    1979 35hp Johnson - smallest battery?

    I once took a ride in a 19’ modified Glen -L design with a 235 on it. We topped out at 104 in the off shore grand pre amateur division and brought home 1st place. It was like riding on a pice of cardboard with a motor on it. Good times.

    Johnson 70 overheating at high revs

    Looks can be deceiving! If your not sure of the impellers age it’s best to replace it. They get brittle over time. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

    70hp 1982 evinrude manual tilt very stiff

    Corrosion is a powerful thing. When was the last time the tilt/steering tube was greased? Those cylinders are big $$$.

    Looks normal to me. If it’s bugging you do a pressure test for piece of mind.

    Sounds like you need to start over. The float needle is likely stuck open or not adjusted properly.

    I made one from gasket material I got at Napa auto parts. I don’t have a part number but I can say it’s blue and 3/64 in thickness.

    1973 johnson 25hp 25R73A

    I would say that hole was either a grease fitting or a tensioning screw for the steering.

    2005 115 Johnson PLSOR dies off idle

    To check for water in the fuel disconnect the fuel line and pump some fuel into a glass jar with the bulb. Let it settle out for a few minutes. If there is water you will see it in the bottom of the jar.

    Evinrude 115 Won't Idle?

    This is true. For some reason I thought he said it helped to pump the ball but after reading again I was mistaken.
