    Fuse problem on 98 Force 120

    On the lake today, at one point turned key to start and nothing. Also trim/tilt was dead. Looked and found a 20 amp fuse on a red wire had blown. To get back home, used a bent fishhook to replace fuse, it more or less worked but the volts gauge was going crazy, showing 3 volts charging at low...

    98 Force 120

    This spring my motor seems to stall when I give her the gas, after slow idling/trolling for awhile. I think it did this last year, but seems to be more of a problem now. I would guess it amounts to a carb cleaning, due to old gas/oil gumming up. Cleaned the plugs, they were a bit...

    spark plug

    One of the spark plugs on my 56 johnson 15 is bad. The insulator does not appear to be damaged, the plug does not look worn out, but I have no idea how old the plugs are. I know that it is bad because I can swap cylinders and isolate that it is the problem. The plugs are c j6. I cleaned the...

    tiller throttle gears

    Is there any way to tighten up the contact in the brass gears for the throttle in my tiller handle? The motor is a 56 15hp johnson. The gears tend to just grind when the throttle is opened, unless I use a lot of pressure in my grip, and seems like the problem is becoming terminal now. Is this...

    recoil starter spring

    Hello, the spring broke into 3 pieces in the starter assembly for my old 56 johnson 15 hp. I have been searching old posts but cannot find where anyone has mentioned a part number, I am guessing it is still available through Napa? I don't know how to find the part number, calling Napa got me...

    56 15 hp fuel system

    Hello, Thanks to you guys, I got this old Johnson motor to run pretty good. But I can't seem to get it to idle down as far as I think it should. The high speed needle seems set fine, and it runs good at high and midrange, but when I try to sit and idle or run at trolling speed, it spits and...

    carb kit

    Hello, I am trying to install a carb kit in a 15 hp 1956 Johnson. I see that there is a threaded spacer of some soft material down in the hole that is for the low speed idle adjustment (I think). I don't see anything quite like that spacer in my oem carb kit, and unfortunately it looks like...

    50's Johnson 15 hp

    Hello, my uncle gave me a 50's model sea-horse 15hp motor, he bought it new, I forget the exact yr but could recheck it. <br /><br />I have not been able to get it to fire at all. <br />I checked the spark, both plugs seem to fire very hot. I have tried priming through the plug holes with gas...
