    Fogging oil connector 3-cyl 70HP

    Hello, What kind of adapter do you guys use to connect the spray-can with fogging oil to the valve on the SB side of a -97 Johnson 70 carb 2-stroke? As far as I can see it is the same type of connector as a tyre-valve? Also, any good tips on how to empty the carbs in the simplest way? I really...

    Rebuilding gearcase on 97 70hp Johnson

    So my bad luck with this engine continues. After about 25 hours of operation with the boat since I bought it the engine begun to make a lot of noise, I immediately shut it down and paddled to the nearest ramp (which luckily was only 15 min of paddling away). When spinning the prop i could feel...

    VRO using small amount of oil, 70hp-97

I?m doing 34mph according to the GPS at 5400 RPM at WOT. The RPM seems a bit low, but when I calculate the slip its 5%, is this actually possible or...

I´m considering to buy...

    What´s worth saving on broken Johnson 35 -78?

    Hello! I have an old Johnson which has served the family well since 78, but late this summer it gave up, the lower unit was broken (hopping out of gear) and it was not possible to open it without destroying the lower unit (has been in salt-water every summer since 78 )... Sad but true, it has...
