Hi Evinrude fellas,
just bought low hours E-tec 40 from 2008...great engine but revs are stuck at 2000 rpm on the tachometer.
Other signal lamps seems to work ok
Is there any way to fix it
thanks

Does the motor run up ok when on the boat but that tach stays at 2000 or won't the motor go any faster than 2000 rpm?
If the motor is started with the throttle even slightly open, it will not accelerate. It is important that the throttle be completely closed when starting.

also trim gauge is dead
Is this fixable or new gauges?

The wiring to the gauges will have to be checked first to be sure there is 12V going to the gauge to power it and to make sure the gauge receives the proper signal to move the needle.
If it does, then the gauge would need replacement.

checked everything by electrician, gauge probably, it's yellow inside so water leak inside for sure
**bleep**, can't look at that
is it worth to get new gauge?
