    1976 Johnson 75 HP Carb Jets

    Hi, I am installing a set of Boyensen Reeds in my 1976 Johnson 75 HP 3-cylinder outboard. I have read that I should change the low-speed jets when doing this. 1) It appears to me that these are fuel, not air, jets, so I should install a larger size, correct? The factory service manual...

    Propeller selection

    I have a 1976 Johnson 75 HP on a 17 ft bow-rider. Using an OMC 14x13 prop, that does not appear cupped, I run 6000 RPM and 29 MPH. I believe the tach is correct, I'm not sure about the speedometer. Switching to a new HUSTLER cupped 13.75x15 prop, I run 5000 RPM and 32 MPH I had expected...

    75ELR76D driveshaft

    I have my lower unit apart for replacement of seals and the driveshaft thrust bearing. The diveshaft appears to be two pieces. I do not intend to separate these (no need to) but I am curious about how they are held together. I want to make sure they are properly fastened before reassembling...

    1976 Johnson 75 HP lower unit

    I just joined this forum and I really think it's great. I recently purchased this engine and have a few questions. First, it seems difficult to find this engine in the parts web sites. Many (including Iboats.com I believe)don't list the 3-cyl 75 HP engines between 74 and 77. Is there...
