    1967 40 hp electshift rich/lean trouble shoot?

    Racerone In the photo of the carb the choke is open. Shouldn’t it not be closed until the motor warms up?

    new to me 1970 Johnson 25hp tiller short shaft. locked up

    Me too Picked up a 28 Johnson for $50 that was locked up tight. It had been stored indoors but sat for 10 years. I figured I would take a chance at doing the least amount of work to see what would happen. Worst case scenario I would have $50 worth of spare parts. So I filled the cylinders with a...

    150 Johnson rod bearings snapping

    Oh boy! Rods caps and bearings should have stayed together and been put back on the same journal. Even with new bearings you could have binding on the crank if it’s a high hour motor and if the caps are miss matched to the rods it could compound that even more. Caps and rods are machined...

    Test your switch. If it checks out look for a blown fuse or damaged wires.

    Flushing Evinrude 9.9

    I understand your situation now. I don’t think you would get the same amount of result but I don’t think it would hurt anything either. Honestly if the boat is in use daily I wouldn’t worry about that much. A fresh water rinse is good before storage but if using daily the benefit is just not...

    For those who know 70’s Evinrude / Johnson I have a slightly challenging question

    I’m think a bit of your time now to install the correct kit is far better than the problems you could have down the road. Especially if your on the water far from home.

    83 - 20hp-30/35 conversion

    I’m with Racerone on this one. It is an easier swap but not as convenient The primer solenoid rarely fails and when it does it’s easy to repair.

    70 HP vs 90 HP Evinrude: Which to Buy?

    Well it sounds like your transom will be capable and you have done a lot of work on this boat. In my eyes the 70 would be the way to go. They were far more reliable as far as I’m concerned. It’s really a crap shoot either way when buying an old motor. Whichever way you go give them a good going...

    70 HP vs 90 HP Evinrude: Which to Buy?

    I’m not familiar with that boat but at 15’ I’m curious if its rated for such a large motor. What is your transom hight? Is there still and info plate with H.P. rating and weight capacity with number of people? I believe racerone question was have the motors previously been used in salt or fresh...

    Help & Analysis: 1988 Johnson 6 HP 2 Stroke

    Yes the theory is the higher rpms would burn more efficiently and a create less pollution. The unburned fuel and oil in the older 2 cycle motors is for the most part the reason they are banned from use in smaller bodies of water. Just out of curiosity how much oil are you adding to your fuel...

    Johnson Kill switch

    I don’t see why not unless there is a problem with the currant key switch. If there is your problem will still be there. If your just adding a lanyard you should be ok. A better solution would be to remove your stripped out screws so you have access to your control box. It is a PITA job but...
