    Idle issues

    Did you do the carb link and sync? Do you have the idle adjustment screw set accordingly? When you said it dies when throttle down, I’m assuming it’s only running at high revs? Checked spark? Running on both cylinders? Low speed jet set to 1 1/2 turns at first then start adjusting once...

    1971 Johnson 25hp Outboard - 25R71S

    Make sure the kill switch wires are not grounded or touching anything. I found a kill switch for cheap on eBay. Get a spark tester to check spark, one that you can adjust the gap. Lots of info online about these motors . I also have a 71 25hp Johnson. Loved it so much I picked up a 70 and 72...

    Motor mounts worn on 72 25hp Johnson

    Well almost done “restoring” a 72’ 25hp Johnson. The motor was a parts motor I picked up but decided it deserved a chance because it looked so clean and runs great. However, there is a lot of play especially on the front. The play is up and down and upon inspection, I noticed the front (side)...

    Best replacement point sets available

    I’ve read few threads about the newer points not being made correctly and issues setting the timing with them, including OMC’s sets. I ran into this with one outboard I have. The new replacement OMC points I installed were incorrect and I ran into issues getting the points to open correctly. I...

    Shift rod adjustment Q-1972 25hp Johnson

    Just replaced the impeller on my 72 Johnson 25hp. After reinstalling the lower unit, I noticed the shift rod was not engaging correctly. It never shifted “correctly” since I purchased it. It shifts, but neutral doesn’t line up correctly with shift handle/setting. Is the only shift adjustment at...

    Try eBay “vintage marine decals”. He’s a nice guy and does custom decals for a very reasonable price and fast shipping. He did several custom decals for my Johnson outboards and they turned out great.
