    1986 Johnson 6.5hp Questions

    Try capping of the primer and adding fuel if necessary to get it started. If it runs examine the primer for faults. Most likely the carb though.

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    Another guess, my first to me larger outboard was a 82 Johnson 90 HP. Bought it used from a dealer. Took it out and it seemed gutless on a 1971 18 ft Fiberform. We were running around and all of the sudden it took off like a bat out of hell. Then dogged out. We decided to take it back to the...

    Omc part

    Okay, I received a whole bunch of parts when I bought a whole bunch of outboards this week or last week I can't even remember. This particular thing was in a box with an older Evinrude simplex box and other assorted parts. Anyone know what it is?
