    79 Johnson 115 stator question

    I am looking at buying a 1979 Johnson 115 (115TL79R) with power tilt/trim that needs a new stator. I have a 1978 115 (115ML78C) without power tilt/trim with a working stator and timer base. I am noticing that motors from these year used a 6 amp stator if there was no tilt/trim and a 10 amp if it...

    Drive shaft removal

    I am trying to remove the driveshaft on a 1982 johnson 115 to inspect the clutch dog and shifter assembly. My tech manual calls out a tool #311875 to hold the driveshaft in place in order to remove the pinion nut. I am wondering where I could find a tool like this, it looks like its just a...

    1973 Johnson 115 reverse problem

At speed I can just see the top of the cavitation plate. The motor was still pumping out water but I am concerned that I might not get...

    70 hp Evinrude

    I have a mid 70's 70 hp evinrude that runs fine when I have it hooked up to the hose, but when I put it in the lake, it dies when put into gear. Has anyone heard of something like this or know what might be causing it. Thanks, Eric

    1973 Johnson 115 hp problems (no spark)

    I have a 1973 Johnson 115 (115ESL73M) that stopped sparking on me the other day. I got it started a week ago, but the starter blew on me. After switching out with a new starter for a 78 johsnon 115 I realized that I was no longer getting spark. I have been reading other common posts on here and...
