    2011 Tohatsu 15hp problem

    Hello. Last year before I put the boat up I started having an issue with the outboard. Starts and idles fine, when you give it throttle it revs up and sounds great but seems to just bury the back of the boat and drives up the front It was kind of scary and ended up going trolling speed back to...

    Am I better off running aviation fuel through my outboards? Im fed up with replacing floats. I have heard it has a higher lead content which could cause more build up but wouldnt that be better than using the garbage at the pumps? Thanks for any comments about using this...

    Johnson 2hp carb gasket question

    I am doing the carb on a 2 horse. On the high speed nozzle there was a gasket( 0302984/0331181) The one that came as a replacement has a larger inside diameter than its supposed to so it fits loose and would just fall off if I used it. Do I need to use this gasket? The reason I ask is because I...

    1983 Johnson 2hp high speed nozzle gasket question

    I am rebuilding the carb on this Johnson 2hp. There is a gasket that goes over the high speed nozzle(more like a think washer).

Does this sound about right? Also when I got this motor it had a J8C for a plug in it, is this the correct plug...

    Points gap question 73 Johnson 9.5

    I have spent alot of time with this one and I really want it to run its best. It runs OK but seems that it could be better. The last thing I thought it could be was points. The points gap on this was set more like at .15 rather than .20. I could get the gauge in at .20 but had to force it in...

    I just started this outboard for the first time of the year.

    Hello, I have 9.5 Johnson, runs great but I am having a hard time finding that correct rpm to shift. It will not shift unless in shift position on the tiller handle. The problem is the handle doesn't match up to the handle settings so its a crap shoot every time I need to shift. Also could use...
