Johnson 200 looper fire

I somehow had an engine fire last weekend, and didnt know it till I flushed the motor and found gas running down the side. 3 of the carburators, the inside of the air silencer and the vaccum lines were melted. I bought and rebuilt 225 carbs, but have no idea how or where the vacccum lines are supposed to run and the Clymer manual doesnt show them. If I am posting in the wrong area please let me know. This is a great site, and I dont want to offend.

Poolman, no worries. Hopefully someone will be able to help you out. I had a very extensive shop manual for the old Evinrude that I had a couple years ago, but gave it to the guy that bought the boat. If nobody's able to help you, I would think that an Evinrude service dealer should be able to help you out and possibly print you a diagram of the connections.

Poolman - you are posting in the wrong area, but that is OK because most folks do that anyway. Since you asked - the repairs forum would be the best for this topic.

Sorry to hear about your mishap, although it sounds like it could have been worse -- your v20 could have got hurt. ;)

CB'S suggestion about getting a print out from a friendly omc (bombardier) parts dept. fellow is your best bet.

On the home page, there is a link to a site called iboats.com that has great forums for engine repairs of all makes. You may want to check this out for further tech help, or just to investigate the cause of your fire or see if others had the same problem.

Good luck, stay safe and have fun. :)
