Hello all,
I just replaced my impeller on this motor. Model number E30ELECS. Everything went well until I went to start using it. Somehow the shift linkage got goofy on me. Now when I go up by the steering wheel and go to the lever and put it into neutral my motor is actually in forward...
Hey all, I just bought a 16.5 ft alumacraft fishing boat with a side console with a 1998 evinrude 30 hp 2 stroke on the back of it. It fires right up no problems. It idles down nice as well. This was my first time out with it and I noticed a problem. If I let the motor idle or if I trolled as...
Hey all my buddy just brought me down this motor. He couldn't get it started. I took the carb off and soaked it overnight and then sprayed out all the jets with compressed air. Put it back together and I still couldn't get it to fire. I did however get it started in forward with a little...
Hey all just picked up a 2000 nissan 18 hp two stroke electric start for 1000 bucks. When I went to check it out I brought my muffs to hear it run and my compression reader. Everything checked out good on it. Started right up, compression was 130 & 128. Nice clean looking motor. It idled down...
Re: Johnson 20 hp Seahorse no power at WOT
Notice the gunk build up on the leaf plate on the pics below. Is this normal? Also is it possible that one of them might have just been sticking a bit causing my problem? I mean the reeds look great. Nice and flat, no dings, bends, or any damage to...
Hey all I have been looking a lot at new outboards. I am ready for new. Ive been doing a lot of research and I keep going back to the these Tohatsu/nissan. In particular, I am thinking about a 2012 nissan 4 stroke 20 hp. Reliability is everything out on the water, and I know how reliable they...
Model number 20R73A. Replaced coils (the one under flywheel and both exterior ignition coils), points, condensers, head gasket, new plugs. I can get it to put along and start up just fine, but have no power when I try to open her up. Seems like it wants to right out of the hole for about 1...
Hey all im thinking about buying a 9.9 from the mid 90s sometime. Its a long shaft. The motor looks in very good shape on the pics and the owner said he will run it for me. I will be bringing my compression reader with me. I know each cyl should be within 10% of eachother...Whats a good number...
Well I finally found a place that has the part I need. I found the website in the top secret thread under salvage yards. Has anybody ever ordered anything from here? It kind of seems like a scam...I dont want to give out my card number not knowing if its safe..Thanks guys
Every where I look they seem to be obsolete. Anybody know where I might be able to get my hands on one of these? I really dont want to put a re-threader kit in. Is there another engine with the same head possibly? IVe tried a guy in my area that has a HUGE selection of old outboards and he...
Well as you all may know ive been working on restoring my 1973 johnson seahorse 20 hp. I have done a lot of work to it. I have great spark, I rebuilt the fuel pump, and the carb. I have taken a little "time out" from it because I was getting a little frustrated. Compression is 80 on both cyls...
Hello all, this winter I bought a 1973 seahorse johnson 20 HP. Model #20R73A. The most I have have had it tunning for was about 1 minute. It usually is only about for 5 seconds. I get a little smoke as well. I use 50:1 fuel/oil ratio. I am honestly stumped. Being an older outboard, and in good...
Hey all I just got done finishing clean up my pistons and replacing my head gasket. I was just wondering if any of you guys know what torque I need to tighten the head bolts to and if you guys know what sequence I should do so in? '73 johnson seahorse 20 hp...Thanks!
Well I am going to rip my powerhead off and take a look at the piston heads and cylinder walls to take a look and see if the cylinders are scored at all. My question is when Im there what should I use to manually decarb the piston heads and what it is I should use to clean the cyl walls?...When...
