The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Hi guys, I'm interested in a 2003 Tiderunner that I saw on a Tempest searching Craigslist. Seems like a good boat. In my price range anyway. Through back searching I see it's also here for sale on i boats. Then I see it's a dealer listing. Never dealt with a boat dealer before, only private...
I'm done screwing around. I got my 83 Suzuki DT25 running pretty good but I don't want to be left stranded again.
I'm looking at an OE Honda blem.
Question is, how far apart is the spacing of the mounting clamps, and I assume it has lower mounting holes as well for a more permanant mount.
For...
So my trusty DT cut out while trolling just outside the harbor. Had to get a tow in, that's why we buddy boat.
I was under way and it lost spark at both plugs. I'd love a manual but can't find one, not even thru brownspoint marine.
They have parts diaphragms that will help, but I'd really like a...
Just curious, right in front of the starboard side intake grate is a screw. The manual says its a retaining screw but I can't see from the scematic what it retains. Anyone shed any light on the mystery screw? Whatever it is, it's only accesible thru the lower bearing carrier and behind the ring...
Went fishing yesterday. After the first stop, the keyswitch decided to Jam up. It had 1st position run and you could push down for choke, but try as I might, I could not get it to engage the last "start" part. Even tried the spare key I keep onboard. No luck. Then I get the bright idea to jump...
I've got this baby running pretty good, but it has teeth worn in 4 spots and when cold, where it takes a few cranks to get er' going, I can hear the starter kicking out when it hits the worn teeth. Someday it's not gonna want to start and I'm gonna have to pull the cover and manually turn the...
86 Johnson 6hp fires right up on a half a pull, no choke. But has no beans. Will not "rev up". Linkage seems correct. I can manually reach down to rev it and still nada.
Squeezing the primer ball doesn't help.
Disassembled the ultra clean carb. No debris or obstructions. Put a kit in it anyway...
I have a Suzuki DT25. I believe it's a 1982 or 83'. # says 2502 207806.
It has the rare to find, if you screw up and spin your prop, 6 spline prop.
Getting ready to service the impeller, lower unit and carb.
Last place I got parts for it was Brownspoint Marine, but Hurricane Sandy wiped them...
I picked up an older Johnson 6hp kicker and was wondering what year. He said it's a 1959 ?. Looks newer than that.
Also said it was unique because it was made in Belgium ? Is it special. Having trouble crossing the serial numbers...
They are BJ6BACDE

So I put a new carb from Marine Engines .com on the 92 70HP that I have. You may remember my last, dead hole at idle post. Well, the new carb seemed to do it. I put in the water, put in gear, no stall. Yay !! motored out of the harbor at idle and just above idle. Something that it would not do...
Still working on my 92 johnson 70. Lowerr unit is all sorted out. Starts right up and idles ok with muffs at home and in the water, but when I put it in gear, it holds idle but stalls. restarts OK at first but then seems to load up and not want to restart even when trying to clear with WOT. Does...
The verdict is in !!!
When I smoke tested the water pump outlet port on the lower unit- instantly had smoke coming out the driveshaft, it specifically said "when using the 6 vane impeller on 3 cyl motors, an o ring is not used or required at this spot". So I guess what I'm seeing is "normal" ...
I'm sure I still have an internal water leak somewhere. Either top of the water pump tube or up the driveshaft from the pump or the powerhead gasket that someone suggested. When I had the lower unit off, the w/p tube seemed a little loose at the top. Looks like the only way to access it is to...
I just undid what I did- reinstalled the VRO "fuel pump", wanted to start and idle but would die, turned the red knob a bit on the choke solenoid and it started to idle fine, now fires up instantly.
BUT water is definitely coming out from the vent holes? behind the rubber motor mounts as if w/p...
Hi guys, I have a 92 Johnson 70. I replaced the impeller and resealed the lower unit. Pulling the whole VRO unit, 2 bracket screws and the lines, made it easy to disconnect the shift linkage. Previous owner mixed his own oil and it looks like he just disconnected the electrical and started...
