    1989 Johnson 120 no down tilt

    Yesterday I was installing my transom saver, I must have put too much pressure down. I raised it up to relieve some pressure and when I pressed the down button, nothing happened, no movement or sound. I tried all three switches. It will move upward fine. I think I must have blown a fuse or...

I just decided to see about getting it running. This thing looks like it has had about 20 trips on it. I don't think it has...

    Stop Button

    I just got finished taking three OLD late 60's, early 70's 9.8 motors and making one "running" motor. I am using a powerhead that has the ignition under the flywheel, no coils.

    2 stroke vs. 4 stroke

    I was looking at some new 15hp motors. The salesman said the 4 stroke was not as fast in an empty boat but just as fast or faster with a loaded down boat, 14' jon boat with 2 or 3 people in it. Any truth to that?
