    1996 115 johnson carb replacement

    Hello everyone, I need to replace my top carb on my 115 johnson because of a rebuild mishap. I have been looking around for the last two weeks and can't seem to find an exact match off of any old motors. I can't afford to spend the $450 dollars for a new one.

    1994 115 johnson oil alarm

    I just got a 1994 115 johnson. I took it out for the first time and the oil alarm went off as I was returning to the ramp. The motor is not direct oil injection so why would the oil alarm even be connected? I am mixing 50/1 oil and I am pretty sure this is not a temp alarm because the sound is...

    I am in the final phase of my boat restoration and just purchased a 115 suzuki 2 stroke for the boat.

    Trying to find year of force ob?

    Looking at getting a Force 70hp Outboard serial number OE136743. Is there any way to tell what year it is from this number? I know it was made by Mercury so I'm assuming it is a 1992-1995 motor.

    Power Pack burning out

    I just replaced the power pack on my 15hp honda and it burnt out the first time I used it. Is this a common problem? I'm thinking there must be a short somewhere. I doubt it's a quick fix but has anyone else had this problem? Just asking before I bring it to a mechanic.
