    1969 Johnson Outboard - gas spitting out of carburetor

    All, I have gas spitting out of the front of my carburetor only when the motor is running. I can squeeze the gas ball and it will firm up not allowing me to pump more gas to carburetor bowl and thus my hypothesis is that the float/needle will seal up property and not allow me to squeeze...

    2007 Azure AZ 220 Bow Walk Through Door (maybe a crownlike 240ex door would work?)

    All, I am the proud owner of a 2006 AZ220DB Azure deck boat. I absolutely love the boat (particularly after I installed trim tabs). The one thing I do not like is it does not have a bow walk through (bi-fold type door) that was an option. I have looked high and low to find the OEM...

    Starcraft Mariner 14' Date of Manufacture

    All, I just bought a cabin and a Starcraft boat came with. The motor is a 1969 Electric Start Johnson and while the title claims this boat is a 1982 I am skeptical as the there is absolutely no HIN anywhere on the transom or side of boat. The title references a HIN of 585382 (which would...

    Force 50 hp Lower Unit Leaking Oil & Water from Bolts

    Re: Force 50 hp Lower Unit Leaking Oil & Water from Bolts ALL, I was able to jury rig a pressure test. Looks like the only area where I have leaking is around the shift rod seal as there were no bubbles around the propeller shaft and the drive shaft. NOTE - I also tested the fill and vent...

    Force 50 hp Lower Unit Leaking Oil & Water from Bolts

    Re: Force 50 hp Lower Unit Leaking Oil & Water from Bolts All, I've attached some photos of what I found when I dropped the LU form the motor leg. In two of the photos you can see the gear oil that somehow made it's way out of where it is suppose to be. In the other photo you can see where...

    Force 50 hp Lower Unit Leaking Oil & Water from Bolts

    I have an 1990 outboard I recently purchased and unfortunately don't know the history. I took off the lower unit and looked at the impeller and all looks fine. I also flushed the lower unit oil and added new. I ran the engine on muffs 2 weeks ago and all looked and sounded well. When I...

    Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak

    Re: Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak All, I'm circling back to report frustrating news. I cannot seem to get this to work. I have tried various size o-rings with a cross section (CS) of 1/8. The grove in the 'trim piston ram' (not sure correct term) definitely appears to be suited for a...

    Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak

    Re: Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak Guys, Thanks for the guidance on taking apart the trim piston and the further thoughts on my problem. I ended up taking apart the trim piston as after the second tear down of my valve body looked all to specs (except for the plug caps that are now stuck...

    Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak

    Re: Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak Guys, A bit of an update here. Unfortunately I have to report only partial success. Whereas before the slow leak would cause my motor to drop completely within 5-10 minutes, I'm now have a motor that will drop about 3/4 over a week. I've posted a part...

    Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak

    Re: Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak All, I'm continuing to add to this post I as read and re-read other posts on the subject. I've finally figured out where the o-rings go and have taken apart the very bottom of my valve body. I'm noting two different colors of o-rings which may indicate...

    Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak

    Re: Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak Guys, I decided I'd just open up my valve body. It came apart surprisingly easy (as if it had recently been taken apart. I recently purchased the motor) as nothing was stuck or corroded. All the tubes and tube ends seemed in good shape. Granted, it is...

    Tilt / Trim Force 50hp - Slow Leak

    All, I'm new to the site and still learning and while I see a ton of info on tilt and trim issues, I'm still confused. I have a slow leak down issue on my 1990 Force 50hp and I am not sure how to fix it. I've seen people reference o-rings or bleeding it out, etc.., but I'm just now sure how...
