    Wire harness stuck inside the wiring conduit and I can't run any cable through it.

    I have a 2001 dusky 20'3 center console. I was checking the water pressure gauge and found out no water was reaching it. This is the second time that damn tube breaks. I tried to run another tube through the wiring conduit, but I can't snake a wire through there. I had little wiring sitting in...

    583117 stator from a 1985 johnson 200 hp. No regulator voltage.

    Hi guys, I'm trying to help a friend with a stator problem. Basically the system is not chargning. We get 12 volts at the batteries. We know it's not the regulator because he swapped it out. The engine fires up fine , but it runs on batteries only. I've measured the two yellows and get no...

    433000 float chamber. Is there an aluminum capatible part?

    Every year or so I have to change the float assembly on 2 or so carbs ( not always the same ones) because they either crack on the bottom or start to warp on the sides. I live in s. Fla so it's super hot down here during the summer. Can just imagine how hot it must get under the cowl. I'm tired...

    2001 Johnson 150 bucking at around 2500 rpm after 1 hr of running

    I took my boat out yesterday. Had almost a full tank from before Winter , so I wanted to run out the gas before I started to put some new gas in. The engine ran fine for over an 1 at 4k rpm. I ran it up and down the bay. As I was headed in... I decided to speed up a little to 5k. All of a...

    Gasket on the screw plug(FLOAT CHAMBER ASSY) in front of the high speed orifice

    has apparently broken or deteriorated due to the help from ethanol in the gas. I'm getting tiny little drops coming from the plug ( on two of my carbs) even though the nut is tight. What I wanna ask you guys is....should I just replace the o-ring or that is a warning that I should just buy six...

    I have a Moeller fuel tank. model FT6203-R4. http://www.moellermarine.com/oem/fuel_tanks My fuel gauge on my boat now says full all the time when I know it's not the case. I run normally about 1/2 a day and come back always with my fuel half full, but the need shows "full". I took of the wire...

    2001 2 stroke v60 150 backfire??

    I haven't been able to get out in like 2 months. I usually start my engine once a week. Last two times...I've had a single back fire on the initial start. I let her warm up and shut her down. On the warm up she revs down(900rpm) as the temp comes up. She reaches normal operating temp and stays...

    Temp gauge not working and stuck in Quickstart.

    It started when I flushed my engine after the last time out. I got home and flushed the engine as usual. Since it was hot from running on the ocean.... it ran fine, but I noticed my temp gauge was not registering. Today I started the engine cold and waited. My gauge didn't go up. The engine was...

    opinions Suzuki vs Mercury 150s

    I'm looking into getting a new boat. I'm thinking of powering it with twin 150's. I here a lot about the new Suzuki 4 stroke, but then again...I like two stroke engines and the Mercury opti's are really nice. Any comments would be very appreciated. Don't be afraid to throw Yamaha in. What is...

    Two questions for a 71 johnson 20 hp.

    Question 1. Guide spring lever. I've attached an image so you guys can see it. It's not doing anything except hitting against the spinning part of the stator. What is that spring( see "clip" ) supposed to be doing? Question 2. This engine is suppose to have a shorting switch. It didn't have one...

    The prop shaft on a small engine I have has some pitting where the seal rubs. The guy at the machine shop can drop/put a sleeve on it(shave down the shaft and press a new one to the same size). Question is...can I use 304SS? He was telling me that the prop shaft is a different material cause...

    ? on removing the seal on a 71 20hp Johnson gear case assembly.

    I attached the pic. Don't know what happened to the link thingy we used to have. Anyway....I'm resealing my lower unit. Can the seal on the inside be removed? It looks like there is a cap that can be removed but I don't want to take a screw driver to it yet. I looked through Brp's website and...

    I have a 71 20hp johnson that I've been putting back together. Runs like a champ. I have the hand starter off cause I'm gonna put a new cable. I noticed my model only has one paw.:'( Could I make one out of Stainless Steel? Or having something like that underneath there is dangerous? I"m...
