    Has been awhile since I have roamed here. Saw thd fuel/oil sub forum is now gone? Just curious as to why? Was interesting reading/perspectives in there.

    Couple of 2022 Suzuki 9.9 HP DF9.9BES4 questions

    Howdy howdy. I mostly hide over on the Johnson side of the forum. But I have been looking at new outboards. This Suzuki caught my eye. I like the electric start, short shaft and the 9.9-15hp range. However the 15's in this combo seem sold out. A 9.9 will suit my needs fine, but would prefer a...

    Weak magnets on my OK-60

    Okay I’m going to entitle this paragraph “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.” “The Good” I I do believe that I found timing marks on the bottom of the stator plate and the flywheel. I can’t believe I didn’t see them before. That should be fairly easy to do with a digital voltmeter set on...

    Weak magnets on my OK-60

    Well, I went to do a test start on my project OK-60. I have spark, but not enough. It will kick, but not enough to fire. Some reason I have lost it. At 1/8 it is bright blue, more than that nothing. It had great spark before. Guessing flywheel magnets are weak. They are from 1932. Has anyone...

    My new project, sometime. 1932 Johnson OK-60

    Well i forgot to take some pictures of in progress. But lets see if this one posts. It is coming along nice. Alot of monkey work. Had to silver solder to build up the worn connecting rods, bore then ream to size. Cast red brass. Found a used cylinder at Penns outboard. Rings from Otto's small...

    1969 Evinrude 9.5hp

    Well, took a bit longer than expected, but got the 9.5 back together. Ended up buying a NOS upper mount. Shift boot in lower end was all but gone. Bought one for a Merc and cut it down to fit. Works great! Placed it in where the old boot was and used the original plate to clamp it down tight...

    Starter Rope Pulley

    Hold on now....... where in Australia? I spent some time in Perth, Fremantle, Margaret River & Sydney. I could be bribed with the following: . Tasty in the morning! P.S. guess I should mention, sometimes those items are poor quality metal hard to weld. But if a project intrigues me enough or...

    1969 Evinrude 9.5hp

    Well took out the auction 9.5 Evinrude tonight. Runs great at above idle. It has a sneeze or cough if you turn it down low to troll slow. Low speed idle is super touchy. It will adjust, but when you turn idle down low (guessing below 1000 rpm) it will sneeze or cough kinda hard, sometimes die...

    Cleaning crankshaft splines without removing powerhead

    Found a 1969 9.5 Evinrude for $160.00, usd. Looks hardly used. Quick points clean, new water pump, L/U seals, spark plugs and T-stat. Fired up great! Have the "Marine Seafoam" in the gas now, hoping to do some de-carbing. Hope it don't monkey up the carb. Anyways, onto the rusty crank. I am the...

    1969 Mercury 20 hp short shaft Serial #2553522

    Hello all. I have been mostly hiding over on the Johnson/Evinrude side of things. But I will now be dabbling into these waters. Today when at the local dump, at the scrap pile was a Mercury 20hp short shaft there. Took it home. It had a mouse condo under the hood to clean out. Drained and...

    Hot rod 9.9 build up

    Quick question for everyone. To those that have converted exhaust tuners to the cone style, do you route the shorter copper water discharge line out the spit hole in the back and let the excess water spill the the inside of the midsection? Or do you route the copper line as stated, then block...

    1984 Johnson 9.9

    If you do end up replacing your tank to motor fuel hose I have been using this style hole clamp over the standard worm drive hose clamp. They are made for transmission line or fuel injection hose. Seem to clamp even pressure and don't strip out by looking at them the wrong way. Any parts store...

    Johnson 8hp outboard fuel blockage issue

    The fuel inlet? Well you could take a small wire or a cutting torch tip cleaner and scrub it out. But.....then all that wonderful goodness goes inside negating all that you have done. I recommend removing and then clean that item out. These are handy for cleaning ports and nozzles, as well as...
