    Would the '74 115hp Evinrude gear case work on a '75 135hp Johnson? From what I can see it should work but would appreciate input from you pro's. Thanks

    1950 7.5hp Fleetwin Prop shaft removal

    I am in the process of resurrecting a 1950 7.5hp Fleetwin Model 4434. My question is once the gear housing cap and clutch lever support collar are removed should the prop shaft slide out easily? I can pull the prop shaft out partially then the clutch drive spring starts to expand indicating to...

    1957 16' Lone Star - Model?

    Have an opportunity to purchase a 1957 16' Lone Star, see pictures, at a good price. Motor not included. I think it would be perfect to put one of my "Big Twin" 40hp's on. Obviously, it needs work as some pieces/parts are missing. I think this is either a Malibu or a Nassau. Could...

    What is this Motor?

    Somebody is selling 3 motors. Looks like the one on the right is a 1963 5.5 hp Evinrude Fisherman. Any idea what the one in the middle is? Looks like an oldie. Thank You.

    1981 Johnson 115hp, will flat exhaust covers work?

    I was given a 1981 115 HP Johnson, J115TLCIH. Motor has issues but I think it is salvageable. For some reason, a PO put 140hp inner and outer exhaust covers on it. I would like to install 115hp exhaust covers back on it. These covers were of the bubble back variety. The only replacements I...

    I recently purchased a 1972 Johnson 4HP for a very good price. Seller told me it would not start. Compression on both cylinders is appx 92 psig. Solid. The problem I am having is that when I pull the starter I get no spark on either cylinder. I hooked up an adjustable gap tester and see...

    Joe Reeve's WOT Timing Procedure - Question

    I have a question on the Joe Reeves WOT Timing procedure. I am going to use it to time a 1975 135HP Johnson. The question is what do I do with the plugs on cylinders 2,3, and 4. Ground them to the block? Remove them from the boot? Don't want to damage ignition components. Advice would be...

    1975 Johnson 135Hp - Clutch Dog or Cable Adjustment?

    I have a 1975 135Hp Johnson, model 135ETL75E. Recently, the clutch dog will pop sometimes when I am shifting into Forward. It does not do this all the time. Following one of the popping episodes, once it gets in gear and stays there it runs without issue all the way up to 5000 rpm. I have...

    What is the purpose of this link on the Carberator?

    I have a 1975 135Hp Johnson, model 135ETL75E. For the most part it runs fine. Have done a lot of work to it to get it there. Anyway, I was reading a post and noticed a link that attaches from the lower carb throttle cam to the lower carb choke cam. This is missing on my engine and certainly...
