    Age of 2HP Johnson Seahorse??

    I also have a 2HP Johnson that only had 60-75lbs of compression, but I turned it over with a drill motor and it started but soon as I took the drill off it died. I have a piston and rings ordered for it from Greece, but it won't be here until late February. I have the powerhead off and am down...

    That was what I was thinking, it may have been cavitating.

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    Somehow the bore got worn or whatever and a 1/4-20 was a bit sloppy when screwed in so I put a #7 metric in because that was the only thing that would tighten up well enough to suit me. I know it isn't the right bolt, but the previous owners have things out of wack.

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    Not so: The starter is what turns the wrong way, not the outboard motor. Nothing was hooked up wrong, the starter was made to turn clockwise and the bevel on its gear is for a clockwise turning starter.

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    The starter gear has to turn the opposite of what the flywheel has to turn, the flywheel or outboard has to turn clockwise therefore the starter gear has to turn counterclockwise, for whatever reason the starter that was on this turns the gear on the starter clockwise therefore making the...

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    I found another problem today, the starter works, because I used it to get my compression, But I had to take it off to get to the right side carb nut. I then noticed it only was being held on by one bold the closest one to the carb and it really wasn't tight and had a helicoil in it. that's when...

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    I just want to thank everyone who gave me their thoughts on my situation with the 1972 25 HP Johnson that had no spark. I finally have spark in both cylinders and have the carb apart soaking in acetone. there was some varnish in it, but the inlet needle valve looked good. I just spray them with...

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    Thanks for the diagram jimmbo, I may have fried my solenoid trying to jump the wires on the back of the starter switch. This cable the switch is on goes into the front of the motor and is held by two screws that holds it to a fitting. the two long wires that go to the battery are also inside...

    Please help, no spark and so lost

    I am having about the same problem, but with a much older 25 HP a 1972 that has both a tiller and remote wiring with a switch that has no key. It has great compression and it is electric start. I even had to put a positive wire to the starter's hot wire to get it to spin and that's how I tested...

    1972 Johnson 25 HP no spark

    I bought a 1972 25 HP Johnson outboard and can't get any spark, it has about 110 lbs of compression in both cylinders. It also has a tiller and remote wiring coming out of the front of it and another wire someone ran out the right side of it and I think that is for the electric choke. What do I...

    9.9 Evinrude / Carb upgrade

    I think you need a larger hole in the intake manifold to be able to gain from the larger carb.

    1971 7.5 Mercury Impeller Stuck

    I had to chisel one of the other day. I think they put the wrong size one on! I measured the drive shaft top, middle and just above the impeller housing and I got .438 every time. So I ordered a .438, WRONG ! ! The driveshaft was .456 inside the impeller housing, so I reordered a .456 and it...
