I have an issue with my engine. First off it is rediculously difficult to start initially then it runs like a champ. I can fish for hours and starts right up but just the initial start sucks. The other problem is when sitting on trailer and engine down gas and oil just run out of it. I decided...
So my engine when off has 2 stroke oil running out of it. When I start it smokes very bad and will clear up after a few minutes. The oil is purple like it is straight out of can when I drained carbs they were full of about 50 50 mix oil gas like I said though when running runs well. I know...
Anyone know where I can find a document that will have all of the parts listed for a 1996 Johnson Fast Strike Outboard? I just got the boat and wanted to do a little maintenance and not sure if I am ordering the right parts.
Thanks,

I have had this problem since I got the boat. I originally thought it was my bellow because it leaked. That is now fixed and I sealed the mating surface of the upper and intermediate housings with permatex #2. I recently resealed the lower unit shaft seals and installed 3 new o-rings where the...
I recently got a new shaft from eBay and a new prop from iboats Solas 8812-143-21 which says is for 275 long shaft and my gap is in the back not the front. Anyway I have a half inch gap between the prop and the zinc. The old shaft in the 275 I had was the short shaft. Anyway the only thing I can...
I recently got a new shaft off ebay because I bent my old one. Once I got the shaft, I noticed that the area after the threads and the spline is a half an inch longer than my old one, which was already set up for the long hub prop. Can you point me in the right direction on what spacer I need...
I got a new shaft on eBay and need to replace my prop shaft seals because I bent my shaft. Anyway i have the shaft out of the coupling and how do I get the old seals out they are seals in? How do you put the new ones in correctly and my book says to use sealing compound what kind?
Thanks

I have a 19ft Bayliner with an AQ225E and 275 Stern drive. The boat idles nicely but as soon as i give it some gas in the water it starts backfiring I imagine through the carb because I here it pop. I recently replaced coil, wires and plugs. Rotor and cap fine. I also replaced fuel filter...
I have a aq225e with a 275 out drive. The prop on it now is a c851138. Does the c mean counter rotating? I know it's a 14x21 but don't know the rotation. Also what is the target rpm and if it is running high rpm do I up pitch or diameter? Not sure what it runs at yet because I have to fix the...
AQ225E: Can I replace the coil installed that has an external resistor Sierra 18-5434 with a coil with internal resistor 18-5436 and get rid of the external resistor?
Thanks
I have a volvo AQ225. I have a question about spark plugs that you use. In the boat I bought it had ac43mt plugs in it which a shop manual says to use. All websites say the boat gets a champion RV15YC4. The problem is the electrode sticks out about 1/8 inch longer. Do you use these plugs...
I recently bought a boat with aq225e engine. I need new spark plugs and bought some champion rv15yc4, which it says is the plug on any site. When taking out the old plug it was a ac r43t which is a lot shorter from end where hits block to the end of the plug by like an 1/8 of an inch. My...
