Hello
I have a QD-15 10hp Johnson with a lower unit issue. The pins that hold the gears in place are broke. Someone tried to correct this problem by drilling another hole and put a pin in that but that one broke. I want to replace that housing and found one from a QD-14 10hp. Would that work in...
Hello all
I hope I’m in the right forum for this. I want to change the oil in my Yamaha 9.9hp outboard motor. I was told to use marine 10w30 oil. What is the difference between that oil and regular 10w30 motor oil?
Thanks,
Gary
Hello all
I have a 1939 1.8hp Johnson that has a a knob on top of the fuel cap. Do I need to have that open when I start the motor? If so do I need to close it after the motor starts?
I’ve seen that style of gas cap on several type of older motors. Would it be the same on any motor that has...
I got that lower unit off and removed the impeller. Can I use an impeller from a 1958 5.5hp Johnson? I have one and it looks similar to the one I removed.
Hello
Hopefully I’m in the right place for this. I have a 1962 5hp Sea King that needs a water pump replaced. Do I need to remove the power head to drop the lower unit to get to the water pump? I saw a video where the lower unit was dropped a few inches and then had bolts removed from the shift...
I turned them all the way in then turned each about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn out and then tried adjusting them after the motor is running to try and smooth it out but it usually stalled out when I did that.
I'm working on a 1954 10hp Johnson. It use to run really well but it has sat for some time now. It was hard to start and I cleaned the carb and replaced the points and it now starts more easily but it runs rough. When it stops smoke comes out the carb. I don't remember seeing that before. What...
Thanks for the replies. It was interesting reading. I've work on a few motors and have had some oil in the water but not to the degree you see in the pictures. When I began work on this motor, I notice that the hose that goes from the top of the motor to bottom was dry rotted so I replaced it...
I'm working on this 1958 7.5hp Johnson. It starts up OK but after about 30-60 seconds it starts to run rough at any speed and if I leave the throttle alone, the speed will increase and then decrease and back and forth like that then will eventually stall out and the throttle does not move where...
Hello all
I’m working on a 1967 9.8hp mercury and I took the flywheel off and lost the nut. No idea where it went. Can anyone tell me what the thread size is so I can go to hardware store to get another one?
Thanks
