    Johnson J25 ELCTD keeps burning out top coil

    Does anyone have an idea as to why this motor may be burning out the top coil only? I purchased this motor a few years ago and within a week the top coil went out. I replaced it with the CDI replacement coil and it went out after about a month. I then replaced it with the Sierra replacement coil...

    What are the symptoms of a bad upper crankshaft seal on a 25hp johnson?

    I have a 25 hp Johnson J25ELCTD that ran good until the other day. It got extremely difficult to start and wouldn't idle, however it seemed to run fine at WOT. When I got it home, I noticed alot of oily fluid coming out from under the flywheel. I am sure the upper crankcase seal needs to be...

    I have an early 80's model 40hp Mariner that will crank and idle fine, but when I give it full throttle it takes a few minutes to open up and then it is only turning 4000 rpms. I have tried a different fuel tank, replaced fuel lines, new bubble, cleaned carbs, checked ohms on stator, trigger...

    CDI Stator

    I have a CDI stator on a 50hp Mariner and the low speed windings (blue to blue/white) reads about 140 ohms lower than what CDI says is good. Does it really need to be replaced? Thanks in advance for any help.

    25hp Johnson surging at WOT

    I recently purchased a 25hp Johnson J25ELCTD that the previous owner said shut off on him the last time he took it out. I cleaned the carb and installed new needle, seat, float, and gaskets. I found the top coil oozing a sticky substance and replaced it as well. The engine will crank and idle...
