    50lb motor too heavy for trailering on canoe?

    I just got a trailer for my 14ft Indian River fiberglass canoe with a square stern. I have been running an old Johnson outboard on it that weighs about 55 lbs. It sits on it fine in the water- no problems. If I transport it on a trailer with it attached in place on the stern will moderate road...

    1967 Johnson 6HP- carburetor flooding?

    I have recently given this outboard update on all ignition parts. I had a problem with a rough idle and rebuilt the carb and replaced the fuel pump which seemed to have worked for a brief while, but after sitting for a couple of months, I took it out and the problem has returned, perhaps worse...

    1967 Johnson 6HP CD24 Spark Plug Wires

    I am trying to find two new spark plug wire cables for a 67 Johnson 6HP. I cannot get a clear match on the part numbers for this. If I can get them made up instead of buying roll of wire that would be great!

    Johnson 6 HP 1967(CD-24) Runs but no idle

    I have been updating this outboard with new impller, new points, new condenser,new thermostat, new plugs. Have de-carbed with Seafoam. Issue one: Running it in the garage can "tank", I cannot get a good idle. It will run fine when throttled up, but if I let if drift down past "start" to...

    67 6 HP Johnson- running in 5 gal can, no pee hole flow

    I am test running for the first time a 67 Johnson with a new impeller put in, I have started it up on a rough idle in a 5 gal can. I saw no water flowing out of the back pee hole, in the rear -about mid level- of the exhaust housing. I did check most of the tubing when I replaced the impeller...

    Johnson '67 6HP-new points defective?

    I am tuning up a 1967 Johnson 6HP. I got new points for it and when installed I was a little concerned. Unlike the old set, the lower part (the spring loaded part) does not fit as snug on the post (ie. the stem that it pivots on) as it opens and closes. The result is that I can wiggle it a bit...

    Johnson 6HP '64 rear seal stuck

    I am replacing the gearcase head seal (#49-303345)(where prop shaft exits out from the gearcase) and the O ring. I have the gearcase head (#48 on the parts diagram) out and see the seal but cannot figure out how to remove it. I pryed it a little and it does not move. It is as if it is all one...

    '64 Johnson 5.5 HPGearcase Oil leaking from prop shaft

    After filling oil in gearcase I see it is leaking from the prop shaft, precisely where the shaft emerges from the gearcase. It is about an ounce a day for the last few days. I have the rebuild kit, but I cannot not find a clear enough diagram instruction in the parts manual or the Seloc manual...

    Johnson 6 HP 1967(CD-24) Prop confusion..

    I have a still to be water tested 67 Johnson 6HP that I recently bought used and am tuning up. I went to order a new prop for it, and it came in ( a Michigan Wheel make) It turned out to not work at all. The aft portion of the hub had no portruding boss to put the shear pin through that would...

    Johnson 6 HP 1967(CD-24)-Clean the Crud in Cylinder?

    WHen and how do you clean cylinder crud? I got a used 67 Johnson 6HP, 2 cyclinder, which I am cleaning up for first use on the water. Doing the usual- put in new impeller, plugs, points etc.. I noted as I looked on the threads, and inside the wall one of the plugs a certain amount of sandy...

    No gasket(?) for gearcase unit to LU group- Johnson 6 HP '67

    I am replacing the impeller on a Johnson 6HP 1967. I note that after dropping the gearcase group from the lower unit group, there is no gasket between the two assemblies. It seems odd to me for something that is submerged in water, even if it is not high pressure inside. Is this OK? the manual...

    Johnson 6HP 1967-Flush kit?

    Is there a flush kit made for this motor?- ie. after use in saltwater. Water intake in in the exhaust area- seems unlikely for standard kits to work.

    Johnson 6HP-Clean crud in gearcase?

    Just pulled the gear case/ from LU to replace impeller on Johnson 6 HP (CD-24). Used outboard I recently bought and gearcase oil was drained for shipment. Noticed a noticeable amount of crud in the gear case unit though the fill hole and looking in from the the top. If there are no leaks should...
