    '81 Johnson 9.9 Recoil Keeps Locking

    Model is J10RCID. Every time (or almost) I go to pull the cord, it is locked. It started slowly, I used to be able to adjust the throttle a bit and it would release for me and it would start. Now I have to remove the cover and hold back the red piece in the pic. Is there a quick fix for this...

    Steering Bracket Stops Engine from Trimming....

    Hey everyone... Got a Big Twin 40 on a 14ft runabout, the steering is a single heavy line coming from the right side of the boat. Once it comes through the gunnel, it is mounted to a bracket on the transom... then an extension runs to the motor. Works great, if you don't need to trim your motor...

    Propshaft Seal Question '58 18hp FD-12

    Hello again... I ordered a gear-case seal kit from ebay and instead of 1 large driveshaft seal, I seam to have 2 smaller ones. I've done some reading on here and have seen it said that others have had the same thing, however I found nothing on the orientation of installation. How do they go...

    '64 40hp Big Twin

    Model 40402s, I have some unburnt fuel mix seeping from my front right hand starter motor mount bolt. The bolt runs through the intake manifold an maybe the reed block too... how bad is this?

    '62 Mercury Twin 25hp Push Button Shift

    Hey there everybody, an old man down the road has given me this motor. The serial is 1499226 and it is white, the only thing visibly missing is the gearcase/foot. I assume they aren't very common, I can't find much online about them so I was wondering what value this unit has as a parts motor...

    Choke Switch '76 Merc 200

    Hello everyone, My serial # is 7077738 and it's a 20hp, my issue is my choke knob does not stay engaged when I pull it. I have a spare engine with a working assembly, but I can't seem to take the knob off to remove it from the lower cowl. Must be something simple I am missing here :redface...

    '58 FD-12 Super Lean

    Starting a new thread here guys... Hope that's Ok:redface:... lol I've cleaned and reinstalled the carb on this engine replacing the packing washers only. The float was good and the float needle seems fine, doesn't stick and is not grooved so I kept it. The packing however, came out in pieces...

    1958 Johnson FD-12 Starter Recoil Trouble

    Well it happened. I picked up an oldie for $100:D, and it's in fantastic shape for it's age. Except the starter:(. It seems the rope let go from the anchor, and now the unit is locked and only moves 1.5" or so before stopping dead. According to the manual at boatinfo.no I need to disassemble...

    Evinrude 40853A Compatable With 40253 ?

    Just what it says, I have a service manual for the 1972 40HP, but I own the 1968 40HP. How far off the mark are these 2 models from each other, aside from the obvious...? Might be a silly question, but I figured someone would know....

    Hey guys, Big Jay here again.... Got some new Plug Leads from the dealer today with my new coils for my Evinrude:). I told him I needed a foot and a half in length and would trim it accordingly upon installation. However, he gave me 2 leads at about a foot in length:(. At first I thought he...

    Re: "Walking" Flywheel... Ok... lol I won't argue with you haha! I don't want to change it if I don't have to. Here are some pic's of where I'm at right now: I had already cleaned up the shaft area, wish I hadn't because you can't see the greasy oil build up that was there. You can also see...

    Chrysler 1978 6hp Model 62B8J

    Hey guys, was ready to trade out my 6 hp Chrysler for a snowmobile here and took it to test it and make sure I wasn't ripping the guy off. Turns out I was. She's running only on 1 cylinder but will catch the second at high RPM sometimes... I've rebuilt the carb as best I can without a kit (no...

    "Walking" Flywheel...

    Re: "Walking" Flywheel... There's not metal shavings indicative of a spun key, but there is erosion between the tapers as you can see from these pics. Should it not just fit like a glove once torqued down again?
