    25 hp. carb problems

    OK, so I buy and resurect an old 1969 25 hp. Johnson. I put in a new impeller, change the plugs, decarb, etc. She runs great at idle in a barrel so I decide to boat test her. She won't run at WOT, so I close the choke plate and she'll come up and run great. If I close the choke plate with...

    Magneto Cam

    I have a 1968 Johnson 20 hp. I'm trying to set the points and am having some malfunction. I can get one side gapped great, however the other side.....well, not so good of luck. Could the magneto cam be worn out on that side. Do magneto cams wear out???

    1996 25 hp Johnson 2cyl.

    Two questions. First one is that I start it up and with the choke (primer valve thingamabob) pushed in, it sucks the fuel line bulb down and dies pretty quickly. If I leave the choke (primer valve thingamabob) pulled out, it will run and doesn't draw down the fuel line bulb much and runs for...

    1968 20 hp wont crank out RPM's

    It idles like a champ, but wont even come close to WOT. It will go about half rpm's and sound like its bogging out and actually and eventually will loose some rpm if I stay on the throttlle very long. I've torn apart the carb and cleaned it out good taking extra time examining the high speed...

    6hp Johnson Carb

    I took apart the carburator and cleaned it up. On the high speed nozzle, there once was a rubber gasket of sorts, kind of like an incredibly small version the rubber gasket on the ends of your garden hose. Well I lost the dag nab thing. I put it back together anyway and now the motor bogs down...

    25 Evinrude won't run @ WOT

    I just acquired a 25 hp. 1974 Evinrude. She'll run great at idle and up to about mid range but soon as you pour the coals to her she bogs out and dies. If you pull the choke open the RPM comes up pretty good but not 100%. If you fiddle with the carb linkage with the throttle wide open it will...

    1976 6 horse Johnson

    I just acquired a 1976 Johnson that after not being run for 6 years started first pull. The thing is it would die at idle and run fair with more throttle. When I pulled the choke out at idle, it would run for a minute or two more before dieing. I was 100% sure I had a gummed up carb and was...
