Hey all, I've been slowly building up my jon boat and have upgraded the outboard to a Johnson 35.
Quick summary: This boat is a small 14ft aluminum (nothing special) that Ive slowly been converting to a comfortable side-console to take my kids out on. It had an Evinrude 25 tiller that I...
From reading through the forums, I feel like this could stir the pot by asking:
With my 1981 Johnson 35, would it be too restricting to add a fuel/water separator in addition to some sort of in-line filter?
In ordering online replacement parts, I saw the only filter is a (what I consider)...
Hey folks, I had previously posted a thread for this issue with an attached video. At this point, I am unable to find the thread after having searched and am starting this new one with an updated video.
After lubricating all moving parts, I am still unable to move anything relating to the...
1981 Johnson 35 and I am not getting a spark. In the provided photos, theres a female plug dangling and a (what I perceive to be) relay thats missing a connection (maybe?).
I have no clue what Im looking at here. Simplicity is not the name of the game with this outboard.
I'm reposting this from my other thread since I was starting to derail the main topic. With these two outboards, I am not able to turn the tiller handle/accelerator anymore than maybe an inch. I know there is a bolt on the 35hp Johnson that's limiting movement but that's not a factor in the...
So I've recently had some time to see if this engine runs and my first obstacle has presented itself. I dribbled some 2 stroke oil in the cylinders and let it sit for about a week (no telling how long this thing has sat). Today, I attempted to start it by hitting the Start button after...
Okay, I'll be trying this again. Before, I had written out this very detailed post and the computer crashed.
I recently purchased two Johnson outboards (30hp and 35hp). They had both been purchased about 10 years ago and were allegedly put away in storage in running condition. While I know...
So for the past year or so, my 1974 Evinrude 25 occasionally slips out of gear. Initially, it was only slipping out while under a load in the Forward position. I fixed that by rigging a piece of wire to hold the shifter forward just as a temporary bandaid. Recently, I purchased a set of...
Hey all, Im giving my 14ft Grumman a makeover and am about 99% done. I just happened to read the imfamous "dont use pressure treated wood" topics that are posted all over the web. Well guess what I used?...
Anyway, I think it's a little sketchy of a topic because everybody claims...
Just bought a Seagull Silver Century last night and tried it out today. I was pretty excited about it but immediately blown because it started after 10 or so pulls and started grinding (not sure where). It only made the severe grinding noise when it was in gear so I'm thinking its the lower...
I have a 1975 Evinrude 25hp and am wondering if I could rig this up to make it work with minimal effort: Evinrude Controls
(I'm not necessarily interested in the switch/key aspect of it)
Re: What is this and where do I get a new one?
Sorry for the lack of photo/info. I submitted this from my phone earlier. Hopefully now that I'm on a desktop, I can figure this out. When pulling on the starter cable to turn the flywheel, I always gently pull it until the (now broken) plastic...
Early 80s Evinrude 25. I was out on the river today, pulled the starting cable and this little $.05 plastic piece broke (great feeling...:facepalm:). I always make a point to gently apply a load to the starting cable until it securely grabs and then pull to start.
Anyway, I made it back and...
I have an early 80s Evinrude 25 with a lower unit that I noticed was missing a bolt. Upon further inspection, I noticed the lower is secured but not seated 100% to the rest of the motor. I attempted to adjust but still have a hair-line gap between the lower and upper where light passes between...
Broke mine and need a new one. Found this on Ebay and am not 100% sure this is the exact part I need but it looks to be correct. Can anybody confirm: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290384179889
