    1997 50hp Johnson - techron issue?

    I wasn't trying to clean the carb, I was attempting to decarb the engine. Didn't expect to have starting issues from it. All seems well now, whatever gunk in the jets must have passed. I'm still happy I posted this as I learned I wasnt using the primer correctly lol

    1997 50hp Johnson - techron issue?

    No offense taken, I was instructed by my dad and I didn't bother to double check his instructions. That being said I've been running this motor for a year through summer heat and icey lakes without a hiccup so I was taken back by it.

    1997 50hp Johnson - techron issue?

    OK I will definitely change my habits and follow the correct procedure. Why would this all of a sudden give me grief after running techron? Coincidence?

    1997 50hp Johnson - techron issue?

    Hello! I have a 1958 StarCraft Jupiter. She is in really good shape, however, she leaks a bit - I am trying to get some insight before I go scorched earth and rip her down to the studs.

    1958 Starcraft Jupiter

    That was what I was looking for. I can assume since it is 6 passengers, its 6 persons or 900 lbs combined weight (with motor, equipment, etc)

    1958 Starcraft Jupiter

    Thanks for the info. Is yours listed as Passengers*150=Max Weight or is there wiggle room? Some of the stickers ive seen have more weight then the passenger count.

    1958 Starcraft Jupiter

    Assuming they were using 150lbs as a person, 6 people is already more than 850. But I dont know what they considered a persons weight in 1958...I know modern stickers list 150.

    1958 Starcraft Jupiter

    I am working on my 1958 Starcraft Jupiter and I would like to get a new weight sticker printed. The original is long gone. I know the brochure for that boat stated 6 person capacity and a 70hp motor but it doesnt list a max weight. Anyone have any remote idea what that may be?
