    flushing question

    I bought a 2007 Johnson 9.9 which is the same as the Suzuki DF10. I bought the recommended flushing attachment from a BRP dealer, part #5031537. I can't figure out how to attach it to a hose? Obviously, you remove the flushing screw from the lower unit and screw one end in. But the other end is...

    Kicker height mounting

    I have a 22' boat with almost no deadrise at the 19 inch transom. I bought a new Johnson/(Suz.) 9.9 4 stroke long shaft kicker, principally for trolling. I am designing a fixed transom jack plate with 6 inch setback. To get the motor to it's best operational height I am shooting for getting the...

    thinking new T6 or N6 2 cyl vs 1 four stroke?

    is their a real benefit to 2 cyls vs 1 in Tohotsu? Are these good motors for a high hour trolling motor/kicker for a large boat (3000# loaded) for displacement speeds? chris

    embarassing question 86 J8

    I cleaned my carb and i can't remember which hose goes to which nipple. One leads into the primer, the other comes from the fuel pump. Which one goes to the lower nipple at the bottom of the float chamber? I can't find a viable answer in my manual. thank you, chris

    compression small johnson 86 8hp

    What should the compression be on one of these that has just been overhauled? I can't find it in my manual. I just ran a cold test on mine at 85 and 90. While they're not that far apart, they both seem awfully low compared to other outboards i have tested. Is it about time for an overhaul...

    Timing problem maybe?

    i have an 86 johnson 8. it was running ok but i decided to rebuild the carb. now i can start it ok, and rev it ok for a few seconds, but then it just dies quickly at higher revs. i think, in trying to sync it, i may have goofed up the timing. but i can't get a gun on it before it dies out...

    stator?

    after months of working on my 98 J15 4 stroke with no spark, i found the stator to be slightly out of ohm spec. so, i ordered a new one from iboats and it came today and, well, it's way further outside the specs than the old one! it's a darned 3 piece ignition system! rats, this is driving me...

    98 J15 Stator

    all ohm tests on the stator are within spec, yet i can't get more than 8.4volts out of it on the rope crank. (spec should be north of 70volts). cranking volt tests on the brown leads seem to show some leakage to the negative leads indicating a probable stator short. The manual says either to...

    Really confuzzzzzed!

    I have a 98 Johnson 4 stroke rope start. The codes are FRLECM which I read as 4Stroke;Rope Start;Long(20)shaft;98;M production run the first thumbnail is the actual motor, with the plate on it.
