    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    actually..... when you consider just the taxes on a new 25hp (15% in Canada) a $3500 purchase - would carry almost $500 just in taxes. that engine depending on it's shape and basic TLC will last another 15-20 years . if not more ...... a lot cheaper than renting one on the annual...

    Johnson power pack testing

    your meter is probably 50 years and will work perfectly reading the AC converted into to DC by the "DVA" adapter which is only a simple rectifier with the condenser that allows the peaks of the sine waves to be accumulated and will give you what you want to know. DC wise. use the DC...

    sometimes the head gasket blows just at the junction between the 2 cylinders causing both PSI readings to fail.

    Rings for 4006E

    and all that black goo in a barrel is normal !! 2 strokes spit out a good % their fuel oil mix down the exhaust and washes out carbon deposits along with it....which is why they are forbidden on some lakes. Modern direct injection engines do not mix oil gas and run much cleaner. the...

    7mm spark plug wire crimp or spring type connector??

    you can reuse the old boot and pin prick/spring. the technique has worked for 75 years + they sell new ones also or use fully booted car wires using 7mm solid strand wire (no carbon) if you plan fixing more than 1 motor it may be cost effective at U$ pricing .... but just new boots is cheap...

    1981 Johnson 115 voltage regulator

    in theory if you expect a charging voltage around 14v the yellows should generate equal of slightly above 14 volts . the two "alternating" ac swings (+/-) will be redirected into your single + ouput voltage from the rectifiers diodes . set your meter to 50-100v AC and probe...

    2000 Evinrude FICHT Tilt and Trim will not work

    btw what was wrong with your PDP ?? the bottom D input feed of 12v has a history of cracked or cold solder joint easy to reweld if you are handy at this. since your T&T relays get their +12 source directly off the PDP it is possible your PDP is still defective. It may let enough...
