    2000 Johnson 115hp WOT woes

    Helping my friend take his engine to outboard hospital this afternoon. Engine bogs down, barely runs above 3500 rpms, once engine warms up. Runs fine when cold. Fine at idle. Checked gas & filter..OK. Spark OK. Is it worth replacing ignition coil before going to hospital. Can a coil work good...

    Quebec spec trout fishing

    I've booked a 4 day trip to a camp called Mabec in August, north of Sept-iles, QC.. I've been looking for a forum on Eastern Canadian fishing, but they all seem to be loaded with just porno chat/ads. Anyone got any good sites that are not loaded with porn?

    1992 Johnson 28 Special Slene

    I have owned this outboard for several years. Runs fine but very loud. What I can't figure out is why there is no air filter of some sort attached to the carb? I know it's protected under the cover, but it just seems strange. Also, any hints on how to make it quieter at higher rpm's...will...

    Anti siphon valve

    I am in the process of installing a new 60 gal fuel tank, feeding a '04 Yamaha F150. The pickup tube is plastic, connected to a alum fitting. What's the deal with the anti-siphon valve other than CG regs. One mechanic told me that the valve can restrict the gas just enough to affect the...

    10 HR Maintenance

    Getting ready to perform the initial 10HR maintenance on my 2004 F150.The owners manual states that the oil filter is to be changed only after 200 HR/1YR, but the engine oil is replaced at 10hr, 50hr & 100hr. Why is the oil filer not changed with each engine oil change?

    Which trim gauge is the one to use?

    I have a new F150 and need a trim gauge> Choice #1 is 6Y7-83670-10-00 for $84, and choice #2 is 6Y5-83670-12-00 for $147. Both appear to be the same except for color of faceplate. What's the difference between the two?

    Prop my F150

    I just tried my new Yamaha F150 yesterday with a 13 3/4 X 19 SS prop (left over fm my old 200 hp), and it maxed out at 5600rpms. Its on a 19' Grady '91, total package with two people and full tank about 3300 lbs. My goal is higher top end instead of better hole shot. Should I try a 13 3/4 X 17...

    Multi function tach&speedo compatability

    I have been using the multifunction tach and multi speedo guages since '91 with my 200 2 stroke. I have just purchased a '04 F150. Will my old guages work on new engine. The tach does not have a 2 or 4 stroke selector switch on back of guage. What happens when I use a 2 stroke guage on a four...

    To rebuild or not to rebuild

    1990 200 ETXD. The powerhead is off the lower unit, getting ready to replace the control arm and shift rod. The manifold extension and exhaust guide parts will also have to be replaced. The big question is the condition of the surface of the powerhead where it aligns with the exhaust guide (and...

    Replacing control arm & shift rod

    Alternative to Ring Free?

    I run a 1990 200 Yamaha with 1500 hrs. I do alot of slow going which results in engine bogging down on acceleration for a bit until I get above 4200 rpm for a minute or so. I believe its carbon buildup and plug fouling. Yamaha Ring Free is $8.00 per bottle, and to do a shock treatment on a 60...
