E70ELCOS I have this motor and am considering parting it out or rebuilding it and using it on my boat. I have not run it myself, just got it but the previous owner had some trouble with it recently. Without running it I pulled out the spark plugs, removed the kill tether and sprayed fogging...
2002 3.7L KJ , 45K miles. I just changed the oil and filter and put in Mobil-1 truck and SUV synthetic oil. I remember something about changing the filter again soon because of loosening deposits or something like that? Am I going to get leaks rattles or anything? My valvetrain seemed a...
I've got my carbs apart for cleaning/rebuilding due to a flooding problem I had. I believe a misadjusted float was the culprit. However I found another interesting issue:
The high speed and intermediate speed orifices are not the same on both carbs.
The upper carb is jetted 47D high and 33...
40hp Johnson, 1991.
The red primer valve lever on my motor is not marked with 'run' and 'prime'. Which position is which? I cannot find any indication in my operator manual or my factory service manual. In position 2 the throttle/timing mechanism hits the lever so I am assuming position 1...
Last post I was looking for a stainless prop for my 15.5' Javelin. I've since purchased a Stiletto Triad for it. With my OMC aluminum 17" pitch prop I was getting 33mph@5600rpm at best efficiency. With the stainless I am getting 33mph@5400rpm at best efficiency. To determine best efficiency...
Can I tell the shaft length of an outboard from the model #? Would an Evinrude E70TLEND be standard shaft length? And would standard be about 18" from top of transom to anti-vent plate? In the world of 70hp motors what is short, long, and extra long shaft?
It seems nobody speaks the same...
I'd like to fit my 1993 2cyl 2stroke 40hp Johnson with a stainless prop that provides some lift. I just got the motor and boat with 2 aluminum props and haven't even tested them both out but would like to start doing the research now for improving it. I'd like to go stainless if possible...
Hi, I'm in need of opinions on replacing a bent prop shaft on a '96 Johnson 115hp v-4. What typically gets replaced other than the shaft? What kind of parts and labor can I expect this to cost typically? The prop found a rock which resulted in the bent shaft, it is visibly bent when spinning...
I have a Johnson outboard model HD 25 ser# 554695 that belonged to my grandfather. It has not been run in 20 years or more. My father says it has a bad coil as it would run until warm then quit but not seize. The old coil is out but I have it.<br /><br />Where can I find a new coil?<br /><br...
This Summer I decided I needed to try adding some sort of spray rail to my little fiberglass fishing boat in order to stay dryer while motoring in the wind and chop. I wanted to experiment with changing the shape of the stern some also as this boat has a round chine which is not good for...
Last Saturday morning we went out for Walleye using live minnows on wire hooks in a reservoir lake. We caught and released many fish in one of which I left a red Tru-turn aberdeen hook because it was hooked deep. Another fish broke a knot and kept my partner's orange Gamakatsu hook. I was a...
I recently purchased a Gamo Shadow 1000 pellet rifle for home pest control (residential neighborhood). It is a .177 cal 1000 fps break-barrel action. I have an air rifle scope with a recoil block mounted. It has a somewhat adjustable trigger pull.<br /><br />I've got it sighted in as close as...
Hi all, I've been wondering for a while if there are any good high performance aluminum boats out there. Seems like all the Gucci stuff is glass. With the exception of the aluminum chambered boat, which is awesome. (Who makes that BTW?)<br /><br />Around here where the river runs seriously...
Hi all, man this board got busy! I'll add to the soup too. Just ran the motor for the first time this season like everyone else. I ran it on muffs in the driveway for around 10 minutes to burn off the fog oil and check everything else out. After it was warmed up a little I noticed that the...
