    Anybody watching Hockey Day in Canada ?

    Was wondering if any of our guys were watching the game in Calgary. Not a big fan of either team, but playing hockey out-doors is something alot of us remember. Its a lot of fun to watch. It was alot of fun way back then, too. Eating snowballs off your mittens, looking for lost pucks in the...

    TV repair man needed!

    My parents had a power outage last night from a downed line, and there relatively new 32" Panasonic (CRT) won't come on now. They didn't see any kind of surge of power to the TV or anything of that nature. There is a small V-shaped (side-ways) slot, about 3/4 of an inch long in the back of the...

    Carb problems in 9.9 Johnson

    I posted back in May or June about Vermine getting under the cowling of my Motor. 1976 Johnson #10R76G. Took it to what I thought was a reputable shop, who said they work on outboards. They couldn't keep it running, which is understandable, with the stuff that may have entered the carb. They...

    Air Conditioning

    I posted a similar question in non-boating technical forum, and if this gets booted for that reason, then I understand...but I was wondering why some window AC units will weep out the condensation and some will not? My newest Kenmore 10,000 BTU says DO NOT drill a hole in bottom of unit. But...

    Window Air Conditioners

    Hi, I was just wondering if window air conditioners are supposed to weep condensation, sometime, never, or all the time. I have 3 of them. They seem to be pooling water on the side where there is no weep hole. I have checked the level of all 3 units, and they're right on, as far as the...

    Kubota HD7610

    Dad is looking to change the trans fluid in his new 2 yr old (very low hrs) Kubota. Will generic TDH fluid hurt this tractor. Dealer brand is UDT. My old '66 International gas doesn't care if I use generic, but not sure of a new Diesel. Thanks for any insight. Kerry

    Running on 1 cyl.

    I have a '76 Johnson 9.9, and brother and I were out to the Lake for the 1st trip this season. Pulled like a son-of-a-gun and finally babied it to half throttle, where it suddenly stopped like someone shoved a crowbar in the gears. Got it freed from forward and got it restarted after awhile...

    Sparkplugs for '76 Johnson

    I have a 9.9 Seahorse and changing the plugs for the first time. I bought it last year. Found on-line the Champion UL81J fits this motor.<br />However the plugs that are in it, are L82C Champion. It has ran beautifully this last year, so what should I replace them with? The motor is mostly...

    Lower unit seal ?

    After replacing the impeller on my '76 9.9 Johnson, and bolting the lower unit back on, I was wondering if there was supposed to be a seal or gasket to be installed. There wasn't one there when I removed the lower unit. My first motor. Also still having trouble getting anything but a spray...

    over-board water problems...still !

    Hi Again!<br />Several questions about 9.9 Johnson. <br />Model# 10R 76G Serial# C 4764...<br />I put in a new impeller, put the muffs back on it and still no flow out the pee-hole! How-ever a previous responder said my motor had no pee-hole. I'm confused, because there is a hole just below...

    Thermostat

    I put a new impeller on my '76 Johnson 9.9, and while the lower unit was off I attached the garden hose to the copper tubing that goes into the waterpump, and still no water out the telltale hole. What next? I've poked a wire down thru ther numerous times, so I'm sure its at least partially...

    New Impeller

    I just finished installing a new impeller in my '76 Johnson 9.9. Since I've never had an outboard apart, it went pretty well. However the two chambers on either side of the water-pump seemed to be pretty thick with oily crud.<br /> When I was removing the top cover of the water-pump to get...

    Cooling question

    I reguards to my previous question about the amount of water that should be coming out of the top hole: I purchased a set of muffs for the water-intake and hooked it up to the garden-hose.<br />Water coming out everywhere below the muffs, and thru a small hole below the prop. I can feel a bit...

    water-hole may be clogged

    I'm not sure quite how to put this, but the cooling part of my 9.9 Johnson may be plugged.<br />Its a '76 SeaHorse, and puts out a fine spray at slow troll, and gradually puts out more water, as speed increases. But always a "spray"!<br />I'm assuming impeller is intact and working, but vent is...

    1976 9.9 Johnson lubrication ??

    I got tired of waiting for a buddy of mine to "de-winterize" my moter and was wondering if you could tell me what type, of lubricating oil to use. I also need the position of the drain, and fill holes. Thanks for answering the incredably obvious ! (My first outboard)
