    1992 Johnson 200hp no spark

    Thanks guys. This is the first time someone suggested checking the cranking voltage and battery. Battery is easy to check but taking apart the starter is probably out of my league. Problem is I took it to a mechanic last week and all he wanted to do was to replace all the ignition parts...

    Hello pros, I am hearing squeaky noises every time I pull the handle to start the motor. Where should lube (see pictures)? Secondly, the manual states to lube the fuel shut off linkage & the choke and throttle linkage, but I have no idea where they are from the attached photos. Can you show me...

    1974Johnson 25 [25RL74M] help

    Hello all, I recently nursed this motor back to life by getting lots of help from the forum. However, because this is my very first outboard motor, I have some questions that a novice usually asks. Question #1, in the first video, you can see that as soon as I turned the throttle control to...
