    3 vane or 6 vane impeller 1995 70hp

    Just changing out the impeller my '95 70hp I recently acquired and noticed that the impeller is 3 vane. Any motor I've had before around that size has the 6 vane impeller. Is there any difference ? i usually saw 3 vane in lower hp engines not in 70's.

    loose rod cap bolt J70TLEOR

    I picked up a 1995 70 hp for what I thought was cheap, as I needed to replace my other 70hp beacuase I had no T&T. Guy was selling it due to damaged harness, some of the grounds had melted (looked worse than it was). After fixing the wiring, I was quite surprised to find that the motor started...

    1975 70hp johnson tilt motor

    I bought a boat recently with a boat with a 1975 70hp on it (70ESL75E ). It's a two cylinder t&t system but the motor is missing off it and the oil reservoir has silicone sealing it off. It is only bolted on by two bolts but I'm having trouble finding a replacement. I'd like to keep it original...

    1975 70hp johnson really high idle

    I just picked up this motor (70ESL75E) with a project boat im thinking of restoring. compression is close to 110 psi on all 3 cylinders. When I go to start it, it revs right up and wont drop down in rpm to a decent idle level. The throttle cam is well off from the roller on the carbs (approx...

    25hp 4 stroke bigfoot mariner won't start.

    A neighbour has asked me to help him with his motor, as he can't get it to start. Oddly i can't find a serial number on it. It's a 25hp BF is all i can really say. The motor struggles to start, when i press in the key but i can't hear the enrichment valve (?) click, and when i added 12v to it...

    I had to do the worse thing ever and unfortunately had to sell my boat. I have a few bills to pay and college fees due, and something had to go, and i wasn't getting any offers of my other half :) So anyway, i am having boating withdrawal symptoms, and decided to check in here on Iboats, and I...

    70 hp LU bolt trouble...

    Hi, i went to drop the lower unit on an '88 70hp evinrude last night, and got all bolts out except for the large one beside the anode. Over here socket sets are more commonly laid out in mm, so i put a 16mm socket on the bolt and due to salt corrosion, i have to use a good bit of force to get...

    prop stuck 3.3hp

    i think i have broken the shear pin on my 3.3hp mariner, however after removing the cotter pin, i can't get the prop to come off the shaft. Even slightly hitting the prop (plastic) behind the blades won't budge it. Am i missing something else?

    slow moving t&t

    I added a t&t to my 1990 60hp johnson as it only came with a manual tilt that failed. The t&t was unit only with a bust motor but it was dirt cheap. I purchased a motor and then added the wiring including making up a homemade relay box. I also bought a trim switch with a pig tail that i zip tie...
