Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot my 1971 6 hp Johnson outboard. It starts with one or two pulls and runs Great for a while at low speed and Full throttle, but after trolling for a while it acts like it's running out of gas or over choked. Any help would be...
Hello to everyone,
The tachometer on my 92 force 150 hp quit working and I was wondering what are some things to check that could cause that? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Well, great news, I found the problem. I had turned the shift cable clamp upside down, and fastened it up that way, and it was jamming up, preventing the shifter to move to the forward position. After correcting that it shifts nice and smooth now!
Yes, it shifts into both forward and reverse. I was able to get some help from my wife and when she worked the remote control, I was back at the motor and noticed that the interlock lever seem to block the movement of the tower year to keep it from rotating in order to accelerate. When going in...

I have another question for you guys though, I pressure tested the replacement lower unit with the oil drained out of the gear case and the gear case held seven psi, but anything over that leaked out of the...
Yeah, that’s for sure! I am very handy, but I don’t think I’ve got the tools to do a proper seal job and tear down. I found a decent sounding used lower unit on eBay and the pressure test numbers sound good but I’m not sure it will work. Here are some photos, please let me know if you think it...
I have a 1992 Force 150 hp outboard. At the end of the season I went to drain the gear oil and only some water drained out and less than an ounce of oil. I pulled off the lower unit and the lower unit seem to be damaged and would not hold any pressure at all. Since the seals were shot and almost...
