OK guys, those old time mechanics (or ones that are very familiar on magnetio ignition) I need a little clarification on point setting/ignition timing of a 1974-1976 9.9hp.
I have a reader of my 9.9/15hp repair articles who posed a question that I am unsure of. So off to my 1974 rope start &...
I have a 1980 70hp Johnson that has a Outboard Jet unit installed, mounted on a 16' aluminum sled. I have removed the steering wheel / remote controls & have converted it to tiller steering by using a e-Bay purchased tiller off a newer 60hp motor.

I intended to take the carbruetor off & soak it cleaner as a start. However the plastic choke is blocking...
OK people I need to pick some brains. I recently bought am 18' 2005 North River aluminum boat with a 75hp Evinrude E-Tec from a private party. It was over the warranty period by 6 months but with only 262 hours on it. I ran it for 5 hours & the #3 fuel injector had intemittant failure...
OK guys, a long time lurker & sometimes contributor on the Johnson page, now I have a problem here.<br />The motor in question is a trolling motor on a 20' Tiderunner & the mainpower is 150 Yamie. I have owned this boat & motor for 7 years & had to replace the fuel pump about 5 years ago. Now...
OK, I'm going to ask a question that many may take for granted, & may seem dumb. <br /><br />What is the proper method of checking compression on a 2 stroke outboard. By this I mean how many times do you pull the starter rope to get a reading on say a 10hp? Sure you can pull it a dozen times...
