    My neighbor asked me to work on his 4 hp johnson model 4W76M. It has good spark, compression is around 60 psi on both cyclinders, but will not fire at all. I put gas in the spark plug chambers and sprayed starting fluid in the carburator but it doesn't help at all. I see gas going thru the...

    3 hp johnson keeps flooding

    Hi, I recently acquired a jw-10 3 hp johnson 1952-54 outboard. I've worked on these before, but this one has really frustrated me. I usually clean the carb and put in fresh gas and quite often they start and run just fine. I did the same with this one and it started and ran for about a...

    lower unit 6 hp johnson doesn't fit back together

    I have a mid 70's 6 hp johnson outboard. I removed the lower unit and installed a new impeller. Now I'm trying to reinstall the lower unit but can't get the lower unit to go back into place into the power head. It seems like the pin thru the shaft doesn't want to fit thru the slots at the top...

    mercury 200 20 hp won't keep running

    HI, I acquired a 1975 200 20 hp mercury outboard that had a bad starter rope recoil. I repaired the recoil and can get the motor started, but it dies on me unless I keep spraying starter fluid into the carburator. I'm thinking the fuel pump diaphram needs replacing. I looked for a kit but can't...

    HI, I have a force 120 which overheats whenever i troll slowly with the boat and the alarm sounds. I change the impeller and this helps for about 6 months and then the problem returns. It doesn't seem to me that the impeller should have to be changed every 6 months. Any ideas to help me? Byron...
