    Fuel pump and tuning issues 1962 28hp seahorse

    Tested the boat today for the first time .The motor ran quite well but wouldn't rev out, if we backed the throttle off a little bit the motor seemed to rev a little better. So we adjusted the high speed needle using the knob and got the best results with the adjustment at full lean setting, but...

    Motor cover seal (0313173 )

    I put the cover on the motor for the first time since getting the motor (1962 28hp rx-10) and its very lose. Its looks like I?m missing a rubber seal (part 0313173) which is no longer available. Just wondering if there is anything that I could use that would make the cover sit on the motor...

    Ideal transom height for 1962 28hp short shaft

    I have brought a 13ft aluminum boat which has had the transom cut down to accommodate a short shaft motor .I haven't tried the motor on the boat yet, as the motor is stored at work, but rough measurement seem to indicate that the transom height of 16.5" will be a little bit too high to...

    Weight of older tinnies

    I'm looking at getting an older type tinny as they seem to be cheaper and of a better quality than the newer boats. One restriction I have is the towing capacity of my car is 500kg unbraked. I'm trying to find out the approximate weight of some of the older tinnies (4.2m Quintrex Fishabout MkII...

    Link and sync 1962 28hp johnson

    I’m trying to understand how to link and sync this motor. I have tried to do this but can’t get the scribed line on the cam and pointer to line up before the roller engages the throttle butterfly. It’s as if the throttle rod that’s connected to the throttle arm over rides the roller and cam and...

    Drive shaft oring size

    I removed the lower unit of my 1962 28hp Johnson outboard and there didn?t appear to be any oring on the top of the drive shaft. The manual states that an oring is too placed on top of the drive shaft when reinstalling the lower unit. I?m assuming that it doesn?t go on the very top of the shaft...

    I brought a carby kit and installed it. I primed the fuel lines before trying to start the engine and fuel leaked from the front of the carby. I'm not sure is some leakage is normal? I started the motor and it seemed to be running very rich with the low speed adjustment knob having no effect on...

    I have to replace the impellor and was wondering if it's at all possible to remove the drive shaft seal without removing the driveshaft from gearbox? I have access to lathes and milling machines so could make up a tool if needed. Regards Kevin

    1962 28hp seahose cutout switch

    Just wondering how the cutout switch that?s controlled via a diaphragm and the switch under the flywheel works. I assumed that it would cut the spark if the throttle was to far open when trying to start the motor. Once the motor had been started the crankcase pressure would cause the...

    Electric starter 1962 28hp johnson seahorse

    I would like to try and put an electric starter on one of these motors, and would like to know where you could get one from. Also if, by chance, an old motorcycle starter may fit instead. If anyone has managed to fit an electric starter, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
