Hi guys, I took my boat out after 18months yesterday and it started first turn of the key which I was extremely happy with. I went out for a short 2min trip and it travelled normally, slow speed and also high speed, then all of a sudden when I tried to put the throttle down, the rev's went...
Im hoping someone might be able to help me locate a part I require for my motor. I struggled to start my motor this morning and noticed the choke was not engaging. I then realised the spring that connects the choke levers and activates the choke from the solenoid is missing. I remember this...
Hello there, I was out today taking my boat for our first time since winter. (it is now summer over here in Australia). The motor is a 1967 Johnson 60HP VX model and was running extremely well until all of a sudden it just stopped at near top speed without any warning. Luckily we were close...
Hoping someone might be able to assist me. Is the little hole/nic shown in the picture supposed to be there? I notice that when I untilt my motor after recent use a bit of water comes from this hole? If this has happened from a collision can I seal it with silicon?
Guys, I am base in Melbourne Australia, and just wondering what type of fuel would be best suited for my Johnson 60HP. We have three types we can choose from here. To date I have been using the 2nd Option, 95 RON. Would using the 98 RON cause any issues or give me better performance?

I took my boat out for the first time this season last saturday after getting it serviced by my local service guy (ie tune up and new plugs) 2 weeks ago. The motor starts fine, however ever since owning the motor (just on 12mths now) I have only been able to keep it running in idle and at low...
Guys,
I have a tempo motor flusher that I purchased to rinse my Johnson 1967 60HP motor that isnt easy to use.
Question I have is when I have used my boat in salt water I take it to a car wash place and wash it. I noticed yesterday that if I stick the high pressure gun up the exhaust it...
I took my 1967 Johnson 60HP out today on my 13.5 fiberglass runabout. It had been about 4months since it was last out and there was appx 1/2 tank of 4month old fuel in the tank still. I filled the remainder up with fresh fuel/oil mix. Started well, however it seemed to really struggle and...
Guys,
six weeks ago I ran into some rocks and damaged my prop and also snapped the shear pin. I have replaced the two of these items and today I took the boat out again for the first time since the repairs. Motor started perfect and idled well. I put the motor into forward and all seemed fine...
I have a Johnson 1967 60 HP outboard. When travelling I am having problems when the trailor goes over bumps, with the little bracket that holds the motor up during transport falling down. The motor then drops all the way down which is dangerous as the bottom part could scrape against the...
Yesterday whilst out boating I struck some rocks whilst entering the boat ramp which actually snapped one of the fins off my prop. I stopped the motor then tried to start it again.
The motor started however after the colision I had no forward or reverse control. Ended up getting towed back...
I recently took my boat on our first trip and found it hard to start. When I did ge the motor started and in idle, it would reguarly stall when going into forward. To get the boat into action I had to have the revs extremely high which would see the boat dangerously launch forward. Once going...
I am hoping someone might be able to help me. I purchased my first boat which has a 1967 Johson 1967 motor. I have been trying to find out whether you can use rabbit ear flushers on these models after being in salt water. I purchased the round type but it does not fit the motor as the intake...
