    100:1 or 50:1?

    The misconception of 100-1 is it killed the motor while it was running. That is untrue, with the100-1 mix the problems happend during extended storage periods. The oil was not good enough to protect during those times. There are oils capable of being run 100-1 that do not have those issues.

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    Let's start with Brunswick never owned OMC. The 48 and the 88 we're budget motors but mechanically they are identical to the 50 and the 90. The 110/112 we're full featured motors just cheaper than the loopers that were replacing them.

    Johnson 112 vs 90 questions..

    No there should be a difference. The 112 Is just a rebadged 115 so you technically have 25 hp more. What is your compression? What are your Rpms at?

    Reverse Lock Out

    There are pieces missing. By doing what you did it is probably now locked both ways.

    Reverse Lock Out

    I did not think they carried that assembly over from the older scotts. But yes you are missing parts.

    Testing ignition on older OMC’s

    The 9.5 in the video and the 75 15 hp do NOT have the same ignition. The Universal Magneto 73 and earlier and the low tension magneto 74 and up do not work the same. So be careful which ignition is being tested.

    1989 Mariner 20HP

    You bet. They are some of my favorite motors.

    Yes you must have the bearing in. If you can't find it they do sell a primer repair kit the that has the bearing.

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    That is because your center bearings have holes in the races. These need to align with the pins in the crank case, then the crank will fit correctly.

    2003 25 hp merc 2 stroke impeller replacement

    Maybe for a 4 strk. A 2 strk Merc motor will never pull those kinds of #s. A good healthy 2 strk 20/25 will be around 120 psi. My rebuilds don't pull much more than 120.

    Outboard will only start when given 10%-30% throttle. Will not start when given full throttle or half throttle.

    So what was actually wrong?

    1989 Mariner 20HP

    Double check you used the right gaskets. Those kits contain gaskets that may not work in yours. Important to double check. Also make sure the base gasket is on correctly. If it is on wrong it will cover the pump pulse port. Is the ball and spring in the primer correctly.
