The guys came by and picked up the motor. Put it on the boat and took it to the river and backed it down the ramp. Fired right up, pumped water and idled down and purred like a kitten. Two cases of the king of adult beverages and everyone is happy.
Working on a friends 9.9 (1994) I think. Cleaned the carb and replaced the fuel lines. I want to run it out of the river so I need to know what kind of fitting screws into the lower unit to hook up to a garden hose.
So there is a guy advertising a 20 hp Johnson saying it is now a 25 hp just by changing the high speed jet from an .068 to a .072. Is that all it takes? I know the CI is the same.
Apparently, grease was used years ago in lower units. My 1953 Evinrude Fleetwin operators manual states that the "new" design uses hypoid oil instead of grease.
