    another dumb question

    I took this lower unit off seven years ago so reassembling it has been interesting to say the least. It's about ready to go back on, and all parts are accounted for, except I have one O ring that I'm not sure about. (It's about 1/2" ID)<br /><br />There is a groove just below the spline at the...

    58 superseahorse intake screen

    I've just replaced the water pump on my 58 Super Seahorse 35hp RDSL 20. That went well and I'm planning to install the lower unit next. I noticed that the screen over the water intake is clogged looking, so I decided to remove and clean it. There's only one problem ... I see no way to remove...

    need carburator expert advice

    I'm rebuilding the carburator on my 1958 super seahorse 35 horse RDSL-20. I just assembled the new needle & seat, and installed the float.

    I am rebuilding the electric starter for my 1958 Johnson 35hp Super Seahorse, and I've had no luck finding good part numbers. Except for the top sleeve bearing (bushing), the inside of the starter looks pretty good. In fact, if I have to, I can reuse everything but that one bearing, but I'd...

    1958 35hp Super Seahorse compression troubles

    I think its been 7 years since I've had this one running. It's an electric start 1958 Johnson Super Seahorse. This motor came with my 16' Richline, and back then it took only points, a new coil and some head scratching to make it push the boat at about 25 mph, which wasn't bad. I remember the...

    15 hp jumping while in forward

    My buddy's 15 horse Evinrude, model #15404 S, has started jumping occasionally when running in forward. When the skip happens, it sort of feels like the motor is hitting a log. This seems to be happening more and more often. His repair guy told him that the repair would be very expensive and...
