    1982 Johnson 50 Sea Horse - Constant Beep While Accelerating

    these particular motors will run on the verge of overheating if one or both lower exhaust seals are leaking. especially the upper one if that leaks/gets pinched, it will get hot. there needs to be a "wall of water" cooling the exhaust which is impossible without the seal. easy way to tell if...

    Help identifying fitting. 2000 225

    unfortunately im not at my shop but its either a drain fitting that goes into the airbox, or a recirc hose that goes to one cylinder port side but it doesnt look like a check valve one. Racer could tell you.

    Yet, another Gale sovereign 40 question.

    omc #321504 should be the correct upper crank seal but id certainly take the whole motor apart in an afternoon for a complete reseal. gasket sets are extremely cheap now too.

    1982 Johnson outboard 60 hp 2 cly

    yep just to clarify temp is taken at 900rpm at TOP of the head. these models have a nice flat spot for the old thermomelt sticks... now we use IR guns. temp MUST be between 125-152.5f after 5 minutes. on these motors the rubber exhaust seal must be in good shape and not pinched. you will know...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro, no spark! Help!

    what shop spends the time to grind an impact socket so it will fit, vs just using a regular non-tapered socket? system needs to crank 250rpm minimum to do a proper DVA cranking test. also not sure what he means by "no voltage at high tension"... well yea gotta load test the power pack!

    OMC 6hp Mag Flash

    im not sure where your getting this reliability thing. 1st ive heard. now it is true if you use the modern knockoffs / nova 2 ones with factory coils they wont last long. but never atom/sierra magnatunes. literally never hear of a single failure, including dozens ive done for customers over the...

    OMC 6hp Mag Flash

    well comparing just 2 charge coils and 2 Atom modules to a CDI with sensor, charge, ignition and power pack i meant its better than either one (CD or points) in basically every category on this motor.

    OMC 6hp Mag Flash

    why not convert to ATOM or Sierra red/green ignition modules? now you have a transistor doing the switching and not points that wear and oxidize.

    Evinrude 55 1978 gearcase

    i believe the oil slinger pushes oil up there at some pressure for the bearing. needs a path for the seal too. being a 15'' short shaft as racer said best bet is to get a good used gearcase housing as complete ones are like hens teeth and very expensive and still a crap-shoot

    2000 30hp Johnson possible water restriction/over heats

    indeed. those dual quickstart temp senders are like hens teeth

    2000 30hp Johnson possible water restriction/over heats

    this is excellent advice! one of the most critical things you can do is verify the temp sender is closing at the appropriate temp (im guessing this is a blue stripe one so 240f or so in a pot of oil. i like to replace with the all-brown ones that close at 200f or so) and that the hot horn is...

    1993 fast strike 150 carb jets

    i think the fastrike 150 is basically a stock non-fastrike 175. honestly i could never tell much of a difference between any of them, accept for the 1st year 1991 un-molested ones with the hot heads. those were special.

    1993 fast strike 150 carb jets

    yes. use a 1/8npt to 5/16 barb fitting with gel seal around the threads. double check its not a 3/8 pulse fitting but i think 8mm/5/16 is correct

    1993 fast strike 150 carb jets

    the fastrike should be a 69D, no?

    Tohatsu M70B Cylinder Head

    my mistake ! I thought you had an M70A. but all the same, the 3 cyl head is on ebay too fresh from Japan for $275 or so. sure beats getting a new motor! 3F3B010010

    M15D2 Excess Fuel in Lower Cylinder

    good info. i would add that i am not always correct about saying the main jet is the sole contributor for midrange-full throttle. on a few carbs, the idle circuit is always active, ie. "assisting" the main jet. i dont think these are like that just thought it was worth mentioning!

    Tohatsu M70B Cylinder Head

    353010011 is the head. there are no others for these. theres a used one and a brand new one on ebay. not difficult! see below for new one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163559651748?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9NL3sXnZQ_a&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=AZmt-teCRN2&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
