    Fuel/oil mixture 1958 johnson 3 hp outboard

    Im assuming there shouldn't be wet oil on the threads and compression ring. Also, I noticed burned oil particles on the ground strap.

    Fuel/oil mixture 1958 johnson 3 hp outboard

    I rebuilt my grandfather's JW-14 motor and ran it with 16:1 mixture with tc-w3 oil. Smokes a little but not horrible especially under full power. I have supplied pictures of the spark plugs. They are on the dark side with oil on the compression ring. Im thinking about going to 24:1 with the...

    Now that the motor is running, I want to refurbish the 12 ft aluminum boat that the motor was on. The transom has 3/4" wood that extends below the water's surface. The seats are 1/2" wood. Is there an alternative to wood to use on this project? Or, if not, what type of wood and...

    The female cap on the fuel line that screws onto the male threads on the bottom of the fuel valve. I'm trying to include a picture but I don't think it's possible.

    Everything is going well thanks to all the advice I've gotten here. One last issue I have is the fuel line assembly & fuel shut off valve threads are damaged. The fuel line assembly is no longer available. Are there other sources?

    Surprisingly the impeller is soft and pliable but I'm replacing it anyway. I'm having trouble getting the drive shaft to drop into the pinion gear in the gear case. Is there a trick to getting this engagement easier?

    Thanks for the information, sounds like you have experience with this motor. I have a couple of other questions if you don't mind. 1) I have a Seloc Manual that recommends 50:1. Is that because the new oils will handle this ratio? 2) Is the point gap .020"? 3) Does the Lower Unit & Gear Case...

    My grandfather's motor has been sitting for years. I rebuilt the carb & ran it in an ultrasonic cleaner & rinsed out the gas tank but need to know several things : 1) gas/oil mixture 2) initial settings on high & low speed needles ;e.g., how many turns out to start adjusting 3) oil brand &...
