    1989 Johnson 25 hp Converted to 30/35. Help needed!

    Hi, thanks for reading my post. So I have a 1989 Johnson 25 hp outboard that runs great in stock form. I recently changed out the carb and intake manifold from that of a 30/35 hp motor of a similar year. I've read multiple posts about others doing this with great success so I wanted to try it...

    Trying to remove flywheel. Need help!

    So I removed the center nut and put a harmonic balancer puller on using 3 1/4-20 bolts as required. Started cranking on the center bolt and I can't get the flywheel to budge.

    25 HP Johnson won't idle. I need help!

I typically have myself and maybe one other person in the boat with me and the boat will do about 20 mph. A week ago I took one extra person with us so 3 grown men in the boat. The boat...

    1989 Johnson 25 HP Starter/Primer Solenoid Question

    So, my motor runs great, and I don't usually have issues starting it (other than having to mess with the primer solenoid switching between manual and automatic), but after reading a lot of posts about the primer solenoid I'm beginning to wonder if my starter itself is not operating correctly...

    1989 25 HP Johnson/Tracker 2 stroke overheating at idle.

    Just looking for a little help here. This is a new to me motor purchased a week ago on a 16 ft Tracker Deep V with side console. Motor runs great at almost all speeds and spits out plenty of water from the side which tells me it's cooling properly. However, after running the motor for awhile, if...
