    1975 Johnson 25 won't run above idle in gear under a load.

    Will the throttle go to the fast setting? If not linkage needs adjusting

    Thanks Racerone and everyone else that offered help. Got the new powerpack in and installed it today and all was good! Runs great and starts right off.

    I checked all wires but everything looked good. Still waiting for the power pack to arrive.

    Went through the wires this am and found no worn or or grounded wires. It is for sure the kill switch wire that I had disconnected. Maybe the power pack was just on its way out and now went. There is one wire that I am curious about that comes out of the powerpack. The one that goes into the...

    It was one of the two that comes out of the throttle cable housing. Looks to be it as there are only the two that come from the switch. I agree on it being weird. I could undertand it more if it was shutting down on its own.

    No, it will run till I shut it off. It just doesn't want to start again. Seems strange to me doing that? First I checked for spark was this morning being I had it at home. First thing I thought of was the kill switch shorting so I disconnected one wire from it off the top coil where it connects...

    It doesnt want to start from a cold start. Like when I get to the lake. Primer is working then it seems because gas does squirt in. Only reason I pumped it more was because it never fired so thought it might need more. I am used to a normal choke on my old outboards so did some reading on how to...

    1996 Evinrude 25hp E25REDA

    I have tried it by just pulling it out and pushing it in once and no go. Then pump a couple times and still nothing. Pumped up to 4 or 5 times. Tried it with 1 pump then half way in. Didnt even want to fire. Eventually it has started but after running awhile and stopping its back to the no...

    I would have thought with a broken key it would still have spark but at the wrong time?

    I managed to find a factory one and went ahead and ordered it, I hope its the 9 out of 10. Wish I knew how to test!

    I see the factory part shows unavailable. Sierra brand ok to use?

    I have had a hard time starting this motor. Compression is 117 and 115. After many try's it will start and runs great. Shut it off and it may start or might take another 20 pulls on the recoil to get it going. I decided to check the compression and spark this mourning and found no spark...

    Tohatsu MFS20E-FI

    I have the 20 and just use it as it came but I always run premium fuel with a bit of Sea Foam. Mine is a 2018 and never a problem

    What would you pay for a parts motor

    If I needed the parts I would be willing to pay more. If you had a long shaft and wanted to convert to a short just the driveshaft used is around a 125 on ebay. Parts motor has a good prop its a bonus. Lots of usable parts that will go from one to another. In other words I would go $25 to $300...
