    1971 Johnson - No anode

    Hi again, I've been searching the internet looking for a definitive (or close to it) answer on not having an anode on an old outboard. My 1971 6hp Johnson does not have an anode and there isn't one listed in the parts list. I understand they weren't commonly added until later years. It was...

    6R71E Johnson - Delayed throttle up

    PROBLEM SOLVED. In the end it turned out to be the coils. The interesting part is that I tested the coils with a multimeter and based on a video I watched the readings were all accurate.

    1971 6hp Johnson Exhaust leg - Pin hole

    Hi, I have a 1971 6hp Johnson and noticed a pin hole size water leak in the exhaust leg which sprays a fine line of water when motoring. It's coming from the small dimple/indent on the leg but I can't find anything online or in parts catalogues saying why it's there. Is this something I can...
