    2004 Johnson 50hp buying advice

    E10 and old 2-stroke engines?

    SOLVED '73 Johnson 25 eating spark plugs

    Hello! I have a 1973 Johnson 25hp (25BR73A) that suddenly have begun consuming large amounts of spark plugs. When I install new spark plugs it runs just fine the first 3- 5 hours. Then I start to experience loss of power at full throttle. In the beginning it's almost not noticeable. The revs...
