    98 Kawasaki 900stx issue

    I recently purchased a 1998 Kawasaki 900 stx. It runs pretty good. The issue is that I can't turn it off. The kill switch isn't working. I ordered a replacement switch and got the same results with it. So, I'm assuming the problem isn't in the switch. The lanyard has to be attached for...

    9.9 Mercury 4 stroke Fuel in Oil

    Working on a 9.9 4 Stroke Mercury serial number OR4415xx. I pulled the dipstick and fuel/oil spurted out. I am guessing the fuel pump is the only way for fuel to get in the crankcase?

    8 HP Mariner issues

    I am working on an 8 HP Mariner od107882 and I am stumped. I checked compression at 102/105 and spark easily jumps 1/2 inch or more. I just can't get it to even act like it wants to start. I have squirted a little gas in the carb throat. Barely a pop or nothing at all. I removed the spark...

    Nissan NSF 9.8A3 Oil Question

    I installed a new fuel pump and cleaned the carb and installed gaskets and low speed jet in a fellows 9.8 Nissan 4 stroke yesterday. The motor is on his pontoon boat and was running pretty good after my work. I mentioned to him that his oil level was low and he should check it. He called me back...

    1988 Yamaha 9.9 ESG

    I have a 9.9 Yamaha that will not engage forward gear. It will shift into neutral and reverse and stay there, working as it should. When I shift into forward there is a ticking sound but no engagement (prop doesn't spin) of the forward gear. If I pull the shift lever with some force to the...

    NSF9.8A2 Fuel Pump Issue

    I usually stick to my old Evinrudes and Johnsons but a fellow asked me to see if I could get his 9.8 Nissan 4 Stroke working again. I have a very similar, if not the same, motor that my dad uses, a 9.9 Mercury 4 stoke. This fellow had let someone borrow his motor and that person left it...

    AD-10 1956 Johnson 7.5 Parts

    I picked up a 1956 Johnson 7.5 yesterday. Unfortunately, it has about 20lbs of compression. I am not having any luck finding a parts list for this motor. I am going to try a new head gasket and an impeller at minimum. I am sure that I am overlooking an obvious source but my searches haven't...

    1976 Johnson 9.9 will not stay in gear

    I am working on a 76 Johnson 9.9 that I have tussled with a time or two before. The last time I saw it the owner had run it in thick weeds and had not monitored the water output. He ended up blowing the head gasket. I replaced the upper water tube grommet, head gasket, etc. It ended up...

    25E78C No fire

    1978 25 hp Johnson with no fire. This boat and motor has been on ongoing project for some time. I discovered today that it has no spark at either cylinder. I have had the motor running in the past and was surprised to find it had no spark today. What should I check? Is there a kill wire at...

    Honda 2 hp no fire

    My first time looking at one of these little 2hp Hondas. It doesn't have any spark at all. I removed the kill switch wire and checked again. Still no fire. Is this likely the coil? Magnets look good and feel strong. BZBF 2312334

    Stumped again. 7.5 mercury water flow issues

    I am working on a friend's 7.5 Mercury. He said it wouldn't start but it did for me on the 3rd pull. What concerns me most at the moment is that no water is exiting the tell tale. I pulled the LU and checked the impeller. It's new and is turning with the shaft. I put the cover back on and...

    1997 Mariner 20EH ignition issues

    Working on a motor for a friend. His 20 hp Mariner had no fire. He said the switchbox had been replaced last year. I cleaned every connection I could find, disconnected the kill switch, and could never get any fire so I ordered a new switchbox and installed it. Now I have spark jumping 7/16 on...

    Need a bit of (subjective) advise

    I have the opportunity to trade for a boat,motor,trailer for a very reasonable amount of money. The boat appears to be a Critchfield Fish/Ski type. It has a J130TLEDM 1996 130 Johnson on it. I haven't seen it, other than pictures, at this point but it looks to be and the owner claims it is in...

    Mariner 30A Flywheel won't turn

    I am working on a Mariner 30A for a fellow. He said it wouldn't run and he thought that maybe it had some bad gas in it. Compression was 120/124 and spark jumped 7/16. I pulled off the fuel filter and it had a little water in it. Tonight I pulled the carb and the bowl was about half full of...
