Just for the sake of information, not all of the engines need or have the water flow restricter. Only those with certain VSTs. There was a service bulletin put out by Evinrude concerning the VSTs (an updated version for certain engines) and the kit, which included the restricter.
@@FroggysGoldProspecting Sorry, I must have missed where anyone asked for your opinion. . . But, apparently you believe it is very, very important and must be shared. . .
FRERABURP who the hell asked for you opinion? I still run two 90 hp Etecs and as a retired boater I can assure you that my etecs outperform any other outboard I have ever used. I just swapped out a 90hp merc 4 stroke for an Etec and boat is now awesome. If you ever get the chance to go for a boat ride make sure it has an Etec
@@stevel1451 ok fantastic mr butthurt, who the hell asked for your life story? anything else you need to get off your chest we’re all here for you, which part of America are you from?
@@FroggysGoldProspecting Mine runs perfect. Another just sold with 12 thousand hours off a commercial oyster boat. Still runs great! So perhaps you don't know what you're talking about.
So on my two-year-old 90 hp Evinrude ETEC❤️🔥 I EVERY TIME I start the motor I wanna make sure it’s pumping and with that telltale stream come straight out behind the motor. You have to walk back in the boat to see it so what I did as I bought One 8th inch threaded fitting and in that I put a piece of copper tubing that was 2 inches long and I bent it and 90° so I have it pissing water six or 8 feet out to the right or left side of my boat whatever side I wanted it on, so not only can I see it easily I can hear it hitting the water so I know it’s pumping anyway just my thought! Set my mind at ease every time I start the motor I KNOW IT’S PUMPING❤️🔥
@@CharlotteHarborFisherman found the part at my local mechanic. I was having problems making a long run then all a sudden I would get a over temp alarm shut down start it back up and off again. Installed the part this weekend before our tournament and made several long runs and never got the alarm all weekend. I can't tell you how many times I've had the boat in the shop too for all these same problems and it turns out to be this exact part.........lol Gotta love it. Glad I found your video
@@shaneeasterberg8256 glad I could help. I wish somebody would’ve had this posted for me. Your comment sounds exactly like me pulling my hair out for like two years dealing with that problem.
nice video I'm considering attaching a garden hose water dispenser (the kind w/ squeeze handle it's a 90*) so I can observe the telltale. the dispenser wouldn't restrict flow. it would look getto an probaly hangup on fishing line but sure would be nice to see the pee.
Thank you for the video young man , I do have a 08 evinrude 90HP etc that apparently does not have that small part you just install on your engine , could you please share that part number or where I can get it , I do understand that evinrude doesn’t make those engines anymore
Hi so what was the issue on my 50 etac change the vst was dirty black after that I can go backwards good but going forward it what to t stalls put it to neutral it idle good still trying to figure out the problem
How do you flush your motor since you leave it in the water. And they where supposed to sell that property for millions I wonder if the contract fell through.
It is only used on engines with the newer / updated Vapor Separator that has the enclosed fuel pump. It is needed to help cool it. It is included with the new style vapor separator kit.
Your right, I have two etecs and the newer one with the larger combined VS has a restrictor, the earlier engine with the separated VS has no restrictor
I just changed that little plug to the gray flush out plug and when I was out it struggled a few times to start. I had to floor it and the oil light came in and it's full. It went out after a minute or so. Do you think it could be from changing that flush out plug.
I have no idea if it wasn’t broke before I wouldn’t try to fix it. But that gray flush out plug is not meant to be run. I don’t think I’m definitely not a mechanic.
Thankyou for that I'm from Downunder and have 175 etec 2007 mod .when l start the engine and idle for a couple of minutes the overheat alarm goes off .l also dont have a restrictor on my motor .but l will definitely buy one now once again Thankyou
Waterflow Restrictor is 360520. However, there is an o ring that has to go in first, PN 360529. These parts come included with the new style Vapor Separator Kit. PN 5010818. When they changed the style and manufacture of the VS they apparently decided the waterflow needed to be slowed to allow it to cool better. If you do not have the new style VS, then you are not supposed to run the restrictor.

Just for the sake of information I would not let anyone even give me an evinrude let alone would I pay for one, what a piece of sh1t those things are.

Where did you get the part, my Etec is missing that exact piece
From the local dealer

I did that for a while but it might not be the perfect amount of flow to cool the engine

@@elguaguero23 I don’t know the number but I think someone left it in the comment section. Thanks for watching

I have same problem with my 2006 115 Etec. By any chance to do you have part number for that fitting? Struggling to find it online to order.
Nvm I found it thanks to DolphinWatch comment below. This helps a lot! Hopefully this does the trick, thanks!
Ordered that telltale and been fine ever since. Just checking back to say thanks again!
How do you flush your motor since you leave it in the water. And they where supposed to sell that property for millions I wonder if the contract fell through.
Not sure about the place being sold. I flush it every trip with harbor water lol.
I have a similar 2006 90HP etec, but don’t see that part listed in any diagrams, mine also doesn’t have it, maybe it’s not included in our models?
could be I'm not sure
It is only used on engines with the newer / updated Vapor Separator that has the enclosed fuel pump. It is needed to help cool it. It is included with the new style vapor separator kit.
Your right, I have two etecs and the newer one with the larger combined VS has a restrictor, the earlier engine with the separated VS has no restrictor
My 2008 90 E-Tec I bought new. Must not have that in it from the factory. As its always just spilled water out. Never has put out a stream.
My 2010 has the restrictor and the 2008 doesn’t
What's your take on the 2015 Evinrude etec 115?
I’m not sure about that year but I like my 2009.
I just changed that little plug to the gray flush out plug and when I was out it struggled a few times to start. I had to floor it and the oil light came in and it's full. It went out after a minute or so. Do you think it could be from changing that flush out plug.
I have no idea if it wasn’t broke before I wouldn’t try to fix it. But that gray flush out plug is not meant to be run. I don’t think I’m definitely not a mechanic.
Thank you.
You're welcome
Whats the part number?
Not sure the dealer gave it to me
brp-360520 Restrictor & BRP-360529 O-ring
Thanks!

@@harrykantzidis6100 if it’s happening at idle you either have a bad pump or a bad thermostat.
Hei 🙂 do you have the partnr ?
No I don’t. Try looking up the tell tale assembly.

@@harveyfloyd6045 it is there to create back pressure……..
@@AAE-cg1il Yes. Thus "restrictor."
Same issue anyone with a BRP parts link ?
I couldn’t find a link but try calling an old etech dealer. I think someone found a link in the comment section.
