    1998 25 hp Johnson shallow drive assembly

    Hi, I've got a 98 25hp Johnson (TELEC). Normally, when I swivel the motor up a little and push the motor lock lever forward, the shallow running drive brace will come forward and I could let the motor down and it would be in shallow running drive. Now, when I do this, the shallow running drive...

    Johnson Parts Compatibility Info

    Hi, I've got a 1998 25hp J25TELECB. My starter quit so I opened it up to clean up the commutator and found that the brushes have worn out. My first thought was to buy new brushes fro ishopmarine.com ($20), but if I could find another working starter at a junk yard for a good price, I might...

    What's my motor worth?

    I'm looking to graduate from my trusty Johnson to a surface drive motor (mud motor) for duck hunting. If I were to sell my motor, what do you think it would be worth? 1998 Johnson 25hp, tiller handle, electric start, long shaft (i think). Starts quick, idles well, wide open runs well, and...

    25 hp won't crank, just clicks, even after I cleaned connections

    I've got a 98 model 25 hp. My top starter bolt hole (where it bolts to the block) cracked and so I had a welder fill the old cracked hole and drill and tap a new hole - all went well. Problem: When I bolted the starter back on, and reconnected the electrical lines, nothing happened when I...

    When did OMC stop making Johnson?

    Honda BF 25 or Johnson 25?

    Hi,<br />I own a Seark 1548 duck boat with a '98 25hp Johnson. I was pondering the idea of getting a newer model Honda 25 horse. <br /><br />Can anyone tell me what the differences will be besides the amount of noise they will make? Differences in power, etc...? My Johnson runs really good...

    Don't know what this is....

    Aight, I am feeling pretty stupid...<br /><br />I am trying to figure out what this part is.<br />It consists of two peices of metal on either side of the lower unit (25 hp johnny), just above the prop. They are joined by a bolt that goes through the lower unit from one side to the other. The...

    Which service manual - Seloc or other?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me which service manual to buy. I have a 1998 25hp Johnson. The Seloc brand manuals seem to be easier to find online, but I thought it might be better to have the blue-colored Johnson/Evinrude. I don't know. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    '98 Johnson 25hp misses at high RPMs

    I need some expert advise. <br />I have a 1998 25hp Johnson two stroke electric start. It runs just fine at all RPM's except when it's wide open. At WOT, the engine sounds like it's missing about once every second. If I let off the throttle just a hair, it runs smooth, and when I go back to...
