    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    I think you already had them out correct? If so, take one out and measure it. That particular bolt in America you could find just about anywhere. 1/4 20 (20 refers to the threads) and it's probably 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Not sure why the United States didn't convert to the metric system but I guess...

    Johnson 55hp 1979 snapped bolt after following manual. Why?

    Yes I agree with F_R down below. When ever you deal with old outboards you are going to have a problem with bolts breaking. When that happens that is supper bad. (Removal) there is all kinds of tricks with penetrating oils and heat. Research and educate yourself on that. As far as your bolt, it...

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    Depending on your model number, and you must know this I guess, shafts are available but pricey. Like matt167 says, not sure why anyone would want to other than some kind of sentential reason.

    1966? Evinrude Big Twin 40 help

    I've done small outboards and none that old. For me it's usually the shift rod and drive shaft. But the one thing I've found is those are not available new. Not sure on yours. You should try to find a short shaft parts engine if you can.

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Yes, and NASA had a sq. Co2 scrubber filter on the command module and a round one one lunar module. Engineers! I did learn you could get the 585203 off another engine and change the pigtail but those are gone to. Only ones I found were $300 something used on eBay. Revenge of the Ficht I guess!

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Wow, I went to parts first where is just list the sensors and doesn't differentiate from either side. But when you go to parts breakdown and then individual parts you get the description. That sucks! I wonder how many people have gotten screwed on that one. Also, one would think a temp sensor...

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Race, the parts breakdown that I looked at doesn't differentiate from port and starboard. Just says temp sensor. Where do you see that or are you just pulling our legs?

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    I didn't have your model number but it's your year and your hp. Need to check model for sure. I was told BRP was still making and supplying parts. Anyhow, marine engine.com

    2003 Johnson 150 port temp sensor

    Expensive used part? Seems like you've isolated it, buy a new sensor. Better check into why your tach didn't let you know.

    Johnson 150 v6 carbs

    If it ain't right, take it back off and see why. I've never used gasket maker on a carb and possibly you have warped the back??? Not sure I'm qualified enough on this one.

    Throttle Cable Adjustment 2000 Johnson 90

    Pretty sure the thing in the middle is just a soft plug (access cover) not sure why maybe for greasing. Older boxes do not have that. Electrical questions don't make sense to me. If they ran a hot to your fuse panel everything after that should be switched. The control box gets it power from the...

    1983 Johnson 70hp Shift rod height?

    I will settle this. I believe hard is correct even though they are quite similar. Top days 99 through, bottom day 1980 through. In the original lace I found them if you hit visit 3 times you get this. It's sponsored by marine engine.com so who knows. There is subtle differences between the two.

    1983 Johnson 70hp Shift rod height?

    Yes, 80 and newer. But here is another posting and this one says T is for trim and tilt. Go figure.

    1983 Johnson 70hp Shift rod height?

    Lots of people say 2 stroke outboards somewhat can't be determined by compression. That being said, you need to have it. Being even is also important. That motor was around 140 new and I've seen that still run good at 100 or even 90. I've also seen them let go at 110. If your in the 120 to 130...
