    Parts compatibility, 69 vs. 71 65HP

    I've got the top half of a 1971 65HP, with a chance to get a complete non-running 1969 65HP.<br /><br />I will probably want to cannibalize the 71 to fix the 69 since it's complete, will the powerhead and ignition parts interchange between these 2 years?<br /><br />Or, alternately, will the L/U...

    1970 7.5HP fuel fitting

    Hi all, I just picked up a nice little 7.5HP, 1970, and the Merc fuel connectors that I have don't seem to fit this one. The fitting is recessed into a hole under the front of the cowling, in between the choke lever and the kill button, and the fuel connector from the tank is too big around to...

    1970 Johnson 9.5 no power w/cover on

    Johnson 9.5HP, model 9R70C which I show as a 1970, runs great with cover off, put the cover on and it bogs down badly.<br /><br />I'm figuring either air flow blockage or exhaust gas getting loose under the cover, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.<br /><br />There is about a...

    1988 Evinrude 15HP no telltale?

    Howdy all, I tried to search, but it looks like the search history got lost prior to 12/21/05, so...<br /><br />1988 Evinrude 15HP, new to me, I don't see a pee stream tell-tale like on my 1983 Johnson 15 so I am looking at the exhaust port at the top rear of the midsection for spray, not really...

    Interesting compression results, question.

    1973 Johnson 85HP.<br /><br />Compression on 2 and 4 is 140. Compression on 1 and 3 is 150.<br /><br />Motor is new-to-me, I'm guessing that one side (1,3) may have been rebuilt/honed/ringed, or is there another explanation that one of the resident masters might be able to offer?<br /><br />Can...

    When your stator leaks does the stuff that runs out look like green Lock-Tite?<br /><br />I have been troubleshooting a new-to-me motor with no spark, and what I took for Lock-Tite on a couple of bolt heads I'm now thinking might be stator goop.<br /><br />The 2 bolt heads that it's apparently...

    I'm troubleshooting an ignition problem (no spark on all 4) on my 1973 Johnson 85HP v4 and my Seloc book references an S-80 or M-80 neon tester that I need to properly check out the charging coils and/or the power pack.

The upper one looks kinda fouled too, but the lower is worse and misfires when it fouls.<br /><br />I can take it out maybe twice before it will start bogging down at WOT. I get home...
