    Funny lower unit situation

    Puzzling question here guys... When I had drained my lower gear unit, the first few seconds consisted of all water draining out of the lower screw. What was left was only a few ounces of gear oil, but the oil was still greenish black, as if no water immulsion had occured. I just hooked up a...

I ordered new throttle lever retaining clips, but wanted to buy...

    Carb Guidance to fix cough/sneeze at idle.

    Powerpack capable of ruining coils?

    Hey guys, I got my 25hp 86 johnson running smooth, but I wanted to ask a little question before I sell someone a bad powerpack. I had a bad coil, replaced it, and then still had a bogging problem, which I falsely diagnosed as a bad powerpack (it was an air leak). Thus, I have two powerpacks. The...

    Motor stalls when turning

    Hey guys, I have been having fits with this engine and making baby steps. Today I fixed what I assume was an air leak and the boat was running very good. However, if left at high rpm in turns the motor still stalls. I have clear hose installed right now (air leak test) and did not see air...

    Quick spark plug gap question

    Hey guys, I want to check my outboard for a specific gap... I believe its 7/16's inch. I bought an OEM ignition tester that is measured in 10,20,30 increments, so I assumed I'd just use a ruler... but my question is, do I measure 7/16" from gap end to end? The reason why I ask is because the...
