    2004 Johnson 25 H.P. 2-Cycle

    I have a 2004 Johnson 25 H.P. 2-stroke, and I understand that it may be one of the last of its kind. I love that motor, and it's kind of sad that it's the end of an era for 2-stroke carburated outboards of this size. BRP is not offering much for Johnson anymore -- is this the end of the...

    Pull Out Primer

    I have a brand-spanking new 2004 25 horse Johnson (my third Johnson and they're all great :D !) with a pull out primer. Two pulls and then you leave it so the red line shows until it warms up, then close it, right? The local wrench says I should be sure to push it all the way back in once...
