I have drive oil leaking out of my top bellows boot. I assume it is the seal around the shaft where it enters the outdrive. I would like to repair it myself but can not find a manual for anything newer than a 2012. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have been tinkering with this motor for months now.. I have several other threads for timing, carbs, and other issues.. I have replaced all the gaskets. Rebuilt the carbs completely but I still have a dead spot in acceleration. About 1/3-1/2 way through the throttle. If I hammer down off the...
I have a 1976 Johnson 70 hp that I have been nearly all the way through.. I have a lot to tell so please bare with me.. Rebuilt all 3 carbs several times. Disassembled exhaust plates and head. Lapped/resurfaced all plates, replaced all gaskets, new t-stat, water pump Assy and all.. I have 124...
I have had much help on this forum for my 76 Johnson 70hp and thought I finally had her figured out.. I've replaced fuel lines, found the right prop, rebuilt the carbs and much more.. Now just for giggles I pulled my plugs and 2 of the 3 have this white almost wet baby powder/snotty look on them...
1976 Johnson 70 hp will only idle with the high idle lever up. If I put it in gear it goes dead 75% of the time. If I make it to the high end it runs great. So I start the engine leave the high idle up for a few seconds and it dies about 5 seconds after I push it down. I have rebuilt the carbs...
The idle seems to fluctuate from perfect sometimes to where it gets so low it dies when I put it in gear.... Sometimes it runs perfect and will launch like a rocket.. Other times when the idle falls of if I am able to get it in gear and keep it running it has a dead spot in the carbs.. I have to...
I bought an 84 Lowe 16' boat with a 76 Johnson 70 hp. The boat starts and runs great in a barrel and on muffs.. The spark will jump over 5/8 of an inch and it has 124 psi on two cylinders and 120 on the 3rd cylinder. When i went to the lake it starts and runs great but it does not jump out of...
I bought a 2014 start craft with the volve 5.0 270 hp inboard.. The first start of the day it runs a the first bump of the key.. After I ride for 10 minutes or so and shut it off to swim or whatever it has to be turned over a good bit before it will start again.. Usually it takes about 5-6...
I lucked up and came across gutted out flat bottom on a nice trailer with a 1976 70 hp evinrude.. I got it for 400 bucks.. The lady said her husband had a good bit of work done on the engine last summer before he fell ill.. So I took the chance and bought it.. After I get it home and take the...
I purchased a 1985 Dixie ski boat last fall.. The engine ran flawless.. After I got home and started looking I noticed a trigger wire very brittle and on two strands of wire holding it together.. I opted to replace the trigger.. Now it won't start.. I am getting spark to all cylinders but it...
I have a 86 classic fifty 45 hp.. It has a real bad miss when powering up.. I replaced the stator, rectifier, plugs and wires.. I am getting fire on all 4 cylinders.. The manual states I should get 4 volts minimum when testing the trigger wires for voltage.. When I check them at idle I am...
I have installed new stator, rectifier, plugs, fully rebuilt carbs, all new fuel lines and fuel cell. I noticed today that I had water around the spark plugs.. Could this affect the way my motor runs??? I know the gasket leaks but how can it get inside the cylinders?? I also had water leaking...
