    Freeze up

    I've tried everything suggested to others on this issue. I have even called my ISP and had things tested/checked. When I am logged in and go from the forum to a sub topic there's a freeze problem when scrolling down the page. I can't reply to a topic either...freezes. The weird part is when I'm...

    Prop for a 1996 Merc 60 hp

    Anybody know what a good all around prop pitch/diameter would be for this engine? I realize it's sort of a loaded question. The engine is on a 1997 Starcraft Fishmaster 1660 deep v hull ..factory dry weight said to be 654 lbs. but with me and gear and batteries probably more in the vicinity of...

    1995 Johnson "noses over" at full throttle

    J50TLEOD TWO cylinder slows down with the last tiny bit of throttle applied. Back off throttle a dab and it picks up speed slightly. Link and sync maybe? According to tach it only turns 33-3400 rpms, I realize tach could be off. Also engine runs cool..whatever lake water temp is what she pees...

    Thermostat for 1995 Johnson

    I looked on the online store here for a thermostat kit for a 1995 50 hp Johnson J50TLEOD and there is no listing for that outboard. Maybe a dealer only item? :confused:

    Johnson lower unit leaking

    a bit from thru prop exhaust. 1995 J50TLEOD 50 hp. Scared me when I noticed it. Oil is jet black and sorta thick. I immediately pulled LU fill and drain plugs and checked it. It was fine.. I had just put fresh lube in at the onset of freezing weather. The only thing I can *guess* is I've been...

    Could a power pack cause incorrect rpm issue's

    Johnson 50hp TLEOD two cylinder 1995. RPM's vary from 3100-3400 dependent on water, wind, load, ect. Just recently bought this boat/motor so I have no prior knowledge on whether it's always been this way or not. Previous owner sold his home and moved out west so he's unavailable for...

    Spark gap test for 1995 J50TLEOD?

    Two cylinder 50hp Johnson. I have noticed a lot of engines seem to check for healthy spark at 7/16 inch. Would this be correct for mine?

    Dry or wet spark plugs?

    Trying to get a feel on plugs being wet on my 95 model 50hp Johnson J50TLEOD two cylinder. I've adjust, re-adjusted and then adjusted more and each time I pull plugs and inspect they are always wet. I can't help but think a healthy engine properly adjusted will burn clean, or am I wrong? How...

    Still unsolved vent issue

    95 model 50hp J50TLEOD Johnson. Fuel tank is OMC Dura-Tank non-venting cap..it appears to be the cap that came with the tank according to BRP parts diagram. This tank is under deck (but portable). Problem is that a lot of pressure is building up causing leakage around the fuel hose connection...

    Tashasdaddy

    I seen in a post you said the valve on the primer solenoid can be used for decarbing. Can you go into detail on this? Would it be better than removing the airbox and doing it thru the carbs? Getting ready to decarb before long and just wanted to know the best and most efficient way. I *assume*...

    Need OMC tank connector

    I've checked the iboat store, my local Johnson dealer and poked around the internet looking for a OMC tank fitting. It's a standard ( I guess ) fitting that the fuel hose clips on to. It's a fitting that the hose locks onto..identical to the end that connects to the outboard. The same fitting is...

    Vented cap or not?

    On a 95 Johnson 50hp should the fuel cap have a vent or no? Picked up a little rig 3-4 weeks ago and trying to sort out some issues with it. To start with it had sat too long and carbs had to be rebuilt. (The plugs are now wet after fishing trips and get home and check them.) Today I went out...

    What type wheels

    will fit a 1993 Javelin trailer? They are 13" 5 lug. I searched first and *think* they may be Ford but not 100% sure. Want to update to aluminum. TIA.

    Johnson 50 hp 507LEOD

    has an issue not taking throttle. Cranks fine. Put it into gear and idle around fine. Give it throttle to plane and it just doesn't want to go. This is an ongoing issue. Just purchased the boat today and going to try to sort it out. Previous owner had pistons replaced (.020 overbore) in 06 with...

    Compression test question

    Don't har har me too bad but on a small outboard ( 2 cyl-2 stroke) I'm *guessing* to check compression you hook the gauge up on a cylinder and do just one pull for the reading? The other plug (cyl not being tested) stays in or pull it also? :redface:

    2002 6hp Merc 2 stroke

    Going to look at one tommorrow for my 12' river jon boat project. The seller says it's an electric shift (gears on the handle). Do they hold up as well as a regular shift lever or is there a history of failures for these? Just trying to do some homework before a purchase. I'm hoping for a good...

    Overpowering ?

    Guy's, I'm putting together a 14' jon for occaisional fishing. Small used outboards are pretty pricey but have found an 18hp Johnson really reasonable. The boat is rated for a 6hp. At the risk of sounding silly would this engine be just too much? I'm nearly 60 years young and wouldn't be running...

    Best place to get springs?

    Gotta replace trailer springs, it's a small boat trailer with 13" wheels and has only two leafs on each spring. Where's the best place? Thanks.

    Atlas Royal 5 hp

    Anyone have a motor like this? Going to try and crank it soon and may need a little input if I run into problems. The guy I got it from said it was given to him and he has no clue if it runs or not so I'm going in blind. Did a search but didn't get what I wanted.Tryed to post pics..even cut...
