    Help please! 1988 Johnson outboard lack of power and stalls.

    Doesn't that carb have a plastic top? And are the throttle rollers in good shape?

    Help please! 1988 Johnson outboard lack of power and stalls.

    I am talking about the gasket on top of the carb. Not the float bowl gasket

    very cool carb and intake manifold causing moisture

    Are you still doing this all in your Driveway? E 10 is fine to run in that motor no need to waste your money on more expensive gas. Racer is right about the gas cooling the carb down. And about the doing a link and sync.

    Help please! 1988 Johnson outboard lack of power and stalls.

    You either did not put the nozzle gasket on. That goes inside the float bowl. Or you put the top gasket on backwards. The idle circuit is in that top cover. To set the float hold the carb upside down and set the float to level.

    Mercury 115 2+2

    I would be very careful about overevving that motor. Anything over 5250 and there is a great chance of breaking a piston skirt. Get a tach if it doesn't have one.

    Another day another motor, another problem. Help, please

    I think those #s are fine for that motor.

    Mercury 115 2+2

    What is the health of the motor? A 19" pitch aluminum would be a good all around prop for that. Your MAX Rpms should be 5250. A 10" pitch should have sent the RPMs through the roof. A 10" would be a terrible choice for skiing. I buy the Factory manual for that motor and start doing test.

    1988 Sears Gamefisher 9.9 - ignition problem

    That coil looks cracked and has burn marks. If what I am seeing is correct it needs to be replaced.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    Did you use the correct gaskets? Is that the carb that uses a little hose in the float bowl? If it is make sure that is connected.

    93 Johson 150hp fuel issue

    You need to clean and rebuild the carbs. If that is a looper motor make sure you clean the calibration pockets. Also buy a factory manual.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    15 probably needs to be about 3 turns out from lightly seated.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    Check for spark. Maybe have the low speed screw set to lean? Using the primer choke? Using the throttle?? Compression test done pulling briskly 5 times for each cylinder.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    My McCullochs were running 100-1 on factory oil in 1964. No special bearings then. It was just good quality factory oil and never had a problem. So yes easy to prove me being right. My McCulloch was rated 75 hp at 5600 rpm.

    Run it.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    Well you and Racer can both be wrong on this one. A little more knowledge on your part would go a long way. Those motors failed after long term storage not while they were running. That is no secret. As fars as oil technology goes McCulloch was running 100-1 on their oil back in 1964.

    97 Evinrude E50ESLEUS trim/tilt relay location??

    That motor does not have tilt and trim. The SPL models were more of a budget motor usually not having tilt and trim. It should have some kind of tilt assist.

    100:1 or 50:1?

    I don't care what people decide to run in their motors. But to say it can't be done is not true. Run what you want. People need to know only certain oils can run 100-1 not all of them can.
