    1993 15HP Evinrude gears

    A year ago October I purchased a 1993 15 HP Evinrude outboard motor (E15RLETB). Because of health reasons, I didn't use the motor until October this year. I really had no problem starting the motor, but within 15 minutes running it stopped going in forward. I tried reverse, and had that for a...

    Volvo Penta 270 Propeller #

    My neighbor purchased a 1984 Bayliner w/a Volvo Penta 270 Lower/stern drive. 15 minutes out, we lost the propeller, and I can't seem to find what the part number is for the prop.. It is a 3 blade 15/17, and I think it is a short hub. I can't find a serial number on the sterndrive either. The...

    Starter problems on 1982 25 hp Johnson

    :confused:The other day the starter on my 1982 25HP Johnson outboard ( Model # J25TELCNB) simply became week! I got it started, but after it stalled, it wouldn't start again. At times the "drive pinion" won't rise, but when it does it is having trouble turning the crank. I have a strong...

    25 HP remote throttle controls

    My boat is too small for steering console, so I use the tiller. It is a bit of a stretch to change gears, when coming into the dock, especially having to take my eyes off the docking process. I have the remote controls, for the motor, but of course they are very long cables. Is there a way to...

    Pee hole discharge 1982 25HP Johnson

    Yesterday, I noticed that the water that comes out the starboard side of my motor wasn't too strong. I call it the pee hole on the top starboard side, because it is just a little (1/8 inch or so) stream. I just replaced the water pump, the drive shaft seals, and the water flies out the back...

    25 HP 1982 Johnson water pump question.

    I'm installing a water pump kit on my 25 HP Johnson. After getting the kit, I noticed the drive shaft seals were bad too, so I ordered a pair...still waiting delivery. My question is, when I dropped the lower unit (long shaft), I didn't pay attention to where the "copper" water tube came out...

    1982 25 HP Johnson: AT WITS END!

    I rebuilt the carb., replaced all the fuel lines, new plugs, and this motor won't stay running! Fuel tank vent open, ball gets hard, will start, but cannot seem to adjust the high speed needle (there isn't a low speed needle)? A month or so of working on this, and now fishing season is here...

    82 Johnson running rough!

    My 1982 Johnson 25 HP Model # J25TELCNB outboard is running rough. Took off, and totally cleaned carb., replaced almost all wiring, sprayed carb. cleaner in cylinders, plenty of spark. It starts okay, seems to idle fine, then starts sputtering, and dies, but will restart. It smokes up a...

    Shifter extension. 1982 25 HP Johnson Water exhaust?

    Got my newly purchased 82 25 hp Johnson running in the water barrel yesterday. Water flowed from the 2 holes on the outside (away from boat/top) of motor, and just underneath the motor cover (starboard side), but I noticed water flowing out two (2) holes located on the inside (toward boat...see...

    1982 Johnson Electric start...How to pull start?

    I just finished rebuilding my newly purchased '82 Johnson 25 HP outboard. As some of you may remember me asking how to install a key switch, which I did, but now have a dumb question. If I need to pull start the motor, How do I do it? Turn the key to start, then pull? With the key in the off...

    Ignition Battery Wiring

    Okay, I crunched through the snow, opened the cowl on my (newly purchased) 1982 25 HP Johnson outboard, and took some pictures. My original question was to see a picture of the Ignition and Starter wiring, but I think I with this picture, I answered my own question. On the starboard side of...

    Ignition/Battery wiring pictures

    My brain and diagrams don't mingle. I purchased a 1982 25 HP Johnson, that the previous owner took out the ignition wiring, and the wiring for the battery. I've looked at wiring diagrams til I'm blue in the face, and still can't visualize how they are wired. If anyone could take off their...

    Gas tank fuel filter?

    I was just wondering, that with all the junk in the gas these days, would it be a good idea to install a filter in the gas tank fuel line? Also, last year my new marine gas lines got so brittle, so I replaced them with automobile 5/16 fuel line...much more flexible...good or bad idea!

    Often asked, but I have questions of my shaft length.

    Hi again... My 12' Landau boat transom is 20.5 inches, my new/used '82 25 HP Johnson long shaft is 23" to cav. plate. I had a short shaft on it at first, but even with a transom mount, it was too difficult to operate. My mind tells me that this new motor will be too low in the water? If I do...

    Lower unit gasket

    I'm replacing the prop. seals on my 1982 Johnson 25. Where the prop. housing meets the shaft, there is a strip of gasket (doesn't close). I've looked at several sites, but that particular gasket/seal is not listed for sale. It looks like it is nothing but a long (not connected) piece of...

    Fogging

    I just purchased an 1982 25 HP Johnson Long Shaft outboard. The previous owner told me he ran OUT of "fogging" oil, so didn't fog the engine in the Fall. It's winter here in Michigan, I don't have inside storage, so was wondering if I can still spray some fogging oil in the carb. and in the...

    Ted Williams 7.5 Outboard

    A few weeks ago, I noticed gas coming out of the top of the bowl below the carburetor. I ended up buying a used float, because the used lawn mower place didn't have a new one. Not long after, the same problem happened, but instead of going and getting another float, I put some "seal-all" on it...

    No neutral on Ted Williams 7.5 outboard

    I just purchased a SEARS Ted Williams 7.5 H.P. OUTBOARD MOTOR, Model# 217585870, Serial Number 5202399. The motor hadn't run in years, but with new gas, a little starter fluid, I got it started and running pretty good. One problem that has me confused is there is NO Neutral! I took off the...
