    New Johnson J35EL CND

    Dumped the last of the contents of the fuel tank. Went to rinse out the inside and found 2 tree limbs in there.(fuel gages??) Finally got it clean, and the fuel gage reinstalled and ready to fuel up as soon as I replace the 2 fuel lines.

    New Johnson J35EL CND

    Agreed! No need to spend a lot of money if it does not have enough compression to provide sufficient power. there is an auction next Saturday with a Yamaha 8hp 4 stroker, with maybe 8 hours of use. I might try and get it, kinda small for a 14 foot long, 6 foot wide boat but I'm in no hurry these...

    Ted Williams idling bad drive shaft

    So after installing a carb kit or most of it, I added fuel to the tank and she tried to run after choking and 6 pulls. After many attempts, I was able to get her to idle, without surging or coughing. Mostly smooth idle, and speed picked up nicely. Had mist out the exhaust holes and lots of...

    New Johnson J35EL CND

    Ok, I installed 2 new plugs today. The bottom one screwed in a long way before it got tight. The top one, was tight right away, felt like it had bad treads, think this is where the wrong plug was located. I tried to check the compression before installing the plugs, difficult to do when you are...

    New Johnson J35EL CND

    Sounds right to me. Will the fuel mix be 32:1? I will do the compression check using the pull start, since I have no battery as of now. Think I purchased the boat, and trailer, the motor came with it, free. only gave $800.00. Will know for sure when it does not leak.

    New Johnson J35EL CND

    Purchased a Landau 14 foot boat with Johnson J35EL CND, brought it home today and checked the spark plugs. Found 2 different sizes of plugs. That might explain why he said it ran rough last time out on the water(last summer). That and there is Ice in the fuel tank. He did say not to try and use...

    Trolling motor powered by DeWalt 20 volt battery is rs

    Ok. I can mount the battery in the bow, and that will help with the balance. I can use shut off switch midship and add an extension to the tiller so I can still sit in the middle seat. Set the speed control, then use switch to control drifting speed, with poles off the stern to drift for...

    Trolling motor powered by DeWalt 20 volt battery is rs

    I think I would like to mount this trolling motor midship, so I can sit in the middle of my 12 foot V, so it stays flat, not stern heavy. myself batery and trolling motor and maybe the 3HP would be a lot for the stern area to support. Any thoughts on mounting, or just build a mount to fit the...

    My Dad's Star Craft 12' Lite 196x

    So my dad won this 12' Starcraft Lite with 1.5 Evinrude OB back in the early '60's. He would keep it in excellent condition every year, even though it may have only been on the river 3-4 times. He gifted it to me back in the early '80's, and I used it for river and lake trips some years more...

    My 3 hp Johnson JWF -22 carb has the orifice plug and stud where other 3 hp carbs have a high speed adjustment. Is there a standard setting for this orifice plug? Webekin

    Purchased a Sears Ted Williams 5.5 today

    Ok, I purchased the outboard oil, and mixed 4 OZ. to a gallon. I can add another 1`.33 tomorrow. Using this mix, I placed the unit in the tub of water, covering the C plate and water inlet. Used my Dewalt cordless drill and turned it over. It would start and run for 2-3 seconds on it's own when...
