    1967 johnson ignition

    I have a 1967 johnson 9.5 h.p. and am having trouble idling it. After rebuilding carb, installing new fuel pump and lines, installing new spark plugs and wires, and numerous adjustments to the low speed mixture, I got no results. It still coughs and dies at idle. I read in the manual that the...

    1966 johsnon 9.5 starter replacement

    I am trying to replace the pinion gear on the top of the starter that engages the flywheel. I have the entire starter off the motor, but cannot remove the "roll pin" (the pin that rides in the slot on the pinion gear) from the shaft. The manual that I have just says to remove, no instructions...

    My motor will start and run fine for a few seconds... then, at idle, it starts to sputter and skip a little, then it dies. I have installed a carb kit and cleaned the carb, replaced fuel pump, replaced all fuel lines(including the one from the tank). I pump the primer bulb and it starts. Once...

    1966 johnson 9.5 "missing" at idle

    I just replaced the spark plug, spark plug wires, fuel pump, carberator(rebuilt?. The motor finally starts and runs good, but it wants to miss at low idle. It does not die, but every few seconds it sounds like it will. It only does this at idle and seems to run great with a little throttle...

    1966 Johnson shifter linkage

    I pulled the lower unit on my Johnson 9.5 and now it will not shift correctly. It will shift into neutral(middle) and forward(down), but not into reverse(up). I am sure that the problem is in the connection of the shift rod into the coupler at the lower unit, but I have removed and reinstalled...

    I started the motor the other day after sitting for approx 3 yrs. There is no water coming out, so I dropped the lower unit to change impeller. After taking water pump apart, I noticed that the pump housing has several small knicks and scratches and one small pinhole in the bottom that goes...

    in-line water pump

    I am replacing the livewell drains on my bass boat and ran into a little trouble. Due to limited space, I have to make 90 degree turns in the hose, but the drains are gravity fed and will not push water through the bends. I am looking for an in-line water pump that I can mount in the bilge in...

    Installing trim relay

    I am trying to install a relay for my tilt/trim on a 73 evinrude 115. The boat did not have a relay when I bought it, so I have no guide to go by. I think I have it wired correctly, but when I hit the switch, all I get is a humming coming from the relay. I do not have a ground going to...

    1973 EVINRUDE TILT

    I have a 1973 Evinrude on which the tilt/trim is not working. It worked when we bought it, but one day it quit lifting by itself. The motor would run and you could lift the motor by hand when the switch was on. My brother said that the relay was bad and that it was not necessary to have; that...
