    Johnson HD25

    Hello everyone. I’ve got a little hd 25, that I need to know if it’s got a tale tale of any kind. I’m figuring since it’s a 1946-1950 it probably just comes out the exhaust. Thanks a lot.

    Thread opening

    Hey guys, quick question. After I open a thread, read it, and then hit the back arrow to return to main forum for other threads, the text pops up in a light tan box hiding other threads. How do you close these?

    Sportwin 10

    Hey guys, I have a question for you regarding my power head. The engine has set for years. The engine is in great shape and should fire right up after I get a fuel pump for it. I'm wondering if I need to remove the oil feed line from the top to the bottom and make sure it's clear. Is this an...

    TX requires titles on boat and motor. I am wondering if the oldies are ok to run without a risk of a ticket. Has anybody had any problems running their vintage motors on Tx lakes without titles? I found this on the TXPWD site: Currently owned untitled outboard motors must be titled when...

    1977 Eska 7.5

    I just aquired one of these with good spark and compression. I am soaking the carb so I can rebuild it. My question is, I see it has cooling fins and a water pump. Do the cooling fins keep it cool if the water pump fails or does it need both systems to cool it? I also see where I can hook up a...

    intermitend spark

    My saga continues with my little 58 sportwin 10 model 10016. Got it fired up again and it was running really rough. So I put my plug tester back on and it would barley jump an 1/8, and not do that every time. Popped the flywheel off and checked the points. They were dead on, so I cleaned them...

    1948 Seahorse HD25

    Got it running alot better by cleaning up the points, they were black. Still think my low needle packing is leaking, but it will idle alot slower than it was. When I ohmed my coils I got 3500 on each. Is this a good reading on these coils?

    1958 Sportwin 10 won't run

    This little motor just keeps stumping me. Fixed the spark issue and tried to fire her up for the first time. The only way it will run is by spraying fuel in the cylinders. Carb is spotless with a full kit in it, including welch plug. It won't run by spraying fuel through the carb with the...

    1948 hd25

    Trying to get my other little motor running. I honed the cylinders and got 75lbs. on both cylinders. Test ran it, would not idle and was running hot. It has a new impeller and pin. So I dropped the LU and it was full of gas. The carb is spotless. Any ideas as too what is causing this?

    1958 Sportwin No Spark HELP

    When I first got this motor, it did not have spark. Cleaned the points and ohmed out coils, still no spark. I then unhooked the kill switch and tested it, its working, normally open. I then hooked the kill switch wires from the mag together and got spark. Makes no sense, if the kill switch is...

    Pressure tank

    New here, so let me say hi to everyone and tell you what a great forum you have. I have a 1958 Sportwin 10 that a buddy of mine gave me. I fix all their outbords so he picked this one up for me at a estate sale. Anyway, it did not come with the pressure tank. I am just going to throw a fuel pump...
