Hi Guys,
I have this problem and its doing my head in. Low power on bottom cylinder. Have tried everything I know of to try and isolate this problem. Motor starts ok and will run ok. Last couple of times I had it out it will run ok at idle and well at high RPM's then will suddenly drop the...
It runs cool with the thermo out so I'm assuming its getting water in. With the thermo in its red hot after about 5 mins. Way too hot. Burning fingers and removing finger prints. I've had the water cover off a few times now and have run it with and without the thermo. checked the gasket and...
Hi there,
I recently acquired a little 1974 15hp Johnson. After checking it all out and adding a few missing parts. I was ready to test in my barrel. Nothing worked first go. After a carb kit and points clean/adjust I had it running smoothly. It was however getting a little hot. Id already...
Hi there,
Was doing some work on an old 1975 15hp Jonson motor. Got it up and running and had an issue with the fuel pump. Got a kit and rebuilt it. In the meantime the mounting screws for the pump have vanished. Anyone know what thread size etc these might be.
Many thanks

Picked motor up as a cheap motor needing some work. Seems to start and run ok, pumps water out the pee hole. After running for maybe 5mins on trolly in idle with muffs seems to be getting very hot. (cant hold hand on heads...
Hey guys,
Anyone know if it is possible to add electric tilt/trim to an old early 70's 60-65HP Johnson. It currently doesnt have one only a single ram between motor and transom. It looks like there may have been a second ram at one stage but it has rusted off. Was there ever an original or...
Hi,
Probably a dumb question. I recently aquired this old motor and it seemed to be lacking any water output on muffs. So not knowing how bad this thing was thought I would pull the lower unit and check water pump etc. Lower unit was full of sand silt, water etc and I wondered if this should be...
Hi,
I have an old Johnson 60 hp hydro-electric drive motor that has not been started in a while and I no longer have the key. I wanted to replace the ignition switch so I have the keys. Before I order anything is there a way to tell what year/model the motor is to help in getting the correct...
