I recently purchased a new fuel pump and it didn't come with the water inlet and outlet fittings. It has the threaded holes for them but didn't have the fittings. I can't figure out how to get the fittings off of the old fuel pump. the lower one will never be able to screw out because of the...
I have a 55lb Bass Pro motor (PRW-T55/40B) that should have 5 forward and 2 reverse speeds. The 2 reverse and the 1st 3 forward speeds work fine, but then no increase when you turn to 4 or 5. Any thought on which component might be the culprit? Any thought on whether or not I can fix it? Thanks.
I am planning on installing a radar unit on my 23' Regulator hard t-top. I am likely going to go with the new broadband model BR24 (Simrad, Lowrance) which is a closed (versus open array) type unit. My question is around the degree of tilt this thing should have. It seems that a t-top will...
I have removed the 6 bolts on the lower unit and it will drop down about 1 to 1 1/2", but won't seem to come off. Is there something else holding it? Thank you.
I am considering swapping my 1994 Johnson 225 (1,400 hours and running good) for a 2000 Evinrude 225 (1,000 hours and seemingly running good). All of the maintenance records are there and it seems as though the Evinrude has been well cared for. The guy is asking $2,900 for the newer motor...
I have a 1999 8HP Johnson and pulled the lower unit off to change the impellor. Only the gear shift shaft came out with the lower unit. Should the drive shaft have come off with the lower unit? I think it has to in order to get the new impellor and key installed. I tried gripping it with...
Happy Holidays. I just picked up a 1994 15HP which starts on the 1st pull and seems to run perfectly. Water flows from the pee hole immediately and gets hot as the motor warms up, but water never flowed out of the back of the engine (the upper exhaust port) even after it was good and warm. Is...
It won't run, it periodically backfires when I pull it. It has good strong fire on both plugs. I pulled the flywheel and things looked OK there. Please point me in the direction for setting the timing. I think it must be way out of time.
I have a 1999 8HP Sailmaster and can't get it to run at all. I pulled the flywheel to make sure the key wasn't sheared off. I looked for points, but didn't see any under there. I took the carb apart and it is super clean. The motor has never been used much, but it's been sitting for a long...
Before I order the 2 pieces (one on the cover and one on the motor), I thought I'd check the forum. This latch won't catch. All of the pieces are there, I just can't get it to catch. Has anyone had any experience with this type of latch?
I cleaned out my dads garage today and brought 2 motors home. 1 is an 8HP which I think is a 1999. The model is J8RXEEM and the serial # is G04619919. There is a 5 foot wire with 2 connectors (possibly for a battery connection) coming right out of the front of the motor (next to the choke...
