    Evinrude Sportwin 4423 carb setting

    I have a 1948 Sportwin and am having difficulty finding much info on it. I'm trying to find the initial carb needle valve setting. I set it at 1.5 turns out from seated but can't get it to run. The carb is quite unique and unlike carbs on the 50's motors. I'm just guessing with 1.5 turns out...

    Michigan SMC 58 prop diameter and pitch?

    My 1959 15' Crestliner with a 1959 Evinrude Lark 35hp has the above prop. Works great. Unfortunately the hub spun on me. I'm wondering what the diameter and pitch are so I can get a new one?

    Mounting junction box on my Crestliner Voyager

    I'm mounting a 1959 Evinrude Lark on my 1959 Crestliner. I'm wondering if I can mount the junction box for the motor directly on the aluminum or do I need to insulate it? I could install a wood plate between the aluminum and the box. Is this necessary? I've never worked on an aluminum boat before.

    2000 Johnson trim/tilt not holding position

    The tilt won't hold the motor up. When in full up position it leaks back down in about 30 minutes. No apparent fluid leaks and reservoir is full. I suspect the manual release valve after reading other posts. So I got replacement o-rings, and thought it would be a simple job. WRONG. I removed...

    2000 Johnson 50hp 2 stroke idle issues

    I haven't gotten a satisfactory answer on the AOMCI website, so I'll try here. Recently bought a pontoon with the above motor and have not been able to get it to idle. I had to replace the remote control box as the old one had busted nylon parts and the fast idle lever did nothing. I’ve gone...

    GHEENOE??

    Just picked up this little gem. It has no ID plate or hull number, but looks similar to an older Gheenoe. 13' long. The registration lists year made as 1960. I can't believe it's that old.

    QD-23 - Water shooting out holes in upper leg

    I'm working on a 1962 Johnson 10hp. Replaced the impeller and she pumps water like crazy. However, there are two small holes in the upper leg on either side of the driveshaft (you can see the driveshaft through the holes - water is shooting out of those holes. Are they supposed to be plugged?

    1968 9.5hp Evinrude - Coils hitting flywheel

    Working on this motor for a client - the laminations of the coils are dragging on the flywheel. The coils are as far back as I can set them and they still drag. There is some play in the magneto. I seem to recall an old post about dimpling the brass support ring under the mag plate to remove the...

    '62 Johnson 5.5hp Difficult Cold Starting

    Working on a '62 Johnson 5.5hp. I've gone through everything and once I get it started it runs pretty good. It's just getting it started that's a pain. Takes 25-30 pulls before it even farts. Compression 75psi and even. All new electronics - points are properly set and cleaned with acetone. New...

    Problem installing electric starter on 1969 Evinrude 25hp

    I ordered a used starter and bracket for a 1969 25hp Evinrude off of AOMCI classifieds. Starter appears to be aftermarket but has a part number 585061 which seems correct. The starter appears too "fat" and the bracket won't bolt up because the starter hits the intake manifold. The bracket is...

    1976 Evinrude 35hp - magneto dragging on flywheel

    Tuning up a 1976 35hp Evinrude. Put in new points and condensers, put the flywheel back on and the mag plate is catching on the flywheel, and the throttle just keeps kicking back to idle speed. The stator and coil are properly aligned with the bosses on the mag plate. When I had the flywheel...

    1982 Johnson 9.9hp - starter not working

    I'm helping my neighbor with his 1982 9.9hp Johnson - the starter is not firing at all. I thought maybe a ground wire from the solenoid, so I looked for a starter solenoid and couldn't find one. Looks like power from the battery goes directly into the neutral safety switch. Anybody have any...

    Just Finished my JW22F - A Few Pics

    Here's a few pics of my 3hp Folding Johnson. Just finished painting it and applying decals. I had to replace the case for the lower unit as the skeg was broke off, and also replaced the prop as it was badly cracked from the blow it apparently received from the previous owner. I also rebuilt the...

    Prop Hub Installation

    I posted this in the prop forum and got no response, so I'll post it here: I'm buying a new prop for my 1967 3hp Folding Johnson motor. The 2 blade prop comes with the hub and cushion ring separate from the prop. The seller says it all goes together by hand - doesn't have to be pressed in with...
