    Johnson CD-12 final inches problems

    Can't remember if I put a head gasket in this one or not. I can check compression. It starts easy with one pull every time, so I doubt it lacks compression.

    Johnson CD-12 final inches problems

    I got the coils adjusted so they aren't rubbing anymore, and the spark advance doesn't jump around like it did. I got the impeller replaced and with a few new seals, it now has good visible water flow. I spent hours playing with the jets, trying to get it to idle down without dying. I adjusted...

    2001 BF15A project

    That "alternative" pinion gear is from a 2hp with an 11mm shaft. The 15 has a 15mm shaft. It won't work.

    I don't know if I trust google on this one. This alternative pinion is from a 2hp engine. I'll check with the local Honda dealer and see if I can confirm the two gears match.

    2001 BF15A project

    I cannot find this extended Honda model number anywhere on the motor. All it has is BF15A, but not the rest of the identifiers. I think I have it figure out, though. The title says it was made in 2000 and has a model year of 2001. The serial is a 1,5xx,xxx. The 2000 code would be AY and for...

    2001 BF15A project

    Just brought home this 15. Seller said it was a 2006, but that's because it says 2006 on the emissions sticker on the cowling. Looking up the serial tells me it's a 2001. This is my first Honda outboard, and these things are tracked by model and serial differently than something like a Yamaha or...

    Thank you. I'll try that.

    Johnson CD-12 final inches problems

    Yep, that'll do it. Didn't realize you have to remove the powerhead to get the lower unit off. Guess I'm in for some new seals and gaskets now.

    Johnson CD-12 final inches problems

    I have a CD-12 that I am working on and have a few problems to figure out. One of them that I think is serious is the way the spark advance mechanism shakes rapidly back and forth at low throttle. I took the flywheel off and smoothed out the edges with some sand paper in case maybe it was...

    Johnson RDE 17R repair

    I have a 2 line tank that I rebuilt for my 5.5 (it still leaks anyway) but if I get this motor running, I will add a fuel pump to it.

    Johnson RDE 17R repair

    I got it apart. The top cylinder looks much worse than the bottom. I'll get big bucket of solvent or parts cleaner and dunk everything so I can see better.

    Johnson RDE 17R repair

    I'm hopeful it's just cosmetic and it will clean up. If not, I can make my money back just by selling the electric starter. I have a 5 & 1/2 hp that is pretty much finished, mechanically. I picked up a little jon for it today and I'll start sea trials as soon as I get it registered. If...

    Johnson RDE 17R repair

    Spent a little more time on it today. The lower shifts correctly. Next step is get the magneto off the top and split the case. Not too familiar with the lower seal, but I think that broken plastic ring might be the low quality seal I've read about.

    Johnson RDE 17R repair

    Location is Texas. If it turns out to be a mess, I don't know if I will rebuild or part it out. Haven't decided yet. Don't see very many of these being offered up for sale.

    Johnson RDE 17R repair

    Just remembered this model usually has the bad seal, so I will have to tear it all the way down anyway.
