    Seahorse 6Hp stops

    When running on low revs the engine stops after a while and can be a little difficult to start again. What do you think about this, I guess, well-known problem?

    Test running in bucket with water.

    Does the cooling work in neutral or is the impellor mowing with the propeller?

    Outboard marine Lawnboy, a Johnson item??

    Saved this baby from the crusher. Unusual in Sweden, newer seen it before. It should feel at home among my Johnson outboards. Furthermore: it runs very well. Any idea how old it is? Kristian J Sweden

    Propeller rotation

    I have never given this a thought, but now I have to. <br />Why have some motors clockwise rotation and other the opposite?

    Seahorse 10 hp cowl design

    1959 was the year when they changed the design to white and sharp edge modern type. <br />Are there anyone who like the new style. <br />Or is it just from the 50-year distance I like the old style unit.

    manual for my 10 hp -58 Johnson

    I can't find a workshop manual for my 10 hp -58 Johnson. Now you say: easy, buy a Seloc.<br />These manuals covers 1.5 to 130 hp from -51 to -98 ( or something like that.) Obviously they must be quite thick and heavy (Postage!) and expensive.<br />But I want a manual just for my outboard! (OK, I...

    All two-stroke oil are the same!!

    Or maybe not?? <br />Snowmobile, chainsaw etc. demand their special oil. At least that's what the company says.<br />So I run all my two-strokes on Shell Racing two-stroke oil. <br />Why? <br />Well, it smells good and if my racing go-cart did survive the punishment, all other two-stroke must...

    To start a V-50 -58 manually and survive.

    To start my -58 10 hp Seahorse I have to apply a good pull. The engine has obviously compression. If it is necessary to give it 15 to 20 yanks every time, I have to start visit the gym. <br />But how is it possibly to start a Johnson V-50 without getting a heart attach. In the brochure from -58...

    Rubbish about "Marine" oil

    I made a search to find anything about gear oil and there was a lot of opinions. <br />1. Companies sometimes pretend to have their own oil to their own outboard and it costs twice as much. I guess this is rubbish. Under the label there are maybe another label, for instance "Mobil" or...

    Overgrown forum

    "Do not post repair related questions in this forum" are we told. Yes, it's a non-repair forum.<br />BUT<br />I think the "Johnson & Evinrude Outboard Troubles/Repair" forum has become to big. There are 32900 topics and 165346 posts this very moment and it's a tidal wave of topics and posts. <br...

    Johnson without spark

    My Johnson Seahorse 10 Hp -58 (QD 19) has no spark.<br />Before I dive under the flywheel, are the any other possibly spots to investigate. Is that rubber pushbutton below the jet adjustment a stop button? Does the motor have to be in neutral to be started?<br /><br />Mr Jonsson

    Is this the right forum?

    Today I got the Johnson 10 hp home.<br />Model QD19 serial no 247276. Is it a 1958 model? <br />But is this the right forum for old iron? Doesn't most of you want to talk about modern 100+ hp super motors instead of old clunkers?<br />Are there an "vintage" or "classic" site somewhere that I am...
