    JW-10 3hp question

    This motor is for sale and I have never seen one like this where it has the option of running on a remote tank. Is this a home Jerry rig deal or was this a factory option?

    1956 QD-17 Low idle miss

    Greetings mates! I am trying to diagnose a low idle miss on my QD-17. She runs strong at full throttle as I had it out yesterday and it never missed a beat.

    Rubber grommets and strap

    I recently purchased a Johnson QD-16 that I am planning to fix up. Does anyone have a source for the rubber front hood strap and rubber grommets for the carb plate? I used to be able to find them at nymarine, but it looks like Peter is thinning out his product line. Thanks fellas!!!!
