I hear they will ship it to her and I can still register it in Mass but I don’t know any one that has bought from...

    Johnson 40hp 2005 link and idle adjustments

    A Greek island sound nice. I live on an island as well and I’m aware of the of the challenges of sourcing supplies. My little patch of Paradise is over run with 200,000 tourists at the moment and it’s not so nice. Agreed on getting the boat in the water to see how it really performs. That...

    Johnson 40hp 2005 link and idle adjustments

    The came roller should be readily available. What’s your location? E Bay and Amozon likely have them. If your homemade cam roller dimensions are off likely everything else will be as well so book specs aren’t going to help. Jmo.

    Johnson 40hp 2005 link and idle adjustments

    Sounds like you’re pretty confident on your linkage settings. How does the cam roller look? They can sometime crack and without spinning it around it can hard to see a missing pice of the roller. This will mess with its alignment.

    Johnson 40hp 2005 link and idle adjustments

    Sounds like you motor was molested by the previous owner. This may not help but if it were me I would do a link and sync from scratch. Follow the manual exactly as is written step by step and don’t try to out smart the process. You may find that’s it all correct but you have to do it to verify...

    Boss's boat.....worlds fastest v-hull

    There will always be a need and desire for more speed. For me in my younger years it was always a blast to go fast in or on anything but it was never fast enough at the end of the day.

    Choke stays closed

    Can you push the key in on your control box? As if it were a push button? Turn the key and push on it and see if you get power to the choke wire. Let us know if that doesn’t make sense and I’ll try again.

    Climate change and fishing

    Maybe I should have mentioned salt water specifically. The Red Fish also know as Red Drum are normally a more southern fish as are the others mentioned. I used to catch these fish in Fl all the time. I have been on Cape Cod for over 30 years now and never heard of these fish showing up until the...

    Choke stays closed

    Not sure what kind of controls you have but the choke should only work when you push the key in or if you have some sortof momentary switch. It should close for cold start only and be wide open for normal run. You have it wired wrong at the moment.

    1990 Evinrude 3HP, dies when throttle opened more than half

    You’re so right. That’s why I always go OEM when possible. I feel like these parts might just go through quality control and I’m will to pay a little extra for that.

    Which one is the boss gasket?

    All bets are off with a kit from Amazon. You may or may not have what you need in the kit and what is in it may or may not be correct and 9 x out of 10 the gaskets will melt when they get fuel on them. Some people will asked me to use their supplied parts and if thats what they have I just...

    Need help

    Remember when they thought it was a good idea to drop the barrels on the ocean floor. Who knows how many were really dumped but it’s sure to surface someday.

    Boss's boat.....worlds fastest v-hull

    I love watching these boats. I always looked forward to the offshore Grand Prix when I lived in Sarasota Fl. That was in the 80’s and the Popeyes team was the one to fear at the time.

    Faceplant into a floor jack

    Oh man. What way to to the day. Were you able to reach and handle to at least lift your off the floor? Yeah that shaking off thing only works for kids. The last accident I was in I decided to shake it off and refused the ambulance service. Later that day I caught a ride to the ER. Had 3...
