I got this motor at a auction. The toe on the lower unit, which protects the prop, has been broken off. but the lower unit is sold. The motor appears it has been used very little. I took out the sparkplugs and they are new, no signs of use.
Problem is I have no spark. The kill switch wires...
I have a prop I got at an auction which is a 335933 (13 1/8 x21) . It has 15 spines How do I get this to fit a Johnson 65 hp? Also it has a chip about 1/4 x 1/8 will that have to be repaired, if so who can do that. Local machine shop?
I put in a new water pump about 3 weeks ago. It ran okay and the cylinders were cool to the touch after serveral minutes. I changed to a new prop from a 13x19 to 13 3/8 x 17 to get out of the hole better to pull grandkids. This may not have caused the problem.
First day out ran great. Second...
I have a 1977 85HP which has a 13 1/4 x 19 prop. I bought it about 6 mo ago so know little about the performance.
I took out the grandkids to pull on a tube behind the boat and it is very slow getting out of the "hole". Runs like a "scalded dog" after it gets up on top.
Now they are wanting...

I cleaned out my carburetors last week and had my engine running great. It would pull back the skin on my cheeks.
I took the grandkids out today and it had no power. It would start, put when I shoved down the throtle it would not go any faster. I had two small boys and a girl in the boat. Not...
I have a 1977 Evinrude 85hp motor I just bought. I replaced the fuel pump cleaned out the carburetor and let Seafoam set in it overnight. and now it runs like a "scaulded dog" with the water mufflers. I siphoned out the gas and put in fresh gas with Seafoam and let it run for 15 min while I...
I have a 1969 20hp Johnson. I installed an electric start motor on it.
Now the drive gear on the motor will not go all the way back down.
I took a screwdriver and held the gear down to keep the teeth from hitting when it was running.
I sprayed with WD40 and worked the drive gear on the motor...
I have a 1983 Mercury. When I hold the sparkplug and hit the start, I don't see or feel any spark.
Where do I start to test where the problem is. I looked under the flywheel but did not see anything unusual.
I see the two coils and looks like an electrical box with wires coming out but don't...
I followed the instructions at http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/Rebuilding_fuelpump.htm
But when I finished I cannot blow thru either of the spouts.
I rotated the outer gas imput 1/4 turn and I can blow thru both.
But can't get the right combination blow thru input but not back thru output.
I have a 1972 Evinrude when I spray WD-40 in the car, it starts but stopes in about 15-30 seconds.
I rebuilt the fuel pump. How do I test it. If I disconect from the car and the spray WD40 into the car, should I see a constant stream of gas coming out the disconnected hose?
There is presure...
