For your 1975 15hp ?I need a replacement roller thing that follows the cam as you increase speed, any ideas?
yes for the 75For your 1975 15hp ?
If so the roller is unavailable.
You will either have to scratch around until you find one or perhaps its something you could make
Great, what are they called? I am calling it a cam follower, not sure if that is right thoughE bay has a couple
no, this is a 1975 Johnson, I also have 2 Chryslers, a 1976 10hp, and a 1979 6hp, and an Evinrude 18, 1972. I am starting with the one I think I can get into the water first, then work on learning what the other 3 motors will need to go. I am trying to gather parts for the 72 evinrude 18, such as a starter bracket, and a starter, etc.Is this a 2 HP motor ??
I just took a bunch off of the roller, and the roller itself looks fine, although smaller, so I am thinking that there should be a "tire" on the white nylon roller, thinking that I can make one to slip and glue into place with a feul line or hose tubing , thoughts?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!
I am assuming that is the part number?0318953
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 the amount of flex it will have when up against the magneto.I just took a bunch off of the roller, and the roller itself looks fine, although smaller, so I am thinking that there should be a "tire" on the white nylon roller, thinking that I can make one to slip and glue into place with a feul line or hose tubing , thoughts?
