    1967 60hp Johnson- stuck in neutral

    Motor will not go into reverse or forward. It was working fine the last time out, although I had to adjust the cable as it seemed to be too loose. Can not move the shifter at motor by hand. Help!

    Loss of spark under load

    Have a 1967 60 hp Seahorse (VXL-13A) that will start and idle but boggs down under load. Was told by a marine mechanic that it was losing voltage and thus spark at open throttle.

    67' 60hp Johnson adjustment knobs?

    When looking from the front of the powerhead, there is a small "door" that opens into the motor that has a chock lever and two adjusting knobs. Are these the slow speed adjusting "needles" that I hear about? If so, how do I adjust them to optimize the motors fuel burning ability at lower speeds?

    1967 Johnson 60hp- stiff throttle

    I know it's an old boat and all, but is there anything I can do to make it easier and smoother to move the throttle lever? Are there grease fittings that I should be greasing? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    '67 Johnson 60hp Sea Horse- Flushing

    Is it alright to use a muff on this motor and if so which hole am I covering? (I know it's the stupid question of the day) Just don't want to damage the motor. My guess is its the larger hole in the upper part of the lower unit on the left side.

    1962 Evinrude

    would a 1962 Evindude 60hp mechanical shift be a compatible replacement for a 1967 60hp Johnson Electric Sea horse? The motor is on a 1964 15ft Starcraft Ski Boat.
