    1988 Force Spark Issue

    I picked up a 1988 Force 50 HP. I also picked up a parts motor from the same guy. The guy said that he had switched out the coils on the motor. The motor I am working on has the blue coils and power pack. The other set does not have a separate power pack. It looks like there are two...

    Johnson Evinrude Lower Unit Swap

    I have a 1999 Johnson 130 HP that has a hole in the lower unit. I have a 1988 Evinrude 90 HP and a 1985 Evinrude 100 HP unit. Is it possible to swap the drive shaft and shift shaft and use either of these lower units on the 1999 Johnson 130?

    Evinrude Tilt Trim Motor Identification Help

    I believe the tilt trim was added after the fact so the model number is no help. It is on a 1974 Evinrude 85 HP. Can anyone help me determine a part number for the motor and/or motor and reservoir? Thanks in advance.

    1974 Evinrude 85 HP Water Tubes

    When I dropped the lower unit there were no guide tubes. It looks like someone has possibly added a copper bushing and 3/4 inch to an inch more cobber tubing to what is already there. I guess my question is does this seem ok? It does not appear to me that the guide tubes would fit over the...

    1982 Evinrude 115 HP Compression

    Compression on one cylinder is low at 70%. I pulled the heads and the cylinder wall and piston look good. Any ideas on what else I should be looking for? Thanks

    1981 Johnson 140 HP Primer

    When at idle it will cough (more like a hiccup) and the fuel lines going from the fuel pump to the carbs jumps just a little bit. Also with one of my recirculation hose off the block it coughs a little like a spit when it does it. When I turn the valve from facing the primer to away it stops...

    Stringer Remote with Johnson 140 Johnson = Won't reach full throttle

    I just put this motor on the boat. I put the controls on and apparently don't know how to adjust them properly. When I take the throttle as far forward as it will go, the timer base doesn't get to it stop and the carbs still have a little movement left. Is there anything I can do to adjust...

    1981 Johnson 140 Revs out of control

    The motor revs out of control when I start it. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this. I mean it is scary the rpms it is getting to. Is there a vacuum hose or something? J140TLCIM is the model. Linkage seems to be fine.

    1987 Mariner Tilt Trim Removal

    1987 Mariner 150 HP. I have all of the bolts off and the top pin loose. The whole tilt trim unit is moving around but there does not seem to be enough room for it to get out from between the transom bracket. Any ideas?

    1977 Johnson 140 HP Firing Issues

    I have a 1977 Johnson 140 HP. It has been setting up for a long time. I am getting spark on only one cylinder. I have tested the stator output and it is good. I am only getting .3 volts or so on the sensor checks between white/black and black/white. The ohms check on the wires was a little...

    Transom Swivel Bracket

    I have a 1977 Johnson and a 1978 Evinrude. The 78 has a good tilt/trim unit so I want to put it on my 1977. The tilt trim does not fit the bracket. My question is will my swivel bracket from the 1978 fit the 1977? I sure don't want to take it apart and find it does not fit. Thanks in advance.

    1979 Mercury Ignition

    Ok using my DVA I have low voltage going to my coils when the wire is hooked up. When I disconnect the wire from the coils I get 160 volts to the wire. Does this mean my coil packs are bad? Same on all of them. 1979 115 ELPT

    1979 Mercury Lower Unit Help

    Part # 15 in the picture is an o ring. Can someone tell me exactly how it will go? Will it go at the bottom of the base or fit over the bottom of the base?

    Switch Box 1979 Mercury 115 HP

    Serial number is 5416647. I was doing a resistance test on the stator and did not take the wires of the switch box. I was getting continuity between the red and blue. I pulled the wires off and determined that the continuity was in the switch box. I tested the other box and it did not have...
