Can someone tell me if this spring is really needed and what is it's purpose. I remove my carbs for cleaning and forgot to put it on but doesnt look like it does much to me. Thanks..... 0314807 - SPRING, NLA
Hello all, I just have a quick question. I bought a new rubber gasket for the cowling on my 1975 70hp johnson and when I installed it on the cowling and snapped the cowling onto the motor I noticed that the cowling seems to be a little to wide in the middle on each side. The sides of the cowling...
Ok I am going to repaint my 1975 johnson 70hp to the johnson white I hate the green they used back then. I am going to use the Moeller spray paint but they have 3 different johnson white paints. Here they are
Johnson White 1964-1976
Johnson White 1971-1979
Johnson White 1972-2004

Can anyone tell me if this paint is enamel or lacquer paint? Im thinking about going with the 77174 or the 777175 but need to know what kind of paint they are. Thank you in advance.....
Hello, hope you guys can give me some opinons on this problem I found. My 40hp johnson hasnt been idleing very good in gear kinda like it was knocking and wanting to die but didn't. I got to looking around on the motor and noticed gas all around the primer so I took it off and the top has a big...
Will a mercury 50hp 1973 lower unit fit a 1977 mercury 70hp motor? From looking at parts list they look like the same lower units and have the same part numbers. Thanks in advance for your help.
Does anyone know if a johnson/evinrude 70hp outboard motor has the same bolt pattern as a 1993 40hp johnson. Thinking and swapping the 40hp johnson with a 70hp johnson and dont want to drill new bolting holes.
Anyone have any problems with the newer style (white floats) in the new carb kits. I bought two kits to do both carbs and it just seems like they don't float as good and shut the gas off like the older bigger floats. This was on a 1983 mercury 80hp inline motor.
Just got this motor back together and she seems to run pretty good except for the carbs. The number 4 cylinder seems to be flooding out pretty bad when I pull the plug and the bottom carb will gather gas and it will run out of the throat after sitting for about 10min. I also noticed that the...
Hey guys, What is the best way to break in a newly rebuilt powerhead. This is a Mercury 1983 80hp inline. Just wanted to get some ideas before starting her up. Don't want to do any damage. Thanks in advance.....
Ok guys let's beat the horse one more time on this subject so I can make sure I got this right. I have a 1983 Mercury 80hp and the carb cover says to set WOT timing at 30* BTDC at cranking speed of 300 rpm which is 27* at 5500 rpm running. So from that I get doing the static timing you will drop...
