    Sputtering out and dying

    I have a 1976 Johnson 25 HP outboard. It continues to sputter out and die even after testing and replacing parts. I converted it over the the universal magneto from the low tension magneto because I have all the extra parts (and I like universal magneto better). Motor has brand new points (i...

    Favorite replacement points?

    Motor I just bought needs new points. I was wondering which brand is the next to order? I’ve had some mixed results with sierra points in the recent past.

    What type of gas tank for '79 Johnson 35hp?

    I would just get a nice modern plastic tank. I just bought a 6.6 gallon Moeller tank that’s been great so far.

    I got a new trailer couple weeks ago, and I got a powerdrive trolley motor installed about 3 weeks ago. My rig is basically dialed in and ready to go as soon as the trolley motor is ready to go.

    Never thought to test it on back of the boat. What a great idea! Fresh set of points, swapped long leg and put new impeller in. Everything seems to run as it should! I’m going to try to get off early to go to the lake south of me this afternoon to run the snot out of this motor!

    my mom has a nice 2 acre pond. I think taking my motor up there and running on that pond the perfect place to do some testing!

    I really thought you were joking about the box fan. I’ve never heard of that one. This motor has been smoking a ton today especially. I’m willing to try anything. I haven’t been able to fish in over a month now. I’ll get motor out to the lake and try to run her. River is closest thing to me...

    For the spark I’m gonna test my points and condensers with an ohmmeter and clean the points. I have the tool with the front and back arrows that allows me to set the timing with the meter as well. I think this repair will be a little time consuming but pretty easy. The carb sucking...

    Have you ever seen this?

    It will spit, sputter and randomly die in neutral even. Like runs great and intermittently runs like crap.
