    Replacement for Slow Speed Needle Know

    Has anyone out there got a solution to replace the plastic knob that goes on the end of the slow speed needle ? I’m good with something “Custom” but need something on there so it can be adjusted. I figured you guys would have an idea. Thank you

    1983 Johnson 7.5 - Running hot

    Hello all, I have a 1983 Johnson 7.5 short shaft that runs beautiful. I do however think it may have heating issues because when I put a Temp gun on the head while it is running in a tank, it is getting up over 170 deg. I have tried this in gear and in neutral with roughly the same results...

    Cannot get Lower Unit back on - 2016 Yamaha 6hp

    I decided to do a full service on a new to me 2016 Yamaha F6SMHA. It has seen some salt water but not too bad. It was a bit hard to get the lower Unit separated but once apart looked pretty good. When I try to get it back installed I for some reason cannot get the driveshaft splines to fit back...

    Driveshaft Sheared off in Powerhead - 1981 Johnson 15hp

    Hello, A friend's son brought his motor to me to have a look for him. He was up fishing and hit somehing (I'm assuming hard) I pulled the lower unit and the splines on the top of the driveshaft going into the motor are gone. I suspect they are up in the powerhead still. I tried to use a...

    Early 80's BF75 flywheel won't turn

    Hello, I acquired I believe a 1983 BF75 7.5 hp that had a ton of work done on it. The owner gave up on it. I spent a few mins last night and saw that I could not pull the pull start. I popped the plugs out and still cannot move the flywheel. I had a look and see clean oil on the dipstick. Is...

    re-engage Spring in Pull starter - 1995 Evinrude 9.9

    Is there a trick to getting the spring reengaged on one of the newer starters ? I pryed the loop at the end of the spring out from the rest of the spring with a screw and was able to get it to engage but then cannot get the screw out of there. I can't find any examples of how to do this. Any...

    Replace ignition coils - 1979 Johnson 6hp

    I did do that sort of as I had the 2 reversed. All is currently running great, I just can't get the lid back on because the coils stick out too far. Not sure if I can reverse them so the leads point toward the powerhead but I'll ahve to try it or else I can't really use it. I'll upload a...

    Replace ignition coils - 1979 Johnson 6hp

    So I have done the coils under the flywheel but not the ones on a motor with a CDI box. I discovered that I'm not getting spark from one of my coils. I have 2 new ones here and am ready to swap them but there are a couple challenges. Is there pictures, a video or instructions anywhere to show...

    2011 Yamaha 4hp 4 stroke won't start or fire

    A friend purchased this and it is in like new condition. He took the carb off, cleaned it thoroughly but it does not fire. We put a spark tester on it and there is a good strong spark. We tried different positions for the emergency shutoff switch on the front but my understanding is that there...

    Correct Operating Temperature - 1974 Johnson 6hp

    So I have my Johnson 6hp almost ready to head out on the water trout fishing and I decided to run it in a 55 gallon drum to make sure it's all good to go. It's running well. I replaced the water pump and thermostat as the old thermostat was plugged up and broken. After about 5 mins in the...

    1974 6hp Johnson - mid range sputter

    I have a 1974 powerhead I replaced and it runs OK at higher throttle and at idle but in the mid range it sputters and runs rough. I did soak and clean the carb including the high speed jet, replaced the coils, set the points, put in fresh plugs, plug wires and ends. There is good spark from both...

    Lower Unit Leaking air - Johnson 6hp

    I am changing out the water pump on a 1965 Johnson 6hp (CD-22M) and have learned to always pressure test the leg before replacing the leg oil. It will not hold any air so I got the soapy water out and discovered that it's leaking somewhere I've never seen before. see RED arrows It looks...

    Fuel problem - Johnson 4.5 HP

    I have a 1981 Johnson 4.5hp short shaft motor that I'm trying to get ready for fishing season this year. I have gone through it and have one thing left not working properly. I discovered that it is not getting fuel to the carb. I replaced the fuel lines and rebuilt the fuel pump but it still...

    1969 Johnson 6hp - Head bolt leaks

    I had an earlier post about ignition on this motor and all is well now and it runs awesome but I did have to put the head back on this motor and now one of the cylinder head bolts leaks slightly. I replaced the head gasket and surfaced the head so it was smooth like described in other posts. I...

    Clamp Screw Questions

    I searched but must be searching wrong as I cannot find anything about Clamp screws. I have 2 questions. 1) How do you remove a clamp screw ? Once the cup on the end is removed, it seems like it only unscrews so far and then it won't go any further. 2) How do you free one up when they are...

    Driveshaft stuck in Lower Unit ? - Evinrude 6hp 6602B 1965

    So I replaced the powerhead on this motor, did the impeller, fired it up and it runs great. I then discovered goo in the tank and the new leg oil has water in it. I rigged up a pressure tester that works great but discovered that it would not hold any pressure. I pulled the lower unit again...

    6R69 Driveshaft Drivel Pin broken

    So I decided to replace the impeller on my 1969 6hp and when I pulled the lower unit off, I went to remove the pin at the top of the drive shaft and it came out in 3 pieces. I've seen on this board that some folks replaced it with something else but suggest use semi soft metal. Is there...

    1969 Johnson 6hp Ignition questions

    I had one of these sitting under my bench so I thought I'd take a crack at it. I replaced the coils, the condensers and the points. Tonight I'll try to get the points and get it so it's sparking at the right time. I have never done this and also replaced the spark plug wires. Do they need to...

    Johnson 3hp JW-17c - A few questions

    So I picked up a 1961 Johnson 3hp from my old boss. It was in surprisingly good condition. I cleaned it up and put a little oil in the cylinders, dumped the old gas and put some 24:1 mix in it, pulled it over and nothing. Pulled and cleaned the carb, regapped the plugs and she fired up and...

    20BA77S - Info (Fuel Pump ? Schematic ?)

    Also, I did purchase an 18-7823 fuel pump rebuild kit. I found the following diagram which was very helpful in getting it all back together. My understanding is that if you blow on the larger inlet you should be able to blow air through it. When you blow on the smaller outlet it should...
