Re: Replacing Shorting switch
In an effort to help out the next guy, I've marked up an photo with where to pry to flatten out the tabs that hold the housing to the terminals. Being a very visual person, a picture is worth a 1000 words........
Re: 1974 Johnson 9.9 Won't start
Thank you Joe. I have the carb apart and am about to put it in solvent for the night. All rubber and plastic has been pulled. I have attached 3 pictures that I have questions about. There are 2 core plugs I can see. One is larger and the second smaller...
The button for the shorting switch on my '74 9.9 is broken and I have one on a donor motor I'd like to replace it with. It should be just a matter of swapping them across but I cannot remove them because the housing (clip) that clip into the wires going to the ignition are too big to fit...
I was finally able to start working on this motor and it would not start.
I began by removing the carb and spraying it out with carb cleaner and compressed air. There was rust on the outside of the float bowl but none on the inside. The float was a cork one and was a black color but was hard...
I am trying to remove the lower unit to do an impeller on a 1989 Evinrude 9.9 but it will not go into reverse so I can get access to the bolts to disconnect the shift rod. I have tried what the Machinist recommends by pulling on the starter chord and that turns the flywheel the prop but while...
Hello,
I am currently working on a 7.5 Evinrude. It is running very well and usually starts on the first pull. Unfortunately the serial number and model plate has been removed and I can't figure out what year it is. I am pretty sure it's between a 1980 and 1984 but I would prefer to figure...
I purchased a very clean 1978 2 hp Johnson 2R78R that has nostalgic value to me because I remember my Dad replacing our old Evinrude 60 with a 1978 Johnson 115. It was an awesome motor.
Anyhow, I just pulled it out from winter storage and put it in a bucket of water to give it a good run. I...
Re: Removing a Tiller handle - Johnson 9.9
It turns out this is a 15 hp Evinrude not a 9.9 Johnson. They are the same configuration though.
The model is E15RCRM. I'll try to upload 2 pictures. Everything soaked in Move-It penetrating oil last night but the bolt head is stripped enough that I...
I have a fair bit of play in the tiller handle so I would like to remove the bolt that connects it to the motor but while the nut spins freely the bolt head is close to striping so I'd rather ask than to move forward with this and end up having to cut it out.
To remove the bolt that holds the...
Hello,
A friend and I purchased a Lowe FM 169 fishing boat. It is a good boat but back in 2001 when they came out Lowe hadn't figured out the best way to do seating for 4 yet and it was WAY too cramped for adults to sit in the 4 provided seats. I was at Cabelas the other day and the grandson...
I did a bunch of searching last night and could not find anything explaining this. If I'm looking in the wrong places I apologize but here is my situation.
I was pulling the impeller off my 1983 Johnson 9.9 2 stroke motor and when I did the drive shaft lifted up about 2 or 3 inches. I have...
