    Johnson 7.5 & 6 hp lower end interchangebility

    I'm looking to buy a Johnny-Rude motor for my Zodiac. Interested in 7.5 or 8 hp due to weight considerations. I came across a seller who has two Johnsons for sale. One is a 6hp (std shaft) in good working order, the other is a 7.5hp (1982, long shaft) that has no spark (he said the coil was...

    Help ID an Evinrude outboard

    I only got these photos. Any ideas on year, model and HP? S/N plate says: 18202R C 58527 I'm guessing it has to be after 1962 since the patent note lists up to that year. EDIT: I think it may be an 18 hp from 1972. But could be mistaken.. Thanks

    Control knobs for 1979 Evinrude 4HP

    Hi All, A couple of years ago, I purchased a 1979 Evinrude 4HP of unknown condition. I finally made the time to go through it and restore it to use on my Zodiac. I checked compression and came to 100 & 95 psi. But I found spark on one plug only. Traced the issue to the Power Pack (coils are...

    Video of my 1.2 Gamefisher (Tanaka) run after servicing

    Just serviced it and it is running good. Albeit a small fuel leak from the carb bowl, which I have to investigate. Any idea why the previous owner covered the two small holes in the exhaust pipe (about half way down) with Aluminum foil tape? What do they do anyway?

    Air-cooled Tanaka 1.2 calls for TC-W oil !!

    The manual of my 1.2HP Tanaka (Sears Gamefisher) calls for 50:1 of TC-W (BIA certification) oil even though it is an air-cooled motor. It is my understanding that air-cooled 2-cycle motors use API-TC oil (as they run hotter) and that TC-W oils are meant for water-cooled engines (as they run...

    Advice on a 4HP Evinrude with a slant prob

    Got a lead on a 4HP Evinrude within my budget. Owner bought it and did not like that it doesn't have a neutral so he is letting it go. He says he got it started after changing the spark plug. I intend to use it on my inflatable boat (similar to an Intex Mariner 4) and I got a couple of...
