My motor will lift up when I go into reverse. I was wondering if the reverse lock mechanism is not installed correctly.
I purchased the motor used (w/ very low hours) and the previous owner said the water pump was replaced so maybe it happened when the lower unit was replaced.
Is this...
I am currently using Mercury Synthetic blend premium plus 2 cycle outboard oil and my motor does indeed run flawless. I had to rebuild the carb and replace the waterpump because it sat unused for 5 to 7 years. The motor has 5 tanks of gas run through it max.
My question is can I use Evinrude...
My very low hour 1973 9.5hp johnson has a rebuilt carb last year and ran great until I tried to start it up this Spring for the first tiime. I think the "float" in the carb was stuck because it flooded everything out (carb and cycliders). I emptied the cycliders with gas (bottom one was...
I just bought a mint condition 1978 15 hp Johnson from a guy on Craigslist. I bought the motor for $50 because it had not been run in over 25 years and the guy thought it was a "parts motor" because of its age. After I cleaned up the dust the thing is in mint condition with at most 2 or 3...

I just purchased 1966 3HP weedless and foldable Envinrude and I am in the process of re-building the carb, ignition system, and replacing the water pump. The person I bought it from said it has not been run in over 35 years and stored in their basement the whole time. This motor maybe saw the...
