I cannot seem to get my 71' Johnson 9.5 to idle. I've cleaned the carb 4 times, cleaned fuel filter, changed all fuel lines (including new external lines and bulb to my tank), changed plugs, and tested all the components under the flywheel. The lean/rich knob on the motor seems to help minimal...
I'm new to outboards but know enough to tinker with the motor. I've posted a few post so far about my 71' Johnson 9.5hp not idling well. I have cleaned the carb 4 times, adjusted the lean/rich knob (has no effect it seems on the shudder idle problem), change the impeller (not that is has much to...
I rebuild the carb on my 71 johnson 9.5 and I noticed there was a spring type piece that I didnt know where it went (from my carb rebuild kit). I believe it goes with the needle and seat somewhere? Here is a link to what peice of metal (sping?) I am talking about...
My 71' Johnson 9.5hp will not idle worth a darn... I see my fuel filter is leaking gas/oil. I tried to replace the gasket with a new homemade gasket (same cork looking material I picked up at the auto parts store) and it still didn't correct the leak. Do they sell new fuel filter gasket kits?? I...
Just picked up a 71' Johnson 9.5 and I finally got around to testing this motor in a barrel. Before I tested it, I replaced the water pump, cleaned carb., and new plugs. It started on the first few pulls and I noticed it would run smooth at medium to high throttle in neutral but when I lowered...
I've read many threads on here about painting outboards but I have a few of my own questions.
I see no problems with painting the engine hood (cowling) because it can be taken off the motor easily.
The question I have is....Do I Need to take the covers off of the lower part of the outboard...
I just picked up a 71' Johnson 9.5hp and I am going to change the lower unit oil. I picked up some Quicksliver SAE 90 gear lube and I noticed it was a blue color and the old oil that came out of the gear case was just normal oil color. Kinda seems like a weird question but Can I use this SAE 90...
I picked up a 71' Johnson 9.5HP the other day and the pull starter was broke off. I got around to putting a new pull start rope back on the motor tonight. I then gave it a few pulls to make sure the rope is good and I noticed it was very hard to get the flywheel to spin. It kind of went in pumps...
Hey all, I picked up a Johnson 71' 9.5HP outboard and she needs some TLC. I'm new to outboard motors just like I am new to this site. I've learned a lot so far by just doing research on this site.
With that being said... I want to work on this motor (check/clean carb, fuel up, water pump...
