    Racer, thanks for your level headed response. Historically, the word patience and me never collided in the same sentence but I've paid a heavy price and I'm getting a little better. I'll take your advise and think this through a little better. I must be missing something. Here's a copy of the...

    70 hp Johnson Re-Locating WP Indicator to top of motor?

    Hello all. Getting close to that time again. Last fall I picked up a 17 ft. Tracker that has the 70 hp three cylinder Johnson/Tracker motor. Model #J70TLCE. From what I've read, this is the series of three cylinder motors that should have the water pump indicator outlet re-located from the side...

    Clutch on?

    My 25NS3 is running lean. I have my pilot adjustment screw set to 1 1/2 turns out. I just cleaned the carb and I'm looking at the factory manual. It says to "Set carburetor adjusting screw with the clutch on." Does that mean it needs to be in forward gear? Not sure what "clutch on" means? Help...

    Hello all. I've got an issue that the minn kota people are trying to figure out but no success so far. Here's the issue. I bought a PowerDrive V2 motor used.

    Could it be the Head Gasket?

    OK, here we go again with this 1987 Suzuki DT30. This is a two cylinder two stroke. It starts and runs great from mid to wot. This thing will scream and run like a clock all day at just under WOT. (4700 - 4800 rpm) It will idle OK (not great) at about 1100 rpm in neutral and about 1000 in gear...

    Tohatsu / Nissan / Outboard Grease Thread:

    Hello to all. Not trying to start another "what's the best outboard oil" thread but I need some recommendations. Once, I watched an outboard mechanic replace a power head and an impeller on one of my outboards. He was meticulous and seemed to use an assortment of lubricants (grease) on the...

    Hello again. (I do have a Tohatsu Manual which includes this model) Just successfully finished repairing a 10 year old leak in my rototiller transmission now onto the Nissan.

    No spark again. I've ohmed everything out and it starts from time to time and actually runs pretty well when it starts but now, right before the good fishing, I have no spark again. Edit I came upon an old thread that a member named rodbolt had one but I'm not sure he's still on the forum? You...

    Suzuki DT 30 has orange spark when it has spark?

    Re: Suzuki DT 30 has orange spark when it has spark? Good to know about the CDI. Haven't had the flywheel off yet. Seems like the next logical step. One thing that puzzles me is that I get proper ohm readings from the coils even when there is no spark? My manual(s) only suggest the ohm test...

    Looking for some advise. My motor is a 1987 DT30 twin cylinder single carb. When it starts it runs pretty well. (it's running now) Problem is that it will go through episodes where it won't start and won't spark. I can't trust this motor to get me back to the dock. So when I fish the river I...
