    Newer control on older Johnson 70hp

    Got the boat with the motor and controls already on it. Motor was not running. Found a shoddy repair job on the intake manifold which was causing a vacuum leak. Changed out the intake for a good one. Had to pull the power head off the lower unit to do that. Rebuilt the carbs. Basically starting...

    Newer control on older Johnson 70hp

    Yes it has the button on the shifter for throttle only. And yes there is a big red plug on the engine. So what about doing the link and sync? There is a cam that has two lines on it that the roller has to line up with. One says “start” the other is blank. Are you familiar with the johnson link...

    Newer control on older Johnson 70hp

    Hi there. I have a 1975 johnson 70hp and it came on the boat with a quicksilver? Controls. The problem with it is that the original controls that i dont have, had a warm up or start lever that you pulled up for starting it. I think it advances the throttle a little from neutral. However the...

    Mobile app for iBoats?

    Is there a mobile version or app for IBoats? Even if it was on Tapatalk that would be nice. I hate looking to see if I was replied to or something was written on a thread that I’m following. It’s much easier to have a simple push notification sent to my phone rather than an email notification

    1975 70hp Johnson Carb placement and identify

    Hi there looking for guidance on carb placement on this outboard. Someone has had the carbs off before and I’m thinking they’re in the wrong spot. Maybe the bowls were put on the wrong carb? I have seen pictures of the triple carb setup and the middle carb has the big nipple coming out of the...

    ISO 88 Starcraft magnum 150 literature

    Good afternoon y’all. Just like the title states, I am in search of any literature, brochures, pictures, etc...for the 1988 magnum 150. I’ve been looking all over the net and haven’t come across anything yet. Also looked in the stickies and the 88 isn’t there. I tried the 87 and 90 links but...
