I have a four leaf spring with a 27" length from eye to eye. Can I use one with 26"? I should be able to move the link plate closer to fit the smaller springs right?
Does anyone know what is the difference between Champion L77J4 and a Champion L77JC4 spark plug? The service book and online charts shows different spark plugs for the same motor. I have a 1979 35hp Johnson. Thanks.
What does a miss firing sound like? I recently rebuilt my lower unit and gapped my spark plugs. I also took off the foam insulation from the motor cover.
Now it sounds different. I have not test it out on the water to see if it lost any power yet. It now sounds kind of like a Harley Davidson...
I recently replaced my impeller on my 1979 35hp Johnson. I didn't have the correct gasket for it so I used silicone (new gaskets on order). When I use the muffs to run the motor it pumped OK but not great. I just took the boat out today and the pump didn't want to work. I am guessing that the...
I have a 1979 Johnson 35hp @ 5500rpm model #35E79A. I am currently using a 10x13 prop and I was told my gear ratio is 14:27. How do I calculate my max speed? What prop size is best for max speed? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Anyone know what is the gear ratio for a 1979 35hp Johnson model # 35E79A? I am trying to figure out the top speed with a 10x13 prop at 5500 rpm. Thanks.

Anyone know where I can get zinc chromate primer? I checked couple of local auto store and none of the cans I saw has the words zinc chromate primer on it. Is it called something else?
I have some regular primer and was wondering after one coat of zinc chromate primer, can I spray regular...
I am having a hard time removing the shift rod seal on my 1979 35hp Johnson. How do you guys do it? Is there a special tool to get it out and in? Thanks.
Can the forward gear be fixed? There is some damage to the clutch dog so I am going to replace it but the forward gear doesn't look too bad. I was wondering if I grind the sides of the gear where the clutch meet with a dremel. Will this work? I have a 1979 35hp johnson. Thanks.

I have a 1979 35hp Johnson and I can't seem to get the bearing carrier off. I am using 2 bolts and a strip of metal with two holes drilled. The metal strip is placed on the end of the prop shaft. Will this bend the shaft or cause and internal damage?
Right now I am soaking the carrier with oil...
I am going to restore my 1960's 14ft Glasspar Lido runabout. It has some spider cracks around bolted areas as well as on each of the top sides caused by being stepped on. How do I go about fixing this? I am thinking of opening the cracks with a dremel. Filling them with Marine-Tex and then...
Hi all,
I have a 1979 35hp Johnson outboard. I took my boat out today and the motor jerks about every 10 secs. It jerks more at faster speeds. I think it is the clutch. I ran it in reverse and it still jerks. It ran fine a week ago. Three days ago I adjusted the Spark plugs gap to 0.030...
No sure what is the problem with my motor. It ran fine last two weeks ago. The engine will not start. If I spray fuel in the carb, it will run for about 2 seconds. I rebuilt the carb and it is still not starting up. Fuel does not come out when the drain plug is removed. I think the carb is still...
I have a 1979 Johnson 35 hp engine model 35E79A. How do I add a techometer and temperature gauge to the engine? Can I also add a water pressure gauge to monitor if the water pump is working? Thanks.
