    Big Trouble in Carb Town

    Ok - so I went by the parts shop today and picked up a carb rebuild kit for my 1988 20hp Johnson. Problem #1 Get home and pull the carb off and in the process of pulling the hose off the front coming from the primer the "nipple" snaps off! I thought I did it at first until I noticed what...

    20hp running right?

    Alright, I just got back in from my first lake run with my 1988 20hp Johnson. It's on the back of a 12' Carolina Skiff. It started and ran "fine" the whole time but I think it's either missing slightly or may be a dirty carb? It took quite a bit longer to get on plane than I expected and...

    Red Oil coming from Water Inlet

    Hi all - I ran my 88' Johnosn 20 again yesterday on the hose but as I was hooking the muffs up I noticed some red oil had pooled up in the corners of the water intakes. Is this lower unit oil? I haven't pulled the drain/fill plugs on the lower unit yet (on my list this evening) to see if it's...

    Need Help All Over with 1988 Johnson 20hp

    Hi all - I just picked up a 1988 (I think - J20CRCCA) and have a ton of questions! First I think it has been recently rebuilt as the paint on the lower unit and powerhead seems way too fresh for 1988 (see pics). It started on the first pull and ran good for about 2 or 3 minutes then I checked...

    j12 Carolina Skiff and 9.9

    Hi all - I just acquired an Evinrude 9.9 and am looking at getting a 12' Carolina Skiff. I'm just wondering how that would move? I think they are rated at 15hp max. It will typically be 2 in the boat and I'd really like it to plane out. Anybody ever run this setup?

    1989 Evinrude 9.9 Impeller

    OK - Here I am again. I seem to be changing motors like the weather but I think I've got a winner this time. I picked up a 1989 Evinrude 9.9 for $300. It starts right up and runs great but the telltale just has a steady drip never a stream. I'm REALLY hoping it just needs an impeller and as...

    1970 evinrude 9.5 Wont Start

    Ok - I finally got the shift linkage back together. Now that I have replaced the impeller, pulled the carb, cleaned / rebuilt it it's time to start it. I've checked the compression approx. 65 and it has spark and it's getting fuel but I get nothing - not even a sputter. No idea how long its...

    Reconnecting Shift Linkage 1970 9.5 hp

    Hi all - it's me again. I got the chance to work on my "new" 1970 Evinrude 9.5 tonight for the first time. I got the carb rebuild kit and new impeller. I got the carb apart ok and cleaned / installed the rebuild kit without any major problems then I pulled the lower unit and changed the...

    Just got a 1970 Evinrude 9.5.................

    So I just got home from picking up my model 9022C. I think this is a 1970? I got it for $100 and I'm really hoping it was a good deal. It looks to be in fair shape, the guy said it runs good but doesn't pump any water. Obviously I havent tried to start it. I did turn it over and it feels...

    Possible prop change for 1975 Johnson 6hp

    Hi all - I just got my little 6 horse running good again but I am wondering if a prop change might be beneficial for me. The prop on it is the factory 2 blade and it just won't quite plane out my 12' skiff. If I lean forward it will plane but as soon as I sit back down it drops off. Would a...

    Replaced points but no spark 1975 6hp

    Hi all - I finally got the time to replace the points on my 1975 Johnson 6. If you look back at my previous threads you'll see that I was having some major "sputtering" problems. I pulled the carb and rebuilt it (cleaned thoroughly and new kit) took it out and had the same problems. I finally...

    1975 Johnson 6 Electrical problem? Video

    Hi all - I've got this great little 6 horse that I recently got running again but I've got a new problem. It runs great for about 15-20 minutes but then it starts to "load up" and sputter real bad and gets worse as time goes on. This really only happens while in gear and the motor is under a...

    Finally got the manual

    I finally got my factory service manual for the 1975 Johnson 6 and its great. Now I still need to fix the sputtering problem. Once I run for about 15 minutes its starts sputtering real bad and only gets worse. I just had the carb off and cleaned it, checked all the passages and its like brand...

    1975 johnson 6 carb rebuild

    Hello all, So my last post was about the motor "sputtering" (if you search my username you can see the video). Anyway, I bought a carb rebuild kit that is complete with a bunch of rubber washers, gaskets and all that jazz. I'm sure there's a post on here talking about this but I didn't find...

    1956 Evinrude 15hp - should I buy?

    I'm looking to upgrade the hp on my 12' skiff (6 just isn't cutting it) Questions are: Are these motors as good as all newer Johnson / Evinrude motors? Is the weight of this older motor a factor compared to a newer model? Are the parts still readily available? I'm waiting on pics but...

    Max HP?

    I recently bought a 1979 Johnsen Skiff to match my little 6hp outboard. It works well but not near enough get up and go so I'm really looking at getting into a 15 hp. The boat is registered as 12' but actually its 11' with a tape measure. Anyone know if there's a registry that documents...

    75 Johnson 6hp misfiring? Video

    Similar post to my last one so bear with me. I took it out today and it ran fine for about 40 minutes all the way to the canal where I slowed to idle speed for about 5 minutes. Then as I come out of the canal and back up to full speed it starts sputtering (see video). Luckily I brought the...

    Johnson 6 missing or backfiring at wot?

    Yes its me again, the guy with the leaky lower unit 75 6 horse...I totally forgot to mention that when I'm running wide open it sometimes seems to have a bit of a miss, almost like little backfires. Would that be a carb issue, points, both or something else all together? I'm sure its due a...
