    Odd hole in carb of a J6rccs

    So I was cleaning the carb on my 6hp (j6rccs) and found a hole I don't recall just inside the carb. mouth. It's not a round hole, and it goes through to an opening on the plastic top. There is a bit of corrosion on the carb, was this a small intentional hole that is now larger? It has been...

    Evinrude 1996, 90 HP good sturdy motor?

    I found a 96, 90HP evinrude in lightly used condition.It seems like it would be an easy motor to work on, but I have found very little about them on the internet. I guess I could say if I am not finding bad stuff about it then that's good. I'd like to hear from anyone that has had one, and how...

    81, 50hp johnson idle and throttle adjustment?

    I've had it out a couple times trying to work out the problems then the stator died. I have a good looking used one in place and upon starting it the idle was way to high. I think I now have it set correctly to start reliably, the manual say's the roller should be set at the lower mark but it...

    81 50 hp johnson temp sensor question

    So I invested in a bigger boat with a fifty on it and I am new to the larger size bracket motors with temp sensors on them so what does this sensor do? Is it a horn or does it shut the engine down when high temps are occurring?

    Strange ringing noise from 1988 6hp

    Well I had a bunch of stuff happen to this motor and now acquired a ringing noise. I chased down a water problem, replaced a few gaskets and the water grommet and now that's good. I hit a stump in a lake and broken the inside sleeve of the prop, a little ahead of where the shear pin goes in. Now...

    Upper main bearings?

    So I was look my motor over (35el79a) because it suddenly started running poorly and found that the fly wheel has about 1/16th inch play to it.So I pulled it and found it was also in the crankshaft. Is it possible this is the upper main bearings being bad or is there supposed to be play like this?

    I have two Johnsons a 1988 6hp and a 1979 35hp that get subjected to saltwater a couple times a month on average.

The 6hp had been running good for months getting some good fishing in and...

    It has a new pump, changed the lower oil, rebuilt started, rebuilt carb, new plugs, rewired it. I have no history on it, but so far it starts like a dream and pisses like a youngster. I am at the adjusting stage and I am a little baffled by the temp readings I get on the thermostat cover and...

    1988 6hp johnson won't stop leaking from the air hole on carb

    I had done a simple clean of the carb last year when I got the motor and it ran well (weekly trips to the shore) until recently when it was lacking power a bit. Also in the last month I have replaced the fuel pump one weekend( had to use the bulb as a pump to get home one day) and the fuel bulb...
