    gasket sealers for johnson OB?.. Piston "rock"?

    I am sure some here including myself have build up motors with care and precision only to be disappointed. Conversely some have thrown together junk only to be pleasantly surprised. Ya can always drop a ring in and measure end gap at various points to give ya some idea of whether to continue...

    2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke Torque / Power Curves

    I'll bite...whats the torque at 3000rpm? I see the 4 has cam phasers...curious.. Since ya have enough information here why not plot the curves so we can see them? That would answer alot.. would be better if it was independent info though.

    2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke Torque / Power Curves

    The 4 stroke belongs on the family pontoon barge and the 2 stroke goes on the sport or bass boat. Horses for courses...Way too many variables in the question to have a black and white answer.. If one needs the lightest hp...no govm regs..go 2 stroke. If weight no concern then choose with...

    2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke Torque / Power Curves

    It is really all about the area under the curve.. Unit force and unit distance are inversely proportional. I want the motor with the most area under the power curve..all else being equivalent.

    2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke Torque / Power Curves

    There is so much more to it than hp and or torque curve. I bought a new yamaha 2.5hp for my canoe in 2006. By 2014 it was dead..blow by pressuring crankcase and blowing oil all over. If I could have bought a new evinrude 3hp 2 stroke it would still be running fine and would be an easy...

    2004 Johnson 150 (Bombardier) Sat for likely 3 years

    Float drop is a way to keep the float off the bowl during storage. Otherwise the float might get stuck to the bowl if there is fuel left in the bowl during periods of non use. Like racer said it does not affect operation.

    tilt tube inner diameter

    Okay..looks as though a 5/8 aluminum rod will have running clearance...I think thats the od of a teleflex cable end.. Im fabing up a pulley steer using the tilt tube with link to motor. Cable at each end of rod moves rod back and forth.. Too much slop in the teleflex system and too slow turn...

    Sierra water pump

    If ya have a fish weight scale ya can use that. Measure effective length of your spanner in inches..12 divided by your wrench length multiplied by the torque required. So...12 divided by..say 6 inch wrench is 2. Required setting is 10 inch pounds. So you will need 20 lbs on your scale with...

    OK feeling a little foolish…spark, compression, starter fluid no reaction…

    I dont suggest soldering or other ways because of any electrical reason but for mechanical stability. I have pulled on a stuck cap/boot and pulled the connector off the wire by accident or have it come apart in the cap and didnt realize it. A good electrical connection requires a good...
