    This should be an interesting debate.

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    Yes, forged ones are the best...drop forged even better. Unfortunately, I just grab the closest hammer... because I have more than I can count.

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    In the case of salt, that's exactly right. Your trying to break it up or break it down.... Braking the bond. I also use the cold spray to speed up the process. In the end, I heat up the female side of the equation and it's not always in the threads but also in the shank. You can tell how or...

    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    Any salt evidence or not ...if not sure post pictures. Your talking about the "red headed stepchild" she ate the apple, so that's a tough one sometimes. My go to is heat and crayons now... definitely taught this old dog new tricks. Old guys around salt water motors say heat the bolt, not the...

    2002 Johnson 150 (Carb) Oiler Delete

    I should add, that it's much more "convenient" to use the oil bottle for that fuel consuming lady and it's very reliable. The oil diaphragm is bathed in oil so it stays soft and supple, it's the fuel side that dies (easy replacement) and it floods the motor causing little to no harm. Lots of...

    2002 Johnson 150 (Carb) Oiler Delete

    No, it won't burn up the pump. Simple diaphragm that runs off a pulse. Make sure you premix your gas/oil to 50/1.

    Agreed, should be easy to find a link...paying for one? Not needed. Test prop, test tank. Tanks are easy to find or easy to make....big, fan and some flaps. BE CAREFUL!

    1989 Johnson GT 200

    Checking the fuel delivery system is always good but I'm not sure if it's needed. The ball not being tight could represent a problem but then again might not. Perhaps I can suggest this. Remove the spark plugs, and spin the motor and make sure there's no fuel inside. Reinstall and now you're...

    Wot onna 30hp johnson on the trailer

    Go make a small log boom and pull it around. Safer and you can buck it up for firewood. Most here know I have lots of logs around!

    1988 25hp Evinrude - No Start

    Well congrats....those are very good little utilitarian outboards.. I have quite a few. Some observations though. It may not run so good after you put it on a boat and put it on a load but it seems to be running on all cylinders. When I look at your link and sync closely, and unless you've...

    Wot onna 30hp johnson on the trailer

    Yeah, most will not sign off on that in this forum. My uncle used to tie the boat to a dock to put it on a small load while doing other tests... The "do it yourself" test is out on the water with a partner but your little motor should not need that. Answer post number 3 for help. You have...

    Kicker Motor

    Well circa 2015....my gas sipping E-tec ran out of fuel within site distance of my local marina...at night no less. My 4 stroke kicker was plugged into the main tank. My local dealer called it a Yamarude. After talking with the coast guard while my super grumpy friend came and saved my but, I...

    Those E-tec's are super sippy. Unless it's changed, better fuel milage and pollution standards on any gas outboards.

    1988 25hp Evinrude - No Start

    Race nailed it...I just reminded you. Wires coming from power pack are orange with blue or green strips. Blue (sky), goes to upper coil...green (grass) goes to lower. Or leave it now that you swapped leads. (Not) Other wires like trim and tilt are the same.

    1988 25hp Evinrude - No Start

    Seems you never checked the ignition coil to power pack connections. Swap plug wires to check as Mr Racer has suggested.
