    Another Q about this '71 9.5hp

    did you try rotating the side knob which limits the throttle handle rotation this used to set the low limit to keep the engine idling properly rather than dyding out at to low a RPM rate. . when the idle is set properly just use the kill button switch to stop the engine.

    1995 25hp Johnson 2 stroke, what are the best years for the 25 hp?

    2 theories.... old ones are built better ...some are 60 years old and still run great if you don't mind an oldy parts available easy to fix basic issues like ignition carbs etc... new ones are better probably lighther, use less gas run at 50/1 oil mix but a 2 stroke is a 2 stroke...
