    Primer Bulb

    Yes, I connected it the correct way. As I said, when I took it out of the package, I squeezed it and felt NO SUCTION. Once it put my finger over the discharge side of the primer ball when I squeezed the ball,the suction end had suction. If I did not cover the discharge end with my finger, it...

    Gas line size

    Problem solved. Did not get any replies, so I figured nobody knew the answer. I got it running good the way I did it.

    Gas line size

    I have a 1991 Nissan 70 H.P. motor. It has a 5/16" I.D. gas line coming from my water seperator to the motor. I have to replace the primer bulb. I have three brand new primer bulbs in my garage, but they are for a 1/4" gas line. I was just wondering if I can get a reduced splicer and put a...

    83 Johnson 9.9 slipping

    Could be a stripped hub on the prop. You can check this by scribing a mark on the hub then check it after going out on the lake to see if the mark is exactly where you put it or did it move? If it move, try a different prop.

    Possibly ran without oil. What to check?

    As for knowing if there is oil in the gas or not, you can pour some gas thru a paper coffe filter and see if it stained with oil or not when the gas drains thru it and it is empty.

    Johnson 50 hp 1996 ran well then died.

    Revisit your carb clean out. Don't use the cheaper Japanese parts. Use original equipment parts. (I'm talking thru experience here with the cheap parts).

    Shakes at low speed

    Unbalanced prop or bent prop shaft I would say. Is the prop chewed up or has a big chhung out of it? It really does not take much to get the prop off balance. At higher speeds, you may not feel the prop is unbalanced at all.

    Hard Start 15 hp

    I have a 6 H.P. 'Rude that I had the same identical problem with. Was hard to start but ran great after it started. Tried everything, even a total rebuild. Had the same issue after wards. Turned out that the choke was not staying closed 100% when I pulled the knob out. Found that when I...

    Just a question 1971 18 hp Fastwin

    Copper has been used for the plumbing in homes and other buildings for years & years. Hard to improve on such a proven product for plumbing use.... Way better than plastic and / or galvanized plumbing. Maybe stainless steel tubing may give the copper a run for it's money, but would the extra...

    Evinrude angler 5hp hard to steer

    There is a screw that you can turn to loosen or tighten the steering mechagnism on most motors (if not all motors). Just look for an adjustment screw and loosen it a smidge and she should loosen up for you.

    94 Johnson Slow Cold Start Issue With Video

    I watched the video, and it appeared to me that you did not lift the fast idle lever up the first time you started the motor, you did not push the key in to choke it, and you put it into gear before the motor had any chance to warm up. The second time you started the motor in the video, you...

    Gear Oil Everywhere

    I would suggest to drain the oil from the lower unit (if there is any left). If it is already drained, you have a problem. If oil is leaking out, that means water is able to leak in as well. If it is milky, you have a problem. If you have oil in the lower unit gear case, and it looks clean...

    Newly bought Johnson 7.5

    When you try starting it when it's in your yard or driveway, make sure you have water in a big drum or garbage can and about 8" higher than where the water ompellor is in the motor. Do not run it dry. You can give it a shot of ether into the carb to see if she will try to start, but I would...
