    2012 Suzuki Df9.9AES rough carb or choke issues?

    I think I'm dealing with a carburetor/auto chocke issue. I just acquired this motor with 5 hours on it on trade after original owner gave up on it after over filling the oil and locking it up, then his dad burned up the electric starter trying to get it running again. First, I purchased a manual...

    1995 175hp Johnson- Charging AGM deep cycle bank with 35A charge system?

    I'd like to know if I can, and how, to charge my house bank of AGM batteries from my main motor. This stator+rectifier/regulator is rated to 35a and terminal voltage tops out at 14.4v (measured). My older 25hp kicker/backup-get-home motor has no charging stator. Please note: house bank is AGM...

    76 25hp Johnson Tilt Up lock

    I was curious if these motors came with a tilt lock for the up position. It works fine in the down lock but I don't see anywhere on the motor that will keep it locked in the up position. I'm just going to use it or trolling so need to pull it up when I run the main motor. If necessary, I have an...

    1976 Johnson 25hp ignition upgrade?

    I picked up this old motor for $80 on a whim just because I needed a 25hp as a kicker and it was in excellent condition, well taken care of, and electric start. The seller couldn't start it because it came off a boat he bought and didn't have a tiller arm- or knowledge of the motor. I finally...

    1995 175hp - Tach works but not charging batteries

    Narrowing previous thread to single question. Model J175EXEOM Motor starts well, goes into quick start at +/-1000-1100 rpm then drops to around 700-800 rpms and very smooth. This was the reading TODAY on my outboard tach, set to 6P. Rectifier is water cooled style and there is no terminal...

    1995 175hp Johnson - Ongoing electrical issues

    I have the boat back home now and finally did some initial observation. Here are the issues I've dealt with much of the Summer/Fall. 1. Constant (solid) alarm condition 2. Intermittent failure to restart 3. No charging and no tach I think (1) and (2) are related and might have narrowed the...

    1994 175hp Ocean Runner intermittent restart failure

    This is the first season running this motor so I'm still getting to know it. For a bit of background on how I run it: it had about 50 freshwater hours max on it when I bought it. Since July I've logged about 50 additional saltwater hours in the cold Puget Sound and colder Pacific Ocean off the...

    Compare 200hp X-Flow vs. 175hp Looper

    I've decided not to rebuild my 1978 200hp V6 Evinrude (200849) this year since I'm not going to have enough time with work and family stuff after it threw a ring on the #1 cylinder (plugged carb). Besides, parts were going to run about $750+boring costs. Last week I was able to purchase a...

    Trouble finding matching head for 1978 Evinrude 200hp

    Re:1978 Evinrude 200hp Model 200849R First, some background, speculation, and a feeble excuse: In early August I was towing back from the launch (read: puget sound/saltwater) and drove over very large unnoticeable "dip" that launched the trailer wheels off the pavement (at <30mph) and boat came...

    Glasply Forum has moved

    We have been trying to get the word out that the the site was hacked and pulled down. The admins have been working hard to re-image it. In the meantime, it is being rebuilt at Glasply.org. You will need to register again but the process is really easy now. Like this site, it's the membership...

    Johnson/Suzuki 1999 9.9hp 4-stoke idle speed is high

    I tried out a 1999 Suzuki (which they made for Johnson and look identical from what I can see and have read) 4-stroke this weekend to use as a kicker for my 20ft deep-V fiberglass boat. The motor ran great, started instantly, no gripes in that regard. It didn't sound like it was idling really...

    1985 25hp timing/throttle sync

    I have a quick question on where to set the carb throat to open on this motor. In the photo the two red lines are the marks on the timing cam. Do I set the carb throats to open when the roller is in the middle or just beyond that? I know where all the adjustment linkages are, just not where it's...

    Here's a unique boat launch!

    I took off out of the Steilacoom/Anderson Island Ferry launch site today. My wife took this pic. The currents were extremely strong so I had to turn it around and push out. I never even noticed the train! The seas were pretty calm, so we got quite a few pics in today too.

    Most dangerous day on the lake EVER!

    I have a small lake near my home that is easy to get to. Fishing is usually up until 10am when it gets hot, then the swimmers/skiers/PWC come out. Unwritten rule but followed closely. We got out there about noon on Friday just so I could pull the kids around on the tube and pull into some of...

    Look at this old one!

    Evinrude Fisherman #5522 - 01625 5.5hp (I believe 1962) I'm not sure what I want to do with this. It looks like it's in great condition and really clean. The previous owner said it was running the other day (no reason to think he's telling a fish story here) but needs carb adjustment and I...

    What do you call this?

    ...ok, let's get the jokes out of the way first "Time to get a new motor" "Time to upgrade your anchor" 1985 Evinrude 25hp I picked this up today as a parts motor for some labor trade and already have someone who needs the tiller, which is great since it's set up for controls so I'm not out...

    1982 Evinrude 140hp starter / solenoid issues

    OK, so I'm a bit stumped here. I was working on this motor a guy wants running to sell and at first it would crank over as I checked spark and compression on each cylinder (which were fine). I pumped fuel into the carbs and the starter slowed, then wouldn't engage. I took the starter to the...

    Carb jet confusion - 1978 200HP Evinrude

    Model E200849R My motor was acting up a bit (rough idle and noticeable hesitation at transition point of about 2000ish - 3000ish rpms) so I decided to do a simple carb cleaning. I pulled the plugs on the 2 jets located on each side of the carb (12 total) and fished bare 24ga copper wire...

    Helping out new boaters

    I work on a lot of Johnson/Evinrude (1973-1993) motors and frequently my customers are new to boating. Oftentimes they don't have a bunch of boating friends and are left to fend for themselves to figure it all out. Earlier this week a guy was having trouble starting his nice 1990 Evinrude 88spl...
