    I brought this 6 hp home yesterday, and I want to start the break in, but I can't tilt the durned thang up to get it into the trash can full of water. I thought it was only supposed to lock itself down in reverse, but it's locked in forward, reverse, and neutral, It's brand new and new to me so...

    Johnson 6 Hp 4 Stroke not moving water??

    Success at last! I pulled the carb to get access to this weird little aluminum housing that's bolted to the underside of it, The top of this housing has the accelerator pump diaphram and a couple of fuel passages in it, but the underside has a couple of brass water hose nipples in it. Those...

    Johnson 6 Hp 4 Stroke not moving water??

    It's a J6R4SRC, and it suddenly quit peeing. I looked at the impeller, and it's fine, I ran a weedwhacker line into the pee hole and it felt clean, no dirt dobbers, etc. Popped the top off the thermostat housing, and there's a rubber diaphram in there that was torn, so I though, "Bang! Gotcha!"...

    Sears Eska 3.5 hp no fuel to cylinder

    Re: Sears Eska 3.5 hp no fuel to cylinder You don't mention the fuel pump element in the face of the mounting flange. It has to be in there with the slot ends pointed at 2 and 8 oclock or it won't pump right. Also, check the face of the carb flange for flatness - if the mounting bolts were...

    Need help with gamefisher 7.5hp

    Re: Need help with gamefisher 7.5hp How's the float set? It's supposed to be 11/64ths between float and carb body. When you look at the clip that connects the needle to the float, the open end points to the choke end of the venturi, or it can hang, messing with float movement. Then there's the...

    Good news/ Bad news

    Re: Good news/ Bad news When you ran it the other night, was it in a bucket? Surging suggests to me that it's lean, either too much air, or not enough fuel. When you rebuilt the carb, did you get the slot ends of the red fuel pump element pointed at 2 and 8 o'clock?

    1972 Ted Williams 5.5 hp/fuel pump

    Re: 1972 Ted Williams 5.5 hp/fuel pump You are correct, sir! There is supposed to be a red, (orange?) fuel pump element in there. Until you get one in there, and at the right 45 degree angle, no fuel delivery for you. Get a load of this...

    Engine Oil Change, 2004 BRP Johnson 6hp 4Stroke Short Shaft

    Re: Engine Oil Change, 2004 BRP Johnson 6hp 4Stroke Short Shaft Nope, it's a 4 stroke. I worked on a 4hp two stroke not long ago, so I could have put that number in here, I guess. This one is a J6RS something.

    Engine Oil Change, 2004 BRP Johnson 6hp 4Stroke Short Shaft

    Can't afford a manual for this little jewel, never saw a 4 stroke outboard before this one one fell in my lap, and I don't think it had even been fully broken in when I got my meat hooks on it. I ran it all last summer, and I'd like to change the oil, but I have no idea how to do that. Before I...

    7.5 Gamefisher carb

    Re: 7.5 Gamefisher carb That orange thingamajuter has several aliases - duck bill, fuel pump element, etc., and is a frequent point of failure. If you look in the hole it fits into in the carb body, you'll see the ports where fuel comes in and goes out. When you put the thing back in there, you...
