    Get to half throttle then SLIP

    I have a 1967 9.5 hp Johnson. Starts up good. Pushes the boat fine until I get the throttle turned to about half way. Then it seems like it slips, boat slows down, and the engine revs up really high. If I turn the throttle back down below half way, it picks back up again and drives fine. I...

    Motor Won't Start after pulling apart carb

    I own a 1967 9.5 hp Johnson. First time out this year, it wouldn't run while in forward without the choke, and with the choke it only ran shortly before it died. I pulled the carb and float chamber off, they were clean as could be. So I just put new gaskets on them. I also put a new gasket...

    Trouble Removing Float Chamber

    I took my boat out once so far, 67' 9.5 hp Johnson, and the motor would sputter and die in forward, and run crappy with the choke pulled out. So I bought a carb repair kit, assuming I'd have to clean the carb. So I took the carb out, and it actually looks pretty darn clean (pic 1). The float...

    One carb kit or two?

    I have a 1967 9.5 hp Johnson. It's running weird, runs ok in neutral and reverse, but in forward it dies, unless I pull the choke, then it bogs up and down. So, it's not getting gas. I was dumb and didn't clean the carbs at the end of last year, so I'm assuming I need to do a carb rebuild...

    '67 Johnson Running Problem

    I have a 1967 Johnson 9.5 hp outboard. I took it out for the first time this year yesterday and it did not run well. It would start great on the first pull every time, with the choke. It would run fine in neutral and reverse, but not in forward. In forward, it would not run without the...

    '67 Johnson Manual?

    I have a 1967 9.5 hp Johnson, and I want to get a manual for it. They have two different brands on here, and I have no clue which one would be better. They have one by Ken Cook Co. and one by Seloc that covers a big range of models. Which one would be better to get...

    Getting my '62 outboard ready for the spring

    So I am totally new to working on boat motors. I have a 1962 9.5 hp johnson outboard that I got last year. What do I need to do to get it ready for this spring? The only thing I really know is changing the oil. Is there only a lower oil unit? And what kind of oil should I put in there? I was an...

    Do anything to outboard for the winter?

    I have a 1962 Johnson 9.5 hp outboard, first boat motor of any kind I've owned. For the winter I'm putting it in my basement to keep it warm so I don't have to winterize it. Is there anything else I should do to it for the winter? Thanks.

    Old Johnson-Prop doesn't spin in forward

    I have an old 9.5 Johnson outboard, not sure which year but think 60s or 70s (any good way to find out?). Went to use it today, backed out just fine, but when I switched to forward I got nothing. I popped the top off and looked at the cable up at the top near the shifting switch, it appeard to...

    Boat Registration Problem

    I just bought a 14' aluminum fishing boat from a guy in Wisconsin, I live in Illinois. It is registered under his name until 2011 in Wisconsin. There is no title because Wisconsin does not require them for boats under 16'. The problem is I don't have the guys registration card for the boat...
