    Johnson B-series Mystery Puking A Milkshake

    Got a thin blade in between and started to loosen at the top end. Definitely splitting at the top. The bottom remains tight like I'm missing a fastener. Hmmm. J

    Johnson B-series Mystery Puking A Milkshake

    I have no model number. It is a straight 4, fuel injected 4-stroke from somewhere in the 2000s, supposedly 115 hp. The coin on the engine says 25 024232. Bottom cylinder puking a milkshake. I'd like to pull the cylinder head to inspect gasket and aluminum. The instructions and videos I see...

    Silliest Question on Fuel Mix - Thank you for your patience

    I recently acquired a 1958 Johnson 7.5 with the tank. The system looks good with the exception that the spark plug threads are completely stripped out. I am replacing the head. The fuel mix instructions on the tank say 16:1 (8 oz SAE 30 weight to 128 oz gasoline). Should I be using straight...

    1968 Johnson 65 hp VXL-14B No Spark On Any Cylinder

    Thank you. This may help me with the points. Got a service manual AND a Seloc manual. The Seloc is great. Gives you actual numbers to look for from components. Best I can tell right now is amplifier is not working. I get the 12v in but nothing out. Should be about 350v going into the coil...

    2000 Merc 135 carb help requested

    Seems like a carb issue. But be sure fuel supply is good; primer and line, fuel pump, etc... Running too lean: stall at throttle up, choke to accelerate. Any idea what size your idle jet is? From a parts list there appears to be (4) sizes to choose from; 046, 056. 058, 060. J

    Need Help with 1984 115 hp Trim / Tilt Decision

    It looks like a pretty easy swap. That's why I'm thinking I wouldn't even try to rebuild the current unit. If I can put one in as easy as it looks, I'm not too inclined to put time into rebuilding the old. Can you tell me if it is a 2-wire or 3-wire design? Thanks, J

    2017 Mercury 25, Fuel Injected, 4-Stroke Skipping

    Model: F25ELPT, 1A25413EK. Serial: 0R795071. Starts and idles great. At throttle up it may take off and feel good but after maybe 30 seconds it will skip like its falling off and struggling to survive. Pulling the throttle back and waiting a few seconds may let you throttle up again but the...
