    Slight knocking noise Johnson 5.5hp

    Got an early '60's 5.5hp, runs relatively well with no major issues....except at low revs there is a noticable knocking or loud ticking noise. I can dial it out mostly on the high speed nozzle. I've checked to see if the coils are catching on the fly wheel and all seems ok even after ' re...

    Engine replacement 1957 Fleetwin.

    I'm soon to be replacing the powerhead onto the main leg of a 57 7.5 Fleetwin.....Do I fit the powerhead first then the cowling and is there anything that holds the cowling in position, apart from the rubber mountings. I cant for the life of remember what I did when I stripped her down, all...

    1955 Fleetwin 7.5hp

    HI, I've just bought one of these beauties and before I strip it down I got her running. I have the fuel tank, the thumb primed one but just hooked her up to a gravity fed fuel line just to get her going. Will this method get the required amount of fuel into the carb in order for me to set it...

    Oily rich Johnson 3hp

    As far as I can work out she's a 1967 ( folding longshaft ) and the ' bolt ' has a different thread to a normal high speed needle so I may well have to borrow a fully working carb of one of my others to see if that solves my problem and then go from there.. A bit blurred but you can see
