    Johnson 9.5hp vs. SeaKkng15hp (Chrysler)

    I have a 1972 Johnson 9.5 HP. I would like a little more power. I found some one that wants to trade me a 15 HP Sea King. Everything that I have found tells me that it is a Chrysler. Is the Sea King a good motor? Are parts readily available and afforrdable?

    70hp Johnson FOOT REMOVAL

    The 1981 70 HP Johnson runs great! Ran it in tank . Forward and reverse. I noticed water coming out where the foot meets the "midsection". Water in oil. I pulled 5 bolts out . The foot is not coming out. How big of a hammer should I use to get it off.

    85 HP Evinrude NO SPARK

    1975 MODEL I am getting NO spark from any coil. I do not have the fancy tester. I am using an induction timing light to test for spark. I will search the forum, as well. This is on the parts/replacement motor that I bought to replace/repair the previous engine that I posted about previously...

    1975 85hp Johnson starter mount broken

    This starter mount is broken. Would JB weld be my best option. The cause of this is due to the top front bolt backing out, putting too much pressure on this mount.

    85hp 1973-1977 Johnson.

    Where are freeze plugs? I pulled starter and solenoid, but can't find freeze plugs. Honestly, I am not a total idiot, but I must be overlooking them. Are they being flywheel? Trying to identify year and model number. I have narrowed down to Johnson due to original color, and '73-75 due to coils.

    85hp 1973-1977 Johnson. what do I have?

    What is the difference between model 85393m and 85ESL73m? These particular models are 1973 85hp, but that is as far as I can figure. By looking at the difference in power packs and coils online, I think I have a 73-75. Are there any significant differences between these 3 years and models within...
