    '92 9.9 Johnson loads up

    This J10Rena model won't get a 14' aluminum fishing boat on plane like it used to. I put a new carb kit in, and checked the fuel pump. The diaphragms looked ok. At full throttle it reallys gags up until backed off a bit. I put sea foam in and ran it hoping to loosen any dirt in the carb but...

    How to adjust '92 Johnson 9.9 gear shift?

    This motor goes into reverse and neutral but has trouble going into forward. Sometimes when you think you are in neutral, it is still in forward. When I get to the library I will get a manual but thought I would post it anyhow. Thanks.

    Stuck prop on Evinrude 9.9

    I searched the posts on this but didn't turn up anything useful. This prop was off about a year ago, but it won't budge now. Both fresh and salt water.I forgot to grease it! Pulley pullers won't get a grip and a chisel type tool doesn't help. I can't hit the plastic on the back. Is there a...

    need fuel pump kit for 18hp evinrude

    Evinrude only carries pumps and not kits for this 1971 Model 18102S 18 hp motor. Sierra doesn't have any kits listed either. Would a Sierra 18-7823 fuel pump kit work? Thank you.

    Substitute fuel pump kit for 18 hp '71 Evinrude?

    Hi I've got a 1971 18hp Evinrude 18102S. There is a Sierra kit 18-7042 for the fuel pump, but it doesn't have the diaphrams included. Evinrude doesn't have a kit. Is there a substitute like 18-7823 that will work? Thanks.

    Need J48ESLETE shift rod measurment

    Hi, I've got a long shaft motor and found two different lengths in two different manuals. The first didn't work. Anyone know the one in an OEM manual? Does anyone else have a problem getting the shat up through the hold at the top? I took out the seal, rand a wire with a clip on it then had...

    Johnson '93 9.9 surge

    What would cause a 92 Johnson 9.9 to surge? It seems to be the worst when going at slow speed. It comes and goes. Sometimes real bad and sometimes not. Thank, Bob

    93 Johnson 9.9 idle adjustment

    Hi, I read a manual not (OEM), on this motor and it said to turn the idle screw counterclockwise all the way then open 1 or 2 turns than adjust for smoothness. Is this wrong ? All the ones I've seen go clockwise to shut the fuel off, then open and adjust from there. Thanks. Bob

    Remove shift rod part on '93 48hp

    Hi, I've got a 48 HP J48ESLETE. The bolt that holds the shift rod on the shift shaft twisted off. The parts list shows the endpiece that the bolt goes into should come off. Does the forward facing bolt have to come all the way out to take it off? If it does, then I will have to take the bottom...

    Johnson 9.9 leaks oil out the exhaust etc.

    I read the pinned post about unused 2 cycle oil coming out the exhaust behind and below the head, above the cavitation plate, and out the prop. This model J10Rena is about a 1993 model. I can't believe this much is acceptable. My 1985 8hp Evinrude doesn't leak this much nor my 1979 35hp Johnson...

    How is gel coat applied?

    Paint rollers and foam brushes don't work. Sponges fall apart. What do you apply gel coat with? I did a topper and the paint roller left some fuzz, but not very noticable. It might need a second coat so maybe a light sanding will take care of that problem. Thanks.

    Evin 8hp idles ok but knocks going higher

    My 1985 motor idels ok but starts knocking or missing at higher throttle settings. I ran sea foam through it and changed the plugs. A new retainer & link assembly was added and the adjustment screw was adjusted to about where the other one was. Could this be the problem? It didn't do this...

    How do you read a Sperry ohms meter?

    Hi, I have a Sperry SP-152A needle tester (multi-meter) and the instruction manual was worthless. It has 3 dial positions 1, Rx10, and 1K. I assume 1 is the lowest setting. Does anyone want to try and explain how it works? My knowlege on electronics is about ziltch. Is there a book I could...

    Can't get shift rod through grommet on 48 Johnson

    Hi, I've got the rod with the goosneck forward and it is hitting the back left corner of the grommet. We can't see the rod itself. The hole is on the left side and I can see the hole in the metal below. Can you please tell me what is wrong? Thanks.

    Sea King 10 hp 15 GG- linkage rod positions?

    Hi, I need to know where the rod that is connected to the throttle lever goes. The other rod that goes from the bottom of the float bowl goes where? the inside hole? It looked like the upper rod hooked into the outer hole of the throttle lever and the other went in the inside hole, but it...

    Got a stuck drive shaft seal cap that won't come off-93 48

    1993 48hp Johnson I can't get the cap that holds the seals under the water pump. Tried rust buster, heat and tapping it with a bolt. It is pot metal and chips easy. Is there a trick to getting one off? Thankyou much.

    86' 40 hp Johnson shift rod won't line up with pin hole-front to back

    The powerhead was taken off and put back on. Is there enough room to move it around with the 9 bolts loose? The reason I ask is because the shift rod hole is 1/2 hole in front of the pin hole. I tried moving the rod up and down but that doesn't affect anything unless it is straight up and down...

    Johnson 1993 48- where are shims, leaks

    Hi, I would like to know where to look for the shims in the lower unit so I can get them back right. There is oil coming out of the prop are are but the rear seals appear dry. Could it be coming out somewhere else? Thanks.

    What bolts come out of Johnson 1986 40hp powerhead to take it off?

    I have been running this motor for a month without the overheat buzzer coming on but it happened again. I put a new water pump kit in, pushed a rod up through the water tube, cleaned salt out of the back and one side (not bad though), replaced the head gasket and water gasket. So I guess the...
