    1988 Johnson 70hp - VRO or not to VRO?

    Maybe from the old non synthetic oils. Synthetic oils generally have much better flow rates. That being said snowmobiles seem to do okay?

    2 Stroke Oil Thread

    Thats cause OMC oil was not up to the task. McCulloch did it successfully in the 60s with their own oil.

    2 Stroke Oil Thread

    Amsoil recommends 75-1 for outboards under heavy use. Which means anything other than cruising.

    1996 mariner 30 hot start issues -- at my wit's end

    It's a carbed motor, perfectly normal to have to give it throttle after 5-15 minutes of sitting. If you don't want to give it throttle buy an EFI motor.

    Prop barrel slightly smaller than the gearcase

    You are probably going to cavitate the snot out of that prop. Exhaust is supposed to go through the prop not out around the blades.

    Spark Plug suggestions!

    Isn't the QL77jc4 the superceded plug for a 1969 85 hp? That plug will work well in WI.

    2004 Mercury 115 2 stroke - oil injection block off plate

    There is doing it right and doing it wrong. Don't need to "fixem" for a living to know that. I will tell you how this one goes when I am done with it. My new 125 that won't need gimmicks to run.

    1975 Johnson 70hp

    Youre speed is normal for that motor and set up. Your motor is powerhead rated , realistically 60 at the prop. I ran that same combo and I would recommend a 15" prop to get closer to 5500. 32 was the best I ever got out of it. If you want significant speed increase get an 86 or newer 70 hp.

    2004 Mercury 115 2 stroke - oil injection block off plate

    I know all about what you did to that fine engine. You literally made it so much worse. Honestly I think you are a cautionary tale on what not to do to an engine. By the way I misspelt Good with GOID not GOLD
