    motor won't turn off

    We have been doing a lot of work to our 1994 Johnson marine 115. Replaced a lot of hoses, decarbed, ran lots of carburator cleaner through it, seafoam etc. The boat had not run for a couple of years. Well...THIS MOTOR FINALLY IDLES!, which is the good news. Bad news is that the motor won't...

    moving trailer by hand?

    I am looking for a "dolly" type of thing that I can attach to the receiver on my trailer and then use it to move my trailer into position in my driveway. My driveway has a slight uphill incline.

    Will this carb fit my motor?

    These carbs are for sale on ebay. I would like to rebuild my carbs but frankly am a little afraid to do so. If I could buy these, rebuild them and then install them in my motor, Iwould feel more confortable about doing it. I could take my time that way. My motor is a '94 115hp Johnson. V4...

    fuel tank venting

    I keep reading that we should make sure that the fuel tank is venting. I have a built-in 25 gallon tank in my 174 Striper. There is a fill port and a little black thing sticking out close to the filling door. As I am filling the tank with fuel, eventually some fuel will spill out of that...
