Re: johnson 60hp wot year

I cannot access the practicalboating.com forums. Are they now only open to registered users?
(I was kicked out anyway for frequently referring users to iBoats and challenging the moderation)

You can upload a picture here as an attachment but I find uploading to a photo-hosting site such as Photobucket and linking to the photo there is a better way.

What we really need to ID the year is the model number which should be on a plate on the transom bracket but is sometimes also on a core plug on the power head

Is it me or are the new posters coming to this site illiterate? This is the second person to use the acronym for Wide Open Throttle for the word "what" in two days. It's like we are paying homage to a new race of 15 years old who can't speak or write.

Your picture link was just a path to another boat forum, now I have to go wash my hands! I'm loyal to IBoats.

if you cannot answer the question thats ok. But do not forget when your dead and gone. Its the boys like me who will full your boots. If u slag off all the young ones and be rude. Maybe this site will close. Think next time......

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Hey now you are clear and concise and people can understand what you are trying to say, I didn't even realize you were asking a question until you just pointed that out. What you were attempting to do was have other people check out another site and asking a question of what year your Johnson was when the post you provided had absolutely nothing to do with it. I believe they call it trolling, how fitting, trolling, LOL, I crack myself up. And it's the boys like you that will "fill" my boots and I hope to god you do it well. What's this site got to do with the fact that you come on here and ask everyone to go look at another site to post photos to another boating forum, you can post photo's to this site without issue, use a photo site like imageshack or flickr.com. I guess that's how people keep their free sites like iboats forums at a minimum operating cost, by not having people suck up drive space with images. Pretty smart if you ask me but what do I know, I'm just being rude by pointing out the obvious. And I do think all the time and I do stand by what I said in my previous post against your lack of respect to come onto the site and speak how you did. I spend time researching fixes for things, constantly have my manuals open, search other sites for answers to people's questions and problems. It's called helping others. So next time when your boat or motor or whatever it is you own doesn't run right, think about asking the question with some respect for the others on this site and maybe people like me won't come back with the equivalent answers.

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Hello there Sean

I would like to point out that i would have helped you with your question if I could.

I attempted to view your photos on Practicalboating.com but you did not give a direct link to them, just to the site as a whole and in any case the site does not now seem to be accessible to non registered users ... at least i have not been able to view it for a week or so.

I have told you that you can upload pictures to iBoats as attachments ... or that you can upload them to one of the free Photo-hosting sites such as Photobucket (Tinypic.com is a simple version of Photobucket if you prefer it). use one of those alternatives and there is a very good chance that someone on iBoats will be able to give you an approximate age for your engine.

I also said that if you tell us the model number we will be able to give you the exact year of manufacture.

The iBoats forums are conducted in a much more formal language than you are obviously used to using on practicalboating.com. Try posting in proper English, the style you were taught at school, and you will have more success especially if you give us that model number and proper links to your photos.

The iBoats forums are by far and away the best forums I have come across for advice on outboard engines. There are real experts posting here, some are professional outboard engineers. Behave in the manner which they expect and you will get good advice wherever it is possible to give it

You could of course stick to the Practicalboating forums but from what i have seen of them there is precious little chance of getting good help there. Bad advice very possibly.

Looking forward to seeing the photos and the model number

Vic

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Is your 60hp a v4, what color is it, does it have thru hub exhaust ?
I'm thinking a 60hp could be anywhere from 1967 or earlier through the present johnson years.

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

You can upload photos using a link, go to photobucket.com, create an account and upload photos. It will provide you a link of your photo starting and ending with "", resize your photos to 640x480 and save. Copy and past the URL with the "[IMG]" in your post and the pictures will appear.
It's listed as "image code"

This site does not store photos but it will allow you to paste a link to any photo on the web.

I removed the brackets from the URL to show you what it looks like.

This is a pic of my boat I just posted, it's very simple to do.

Sorry if I cut you up too much, I thought you were screwing around on the forums. Just ask properly and anyone on this will explain.

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

OK the number is missing ... would have helped if you had said that at the beginning BUT look very closely at the cylinder head sometimes the model number is stamped on a core plug ... a shiny disc about 3/4" diameter

I have found your pictures but it would have been easier if you had given a link to your post. If you want people to help YOU give them the information dont expect THEM to go searching other forums for it!

And you can post them on here , with links to them on Image shack!

Perhaps someone will recognise the model

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Hi i have not used the net before to sort things out. Guess i got of on the wrong feet. Hope photos help. If i had done this before guess it would be easy for u all to sort it out. thanks for your time. SEAN

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Using shop2.evinrude.com for reference, it's newer than 84, latch isn't in the cowl and it's got vro.

It's newer than 91 cause the rectifier is square, so if I were to guess it's a 1992+ motor.

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Thank you..if only i had got it right from the start.Think i will be use this site again. In my fravorites now.. THANKS AGAIN

 

[bktheking]

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

Well you got it right in the end so it was worth it, don't you think? Is there something wrong with the engine or you just were curious about the vintage?

 

[sean64]

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

outboard runs ok on low revs. But when you put her on full revs. Runs ok for 3 or 5mins then dies down. If you leave it on full revs it just keeps picking up and dieing down all the time. It is as the the powers there but the fuels not getting in all the time. I have check the in let on tanks, put in new fuel tanks x2. new fuel lines. new fuel fillters. new spark plugs, cleaned out carburetors. Was looking at takeing fuel pump off and putting in new kit ( thats what i needed the year/model for ) I have new coils to put on to. If you could let me know what you think. Thanks again. SEAN

Re: johnson 60hp wot year

that is a classic symptom for fuel restriction,which could be one of many things,you mention tanks ,so I gues you have prtable tanks,there is possibility that the squeeze ball is going bad,have you used the same hose on all tanks,also,if you have a snap connection on the hose,be sure it doesnt leak,it could suck air ,be sure all fuel lines are not kinked in any way,there is the possibility of the fuelpump going bad,as the engine begins to surge ,which is what it is doing at high speed,squeeze the ball,if the problem goes away,you have either a bad hose somewhere,I have seen hosed delamiate internally,what happens is the can close up due to multi layers inside and one collapse,you can try putting your supply hose directly to the fuelpump and see if it corrects,if it does,your trouble is from the pump to the connection the hose was connected to,I see you have a inline fuelfilter,you should have a filter that has a 3/8 hose barb and all hose 3/8,you also want to have a good vet for your tank(s) if the tank isnt venting ,your squeeze ball may suck in,or tank will suck in also,when cap is opened a rush of air can be heard,if you think it may be tank not venting loosen cap when problem starts ,see if it improves,if your hose connects to engine with a snap connectior ,again be sure its tite
