    Re: Cracked case intake side. 84 25hp Sorry I guess I can post pics from my phone. I'll get one of the case soon. Thanks a lot. I can't see this as being a common problem but the only thing I could think what caused it is either over or under torquing the bolt. Or possibly a defective case...

    What premix ratio should I be running in this 1984 25hp johnson

    Currently I'm at 40:1 I am under the impression that it should be 50:1 but it was my first time running this after it was sitting for a while, say 3 years. So I wanted a little more lubricant. Is 50:1 correct or is it 25:1?

    1984 20hp Johnson lower unit spit case to a through prop exhaust?

    Hey guys I have a 20 and a 25 hp both 1984 Johnson seahorse. My original intentions was that the 20 had a bad lower unit which is why I bought the 25hp one at a steal for 100.00.
