    '84 Johnson 90HP died in water, won't restart

    If you were pumping the ball hard and still using the primer after switching tanks you likely did flood it. Just swapping tanks is all you really need to do.

    Unable to start and no water out the telltale

    Be sure the vent is open in the tank pump the ball until hard after you move the throttle all way to the right go back left about 1/8 turn. Goal is to move it just a bit higher than the slowest idle position. If it doesn’t fire after say 3 pulls then move the choke half way in. Goal is not to...

    84 Johnson 40 HP Weak Top End/No Slow Idle

    84 Johnson 40 HP Weak Top End/No Slow Idle

    That bottom cylinder is clearly not firing. Before you check your spark with an adjustable spark tester get some oil into that cyclinder even if it’s just WD 40. If it’s not getting fuel it’s not getting oil. Damage to that cylinder is not far behind if it’s not already been done.

    84 Johnson 40 HP Weak Top End/No Slow Idle

    In my eyes being that this is new to you and have no history on it and it’s not running right first order of business would be to rebuild the carbs and fuel pump replace and fuel lines that seam dry and or cracked replace plugs and inspect plug plug wires and get a new water pump installed. Make...

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    You shouldn’t have temps much higher than you thermostats. Probably around 140. If you get over 200 then your going to have bigger problems than this.

    Milky Gear Oil - Now What?

    Do you replace the washers on the plugs when you check or change the oil? If not it could be as simple as that. I would at least pressure test it before doing anything else. Best of luck

    25 HP evinrude Etech issue

    I don’t know much about the Etec motors but I would guess old fuel could be your problem. May need to clean the injectors and get some fresh fuel running though it.

    25 HP evinrude Etech issue

    Was the motor prepped for long term storage or was fuel left in it for 1 1/2 years?

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    I don’t think the West System would hold up to the heat. It would get to soft.

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    Forgot to mention after you take the bolt out chase the threads with a tap so they are fresh and clean threads.

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    Once the bulb is hard there is no need to keep squeezing it and forcing fuel. You said the motor runs without the hose hooked up correct? If so just for kicks start it without the hose hooked up. Just when it starts to stall From running out of gas hook the hose up and see what happens.
