    Johnson Powerhead Number 2081617. Any info on that?

    Hi folks. Have a Johnson Powerhead with the circular Johnson seahorse logo stamped into it with the number 2081617 just beneath it. Is there any way I can find out the history of this powerhead based on this number? Back story: Purchased this motor (1960 Johnson 18hp FD-14) and previous owner...

    Cam follower roller thingy

    Might be tough to find something really thin that has the same inner and outer diameter of the roller. These parts are super cheap. Might just be better off buying a replacement but in the time being, I think electrical tape might be you best bet. Wrap it realllllllly tight so you can minimize...

    Airbox silencer for 1960 18hp johnny… worth it to buy?

    Does the airbox silencer actually silence the air intake at all? Seems like a silly potential airflow restriction. I don’t have one on my engine and wonder if it’s worth the money to buy one.

    Cam follower roller thingy

    If it’s got a whole lot of wear, maybe try electrical tape as a temp fix until you find a replacement? Someone in here is going to want to shoot me for saying that. Sorry, purists! 😁

    1960 Johnson 18hp won’t steer (tiller controlled)

    I e got great clamshells but the screws are stripped out. They are flathead screws 3 out of 4 of them are damaged slightly. I hit them with penetrating spray and am going to keep doing it for the next few days asiwait for some paint to cure up. I’m gonna try again after that. Waiting on a new...

    1960 Johnson 18hp won’t steer (tiller controlled)

    Tried pulling the clamshells….. screws are stripped. No go. If I can’t get inside, that way, looks like the only way in is through the “non-zero fitting” on the steering tube. I did spray a tiny bit of wd40 in there but only a tiny bit went in before it started backing out. I’ve gotta get this...

    1960 Johnson 18hp won’t steer (tiller controlled)

    Mouse milk? Is that a nickname for wd40? That’s hillarious. Good lord I was really hoping I wasn’t going to have to take this thing apart. I can do the topside of the engine but everything south of there scares me a little. I’ll check the diagram on here and hopefully it isn’t too complex...

    1960 Johnson 18hp won’t steer (tiller controlled)

    Folks- When I got the motor I tried taking it apart to paint. Bolts are so rusty I could t get the block out so I left lower unit, gearcase and all attached. While cleaning the power head I used a degreaser and water a couple of times and noticed that it was getting tougher and tougher to steer...

    Cowl lock cross compatibility 1960 18hp

    I have a 1960 18 and it’s missing the latch assembly for the cowl. They seem pretty hard to come by on eBay and when I do see them, they’re pretty expensive. Was wondering if there is any cross compatibility amongst the latches from those years. For instance there’s a 5.5hp one on eBay that...

    1960 Johnson 18hp air box needed?

    I’m in Riverview fl. Turns out I guess I don’t need an airbox to get the pull start frame installed on the cowl I guess. Would anyone know if the box needs to rest on top of the airbox to be installed properly or does it just snap on to the cowl?

    1960 Johnson 18hp air box needed?

    Flyingscott you are a god amongst men! Thank you! Now if I can only find an airbox I can start getting closer to having a complete motor. Thanks again!

    1960 Johnson 18hp air box needed?

    Have a 1960 Johnson 18hp and it came without the control panel, the high and low speed adjustment knobs, the air box and the frame that goes around the pull cord. I just got it running today and was wondering if I will need the air box installed in order to mount the frame/box that houses the...
