    1976 Johnson 55 Hp Trouble Cranking

    Be sure to determine the cause of the problem. Many times its a partially plugged main jet in the carburetor of the scored cylinder/piston. This causes the cylinder to run too lean, while its being dragged around by the other cylinder. Seen it many times on these. Motor seems to be running...

    (INTRODUCES) 1234567890 Look at the letters at the end of the number, but forget about the very last letter....in your case the "S". So the CC make it a 1988.

    Engine doesn't want to start

    Dont take the new squeeze bulbs to NW Ontario in October or November. They are harder than a honeymoon "Johnson"!

    80's 30 HP Evinrude.. No start, good compression, good spark...

    How was spark tested? Just with a spark plug?? These generally require a rock/log/grounding strike to shear a flywheel key, unless flywheel had once been removed and not installed properly.

    Old 25hp mercury outboard

    Good idea to only use non oxy fuel. Ethanol will damage seals, hoses and diaphragms. Ha....to ME thats a NEW motor. I make 'em last. My everyday fishing motors are 70's stuff. Make sure the water pump is fresh and buy a high quality impeller. When you couple up the lower unit make sure the water...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    One thing we may check here is to ensure that that the little donut gasket is making its seal at the base of the float bowl. Sometimes they are not thick enough to properly make a seal, or the tabs on the float bowl get slightly bent and the float does not pull itself as tightly as it should to...

    1977 evinrude 15hp add electric start conversion kit

    Ha, would love to meet Racer. Probably never will, however. I too have about 200 motors around here, someday if I live to be 90 or so, I may know about half of what he knows. Joe Reeves is another phenomenal outboard mechanic. These guys are icons in outboard repair....yes.... from the days when...

    6902m 6hp fisherman no spark

    Great little motors. You should take all of Racers advice as well as view spark with a simple spark gap tester. Spark should be able to jump about 1/4 to even 5/16 inch and then you know you have a good magneto. Condensers rarely fail but points can get pitted and if there is any sign of pitting...

    1977 Johnson head gasket

    Dont forget to use a LITTLE nickel Anti Seize on the cleaned threads of head bolts....why? There is a very thin zinc coating that wears off when bolts have been in and out a couple times and cleaned. If you dont take care to do this, they will oxidize and can be very difficult to remove years...

    The vise grip gives you some leverage to hold the screw head tightly in place under the lip of the seal
