn't look quite the same. The label says it's the same color but what in the world is the problem here? Actually you most likely didn't shake enough so the color wasn't properly mixed. You must shake the can vigorously you will hear the mixer ball inside the can rattle.

Continue to shake for at least three to four minutes. Also at regular intervals while you are spraying give the can a good shake as well. This will ensure that your paint stays well mixed and will evenly distribute the color when you apply it. Remember you must be as methodical when you go to spray paint a car, as you would a fine piece of furniture.

Another very important point to remember that to spray paint a car is a big job, and most likely you will be a little tired afterwards. Clean up is very important and that means making sure that you cleaned the nozzle of the spray as we discussed. Another very important thing to remember is to store your paints safely. Don't leave them where it is to hot or too cold.
