    3HP Lightwin fuel flow

    I have this 59 3hp running&starting very good.Took it to lake Friday,and by gps pushed my 12' x 36" jom boat 4.5-5.2mph.rpm`s sounded good,except after maybe 3 minutes full throttle rpm`s would back off aprox 500-800revs,as fuel flow wouldn`t quite keep up with carb.You could let it run low...

    Johnson 25 pull start

    Was wondering how hard a Johnson late 80`s pull start is to pull?I`ve had 15`s,and they weren`t that bad. also,will the electric start whole deal off a 91 15hp fit on a 25?Lastly,if the 25 comes pull start does that mean it also won`t have alternator to charge battery?Thanks for any help.

    1959 3hp light twin

    Is this pretty much same engine as late 60`s models?Does it need that very rich oil mix,like 24/1 because of pre 62 rod bearings?

    Johnnyrude 10HP

    I had a white 61 model in the late 70`s.It was a dandy.I had to replace points,coils,and the plate they set on,also a little alum weld on lower unit to fix leak.It was a very smooth runner,and would propel my light jon boad to 25mph. I was wondering if this engine had a good reputation,and how...

    Carb jets

    As to the poisition of the jets in any outboard carb,is the lowest one usually slow jet,or fast?My Solo has one in very bottom,and one .5" or so higher.Also,on the slow jet,does making out adj. screw give more air,or more gas?

    Did Johnson Make a 3HP

    or 4HP twin for wards or sears in the 60`s to 80`s.In a search for a good old motor was wondering if the Sea Kings or any Sears models might really be the 4HP twin deluxe with reverse?Also,aprox what years did Johnson&Evinrude make the 10HP?I had a 61 model and it was a dandy.

    Good 3-5HP motor

    With all the newer Mexican Johnsons,Suzuki Johnsons,Japenese new Mercurys&such,what would be a good choice for a small motor.I had a 3.3HP 99 johnson,and I liked it except for no neutral position.The light weight(30lbs)of that little johnson was nice,and weight is a big factor for me. Any ideas?
