    Best years for 70-75hp Johnson/Evinrude outboards

    1996 Johnson 60hp 2 stroke not getting to full speed at random times

    Yes , I think so . If all the coils spark when connected to the top or bottom cyl wires from the power pack and none spark when connected to the middle cyl wire from power pack , this tells you that all the coils are good (because they all work when connected to a good top or bottom power pack...

    1996 Johnson 60hp 2 stroke not getting to full speed at random times

    Yep ,you have already proven the coil is ok when you swapped it over and the fault stayed in the same cyl, so take the power pack wire off faulty cyl coil and fit to one of the other coils (that did work ) and crank to check for spark on that coil and if there is no spark you gotta think the...

    1996 Johnson 60hp 2 stroke not getting to full speed at random times

    Hard to say wether its fixed or not coz we didnt find out what was wrong . Its possible that by moving the wiring you have jiggled a loose connection . The only way to get it sorted is to go thru the harness untill you find it . A multimeter is invaluable here. Start with any plugs you...

    Wakeboat bans

    As cyclops says " look at me look at me ". If these ******** didnt feel the need to show us all just how wonderful they are and did their thing away from other uninterested people in the middle of the water instead of the edges they probly wouldnt attract so much negative attention . You might...

    Time to replace tires?

    I use ordinary car tires on my trailers , none of which carry more than 1000kg, As long as the weight rating is good . I like a radial around the 185-70-14 with not to thick a side wall (4 ply ) I just find them smoother on the road especially gravel . As said above they dont ever wear out...

    Birds in the boat . . .

    Well I dunno , I think that even if there is a plethora of natural nesting sites some of us humans have provided alternative possibilities that for some primal reason appeal to these interlopers 😁. Every year I get about 3 different Starlings (one after the other ) nesting in the exhaust...
