    One for the collection 6hp Johnson

    Best of luck if you decide to use it. I know some that have tried and things didn’t go well. As mentioned melted gaskets, wrong jets, non matching needles and the list goes on. Find an OEM kit if you can or Sierra is the next best thing.

    18 hp johnson

    primer bulb not doing anything...

    Try pushing it several times and you may find it’s ok. If that doesn’t work the bulb that you push can dry out and have very fine cracks in it and may need replaced. Or there is a fuel delivery issue as mentioned check to see if fuel is reaching the primer.

    Just to be clear your not using the primer to start after its warm correct? You really should only need it for cold starts.

    1989 Mercury 2.4 Black Max 200 Service Manual

    I had a friend told the same exact thing about his compression numbers just the other day. The shop was also have a big sale on last years models. What a coincidence!! I ran a compression test for him and all was well. You just never know who you can trust.

    Do you make your own gaskets ?

    Only in a pinch for me as the last time I did I blew it twice at the very end of the project. Very frustrating 😂

    I have no personal experience with this but I have seen the screw clamps used on the cmc unit as they were intended along with bolts added to the lower holes in the transom bracket.

    I have heard that the 35hp rated unit will handle a 40hp 2 stroke but I would research that if interested. It’s a few $$$ less.
