    No spark on cylinder 1 and 3! Need help please

    Just rebuilt my 1976 115 Johnson and everything went well except when I went to try to start it.

    AHHHHHH piston rings busted! What next??? Help

    I am doing my first outboard engine tear down to reseal the crankcase on my 1974 Johnson 115hp . In doing so I am cleaning all the parts and checking things as I go. I labeled each piston and rods to ensure I place it back in the same cylinder. Well.... I think I screwed up. While cleaning...

    Tilt lock and reverse lock assembly pic request

    Hello, I am new to outboards and have a 1976 115hp Johnson outboard that I have recently rebuilt. One thing I did notice is that it is a manual lift and I dont seem to have any of the tilt lock or reverse lock assembly added. I believe it had a PTT before but none of that came with it. If...
