I was cleaning the driveshaft of my 50th anniversary Johnson 1972 two hp 1 cylinder no gears motor. It is all pitted around where the keyway goes. It has been getting water in the lower gearcase. I put new oil seals and everything else. I hope I am wrong.

Those with the 2 hp Johnson, did your steel gas can get rusty? I have that problem and tried 3 different tank liners and none of them worked for more than 6 months. I am trying to find something else because there are no cans available. Does anyone have any ideas or find something that worked...
I recently purchased a new spring for the rewind starter on my 1976 15hp Evinrude. I managed to get it in the housing and it worked for a few pulls. But now the twisted coil end that goes into the slot in the housing keeps coming out of the slot. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
The armiture plate cam has too much play in it. I goes past where cam meets the plate. The throttle control link goes too far out and touches the motor cover and gets hung up. What do I do to fix this? In other words the full speed is good but the slow speed goes too far back.
I am trying to attach the linkage on the lower unit of my 1969 johnson 6hp. I get the linkage, watertube and driveshaft together but cannot get bolt on linkage because not room for hand to start bolt. I have tried holding socket with bolt and attaching but there is still not enough room to...
My recoil spring broke at the point where it bends to fit into the starter pulley. I have tried to re-bend the coil with pliers and vice grips but it breaks. Is there a way to bend it or do I have to pay $35 for the rewind spring? I have more time than money.
Does anyone have a picture of this motor that shows where the wires from the powepack and coils go? I am trying to figure out if this motor is worth fixing. Thank you.
My motor sticks in one spot when I turn the flywheel. I just cleaned dirt out of flexplate and put back together. I did not move anything so I could not mess up settings.
Can parts from a 1980 evinrude 15hp be used on a 1976. I am mostly concerned with magneto (coils,points, condensers, keyway)? Is there a way I can get the specs for the 1980?
My 1976 15hp Evinrude sunk in my canal for 10 hours. When pulled out it took 3 hours until I was able to pull spark plugs and crank out water and spray with WD-40 then put in oil and drained.. Then I removed and cleaned the carburetor blew out all the passages until there was no water left. I...
