    1969 Johnson 55hp

    I put it on the water and for the first time out the engine never overheated. I did have many other issues that were my own causing. I had removed the points and condensor to check for part numbers, wanting to order some spares. I put them back on wrong cause the engine surged pretty bad, and...

    1960 15032

    I dont really know your engine, but your points should open at close to top dead center. Every engine is different, but generally at idle, the points open at TDC or at less than 7 degrees after TDC. You should have some sort of mechanical timing advance. That should allow the point to open at...

    Evinrude 35HP Outboard

    Seems to be running fairly well in the video. If your only having trouble at the top end under load, its probably worth trying to clean the high speed jets again in the carburetor. It took me at least 4 times before I really knew what I was doing.

    1960 15032

    A few things come to mind from my own struggles. I once installed a set of points in such a way that the gap between the condenser connector and base was smaller than the point gap. Points would intermittently arc to the base rather than actually opening the circuit. Once I also managed to...

    1969 Johnson 55hp

    I made some minor improvement in the flow with my hack seal job. Now I can clearly tell i have exhaust leaks in the exhaust housing and lower unit. Probly the combination of exhaust leaks and little to no seals around the pump was contributing to the limited flow. Worked alright on muffs for...

    1990 40hp evinrude

    I dont really know that ignitions system, but I always start with the cheap and easy stuff first. Make sure everything is still connected, that you didnt trip a kill switch, that a wire isnt shorting or burned, that the fuses are intact. After that your probably gonna want a service manual or...

    1990 40hp evinrude

    There should be an ohm spec for that stator. You could check it that way. Otherwise it only can serve 2 functions. Ignition and charging the battery

    1969 Johnson 55hp

    Whew... water pump parts for this thing are high.. Too high to throw parts at it to hope. I made a gasket for the underside of the pump plate and applied a thin coat of rtv where the other surfaces mated. I applied a liberal coat of vaseline to the failing seals above the top of the water...

    1971 Johnson 60hp cdi box issue

    Sounds like your cdi is wired incorrectly. The cdi box should only discharge to the coil when the points open. On my cdi box there are 4 wires. 12v supply voltage, 12v to the points, a tach signal, and a coil discharge. If your wired differently. Stop and find the wiring diagram for the cdi...

    1967 evinrude 80 hp need help.

    This is the oil seal I was thinking of. Its not part of the water pump kit for my motor. Good luck on the tear-down, and post pics of your procedure and what you find.

    1969 Johnson 55hp

    I managed to get a section of 5/16" fuel line stuffed into a water hose. Rigged that up to shoot water up each of the Copper pipes. Water flows up to the thermostat housing. So Im gonna say the problem is with some of these seals here.

    1967 evinrude 80 hp need help.

    What a mess...I have a different motor, but on mine there is an oil seal for the gear case under the water pump housing.

    1969 Johnson 55hp

    Got it. after extensive research (2-pages later in the service manual) the pressure valve is just a check valve and spring located at the top of the inflow copper tube. I think Ill rig up water hose to prove the cooling circuit from the copper inflow water tube to return copper tube is...

    1969 Johnson 55hp

    Well shoot. I pulled the lower unit last night to check the impeller and sure enough, its still in great condition. So now I have a large checklist to go through, and I may have to start removing exhaust covers and the heads. Looks like Ill be making a bunch of gaskets. Anyone know where i can...

    '93 Johnson 140 hp 2 stroke rpm issue

    Could be a bent propeller vane, or a loose engine mount.

    1969 Johnson 55hp

    Im still pluggin along with this boat. I have the majority of the fuel, ignition, and timing bugs worked out. My problem now is getting the forward controls and throttle links all correctly adjusted, as well as a major overheating problem. I probably toasted the impeller, Ive been doing lots...

    69 Woodson Tri-hull with 68 Johnson 55hp

    More failures, but also more progress. I made it out 3 times over the long weekend. Wasn't too busy if you got to the ramp before noon. After noon, well that was different. Either way I'm calling it. Splashed. I was able to launch it run it and anchor it out so we could swim and goof off. I...

    69 Woodson Tri-hull with 68 Johnson 55hp

    I took some time away this month. Took the family out for some camping and adventures. It was a good time, saw some old friends and enjoyed some better weather. Made it back in time to celebrate a milestone birthday for the admiral. After that I spent a day with the boat, before returning to...

    69 Woodson Tri-hull with 68 Johnson 55hp

    Making a little more progress. Got the cap mated to the hull. Had to tug on it with a ratchet strap a bit and push it around some. Got the holes lined up with the top and bottom and the rub rail sections. After I popped in the 50 rivets ( still need 25 more), I went ahead and installed all...

    69 Woodson Tri-hull with 68 Johnson 55hp

    I hope everyone had a good 4th. We sure did. Dad came back on Sunday to help with getting the motor mounted. Put it back on the cherry picker and checked that we had everything lined up. I drilled it in several stages. Initial holes were drilled out to 7/8" then filled with resin and milled...
