    55 Yamaha identification no model or serial # labels

    Is there any place other than the 2 raised bosses on the mounting bracket to find a model # on a 55 Yamaha outboard. Both labels are gone and I have no idea what year it is. Considering buying but need to know more about it.

    Need Identification Help

    I'm looking at an ad for a Mariner 40hp and all the guy can tell me about it is that it was running when removed. I ask for the serial # and if he knew if it was a long or short shaft. He sent me the serial # 0C187896 and HP30JET. I haven't been able to find out what he has. I'm looking for a...

    Johnson GT 150 1988 model..... been sitting for quite some time

    This engine has been sitting for 3 years without being run. Aside from draining the tank and putting in new fuel, what else should I do? Would it be best to take it to the shop and have the carbs cleaned?

    Not sure

    Not sure if I'm in the right forum (I'm sure you'll let me know). i have a 1988 Javlin 378 F/S w/Johnson GT 150. The prop I am using at this time is a 3 blade aluminum 14 1/4 x 21. I also have a Stainless 3 blade 14 1/2 x 26 that came with the boat. I'm having trouble getting my boat to plane...

    Carb and Fuel pump kits

    So where do you guys purchase your carb and fuel pump kits? I'm working on a 1975 15hp Johnson, model #15R75C. Thanks to the forum I was able to determine that my pump was going out. If I pump the primer bulb it runs great but if I stop pumping she dies.

    Fuel line inside diameter?

    I have a 1976 15hp and my son replaced the fuel line on his last trip. He purchased a complete assy at Walmart. The line he purchased is a 3/8. Is this ok or does my 15 need a certain size? He tossed the old line so I don't know what size it was.

    Spark Plug 1975 15hp?

    My Johnson (15R75C) calls for Champion L7J plugs. Parts store tried to sell me Champion UL81C as a replacement. What do you guys run in your 15's. I don't use it for trolling, just to get from one spot to another.

    Need OEM part # Fuel pump

    :( Anyone have the OEM fuel pump part # for a 1975 Johnson 15hp, model # 15R75C? Don't actually need a pump, but the piece with the single screw through the middle, that holds the wire screen, and the fuel line connects to. Figure I'll have to buy the whole pump to get that piece.

    1975 Johnson 15HP decarb advice needed

    :) I need advice on decarbing my 15HP. It runs well but not like it did for the first 20 years. It has never been decarbed. Other than a prop and water pump it's all original. I've read alot of threads on decarbing and the use of seafoam and deepcreep. I would like to try this in a 55gal drum in...

    Gale (what can you tell me?)

    I have a Gale, model # 15D15B, serial # 882590. That's all I know about it. I have it on my 14' aluminum boat and it runs great. I read on here about other Gale's and that has me concerned that I may be using the wrong gas/oil mixture. I use the same mix for my 76 Johnson 15hp (50:1). I would...

    Old Sea King

    I have an old Sea King and don't know anything about it. I can tell you it has M.W.&Co. on the top. It weighs approximately 30lbs. It does no have a recoil start rope ( you wind the rope around on top). The gas tank is on the motor. Where would I look for a model #? I could take a picture but I...

    1988 Johnson GT 150 ignition problem

    :confused: My engine will not cut off when I turn the key off or pull the lanyard from the kill switch. I do notice a difference in the sound of the engine when I turn the key off (sounds like it is struggling to run) but it doesn't shut off. Any advice on trouble shooting the ingnition system?
