    Help please! 1988 Johnson outboard lack of power and stalls.

    You either did not put the nozzle gasket on. That goes inside the float bowl. Or you put the top gasket on backwards. The idle circuit is in that top cover. To set the float hold the carb upside down and set the float to level.

    Mercury 115 2+2

    I would be very careful about overevving that motor. Anything over 5250 and there is a great chance of breaking a piston skirt. Get a tach if it doesn't have one.

    Another day another motor, another problem. Help, please

    I think those #s are fine for that motor.

    Mercury 115 2+2

    What is the health of the motor? A 19" pitch aluminum would be a good all around prop for that. Your MAX Rpms should be 5250. A 10" pitch should have sent the RPMs through the roof. A 10" would be a terrible choice for skiing. I buy the Factory manual for that motor and start doing test.

    1988 Sears Gamefisher 9.9 - ignition problem

    That coil looks cracked and has burn marks. If what I am seeing is correct it needs to be replaced.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    Did you use the correct gaskets? Is that the carb that uses a little hose in the float bowl? If it is make sure that is connected.

    93 Johson 150hp fuel issue

    You need to clean and rebuild the carbs. If that is a looper motor make sure you clean the calibration pockets. Also buy a factory manual.

    15 probably needs to be about 3 turns out from lightly seated.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    Check for spark. Maybe have the low speed screw set to lean? Using the primer choke? Using the throttle?? Compression test done pulling briskly 5 times for each cylinder.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    My McCullochs were running 100-1 on factory oil in 1964. No special bearings then. It was just good quality factory oil and never had a problem. So yes easy to prove me being right. My McCulloch was rated 75 hp at 5600 rpm.

    Run it.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    Well you and Racer can both be wrong on this one. A little more knowledge on your part would go a long way. Those motors failed after long term storage not while they were running. That is no secret. As fars as oil technology goes McCulloch was running 100-1 on their oil back in 1964.

    97 Evinrude E50ESLEUS trim/tilt relay location??

    That motor does not have tilt and trim. The SPL models were more of a budget motor usually not having tilt and trim. It should have some kind of tilt assist.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    I don't care what people decide to run in their motors. But to say it can't be done is not true. Run what you want. People need to know only certain oils can run 100-1 not all of them can.

    97 Evinrude E50ESLEUS trim/tilt relay location??

    Put up a pic of the lower cowling specifically the one on the CDI side.

    97 Evinrude E50ESLEUS trim/tilt relay location??

    Is this motor new to you? I see nothing on that motor that says you have tilt and trim. There should be 3 wires with bullet connectors that should be hanging by the CDI box. Those would be for the remote switch in the lower cowling. I also do not see any relays. The T missing in your model #...

    97 Evinrude E50ESLEUS trim/tilt relay location??

    Are you missing a T in the model #? Facing the front of the boat. On the right side of the power head is a plastic cover under that is the relays. They will be with the Cdi box and regulator. Does your motor have T/N/T?
