Ignition problems:
1. Surges while idling
2. Backfires and stalls
3. Sometimes won't start at all (no spark on either wire - tested with air gap tester)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Points? Coil? Distributor? Timing?
The motor is RDSL-25D Johnson Seahorse 40
Thanks!!
I need help knowing how to drop the lower unit completely out of the upper unit. The lower unit is bad (cracked) and I have a replacement lower unit from an RDSL-23.
I'll need a step by step since it doesn't seem very obvious to me, especially how to release the shift pin.
Thanks
I just bought a fiberglass boat and had to tear out the blocks the seats were on because they were rotting. The problem is, I don't know how to build and install a new wooden box to put the seats on. How can you do this to a fiberglass hull?
I just bought a Johnson 40 HP Electric Seahorse outboard motor and the reverse/neutral cable is broken. Any suggestions on where I could get a new one and/or how to install it? I'm a first time boat owner.
