    1956 Johnson 15 hp fuel issues

    Thank you for the response that helps a ton! I believe I need to diagnose if the fuel pump is any good via the blow test and then work from there. I'm sure I got the lines mixed up, although i did follow the diagram instructions i think. Bought it cheap on Amazon though so who knows. And...

    Hi everyone, I just have a couple basic questions. So before messing with my ignition system I decided to do a compression test. I'm not sure how long the motor has been sitting. I can turn the flywheel by hand but I'm worried the starter could damage rings or cylinder walls with little...

    1986 35 HP Mercury Flywheel Magnets and Spark Plugs

    Hi everyone, I purchased a 1982 Bomber Sportsman boat by Fiber King in the fall. I'm just starting to dig into the motor('86 35 hp Merc). The previous owner said it ran alright until the "flywheel magnets came off". The seller did give me the magnets. My question is how hard is it to put...
