    Does anyone know where I could get an original ad for 1955 Johnson seahorse 10hp, besides ebay. I have a sweet little vintage Johnson that runs like a top and I would like to have an old ad for it.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Jroberts :)

    Transom going bad.

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I have a 1984 Bayliner Trophy 1910. The transom has cracked pretty bad, leading me to think that the wood has began to rotten. The crack extends from one of the lower mounting bolts to the other and it leaks water. I took it to a fiberglass shop and they wanted to redo the...

    buying a new motor

    Hi fellas,<br /><br />I am about to buy a new motor, my outboard mechanic told me to make sure it is a mercury or yamaha two stroke. He exclaimed that most mechanics don't want to work on four strokes as they are expensive to work on, require special tools and education. He says that mercury...

    Force 125

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I have a Chrysler Force outboard 125. The model is 1258x4a. I was wondering if anyone knew what year this is, I think it is a 1984. It runs great, but I have some corrosion under the calander, like bolts and some pitting on the head. Is there anyway to keep this corrosion...

    end of the rope

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I have talked about this motor that I have multiple time on this forum, but I am now at the end of my rope. I purchased a QD-16 1955 Johnson 10hp. I probably has less than 5 hours on it. When I first got it, it cranked up and ran for about 15 min, then died all of a...

    I am currently converting my old Johnson seahorse 10hp (QD-16 10hp) from a pressurized system to a modern system. I am wondering if anyone has any input on the subject. Briggs and straton make a bolt on diaphram fuel pump for small engines (size is about 2X2inches) 1/4 inch ports, that runs...

    1955 Johnson Seahorse 10hp

    This is in reference to the topic I posted two days ago. I really appreciate all of the many people that responded to the topic. I have narrowed the carb problem to a problem with the gas going from the sediment bowl to the carb bowl. Everything else is good. The motor will crank right away...

    1955 Johnson Seahorse

    I have a 1955 Johnson seahorse that will fire right up but won't stay running very long. I cleaned the carburator but did not mess with anything. It has new spark plugs. I don't know how to set the lean/rich valve, but I put them all the way in and backed them out 1 1/4 turns out. Any input...

    Johnson Seahorse 10hp

    I have recently purchased an old Johnson Seahorse 10hp from an elderly lady down the road. She claims that she never remembers her late husband ever using it. From looking at the prop and the motor, I would say there is not more than 5 hours on it. The model is QD-16, but there is no year...
