    1981 Johnson 60HP lower unit question.

    So looking for a correct gear mesh pattern works as well, is what your saying.

    Slight motor knock

    Seems like more metal than I'd like to see. How long since you last drained and refilled to have cleaned that magnet? 85PSI seems a little on the low side to me. I wonder if that's piston slap and it's just like you said worn out?

    1981 Johnson 60HP lower unit question.

    So I have been looking around, reading. I see lots of what look like gauges for the $300 OMC tool and some other flat bar looking tools on eBay. But I haven't seen the exact procedure and tool for this series of engines. Does anyone have a picture, video or written description of setting this...

    2 stroke to 4 stroke

    Like said unless there is an O2 sensor or some other emissions stuff I would just run two stroke in it. I dump old two stroke in my old Chevy with a small block Chevy in it. Doesn't care one but. And helps lube uper cylinders and stuff. If you are really cheap drain half of it out and fill with...

    Slight motor knock

    If it's a knock from rods it would get louder with RPM or show up also at higher RPM but that's my opinion as what I think you would see.

    Can a 6hp impeller work on a 9.5 1967?

    I would buy parts for the motor your working on. Are the parts not available, is that why your trying to substitute things? Or do you just have the parts your asking about laying around?

    1955 evinrude fastwin 15 water in gear oil

    Yep put the screw seal/washer on and run it. It needs a seal for a reason. But if you just had a little bit of water there is no problem enjoying the motor with fresh oil over the weekend. Just check each evening to see how much water comes out. Sounds like it will just be a few drops . Gear oil...

    Water temp warning ?

    Pull the thermostat and make sure they are functioning. Is this motor used in salt water? I would take an infrared temp gun with me. Pull the motor hood, run it till it goes off and then get down to idle and shoot the head to see actual temp and confirm it's actually overheating. I ask if it's...

    1981 Johnson 60HP lower unit question.

    I'm continuing my education and learning how to rebuild lower units. Doing one for a buddy for a boat I use to own and sold him. It has a bad lower unit. I had one laying around the house they tore up when I owned it. I am going to use what's good in each one and then buy what I need to make...

    Salt water buildup 9.9 / 15

    I think some people called them channel cats. Certainly not saying there the same ones. Common names are all over the place too. Someone may just have started that cause they looked like the fresh water channel cat

    Salt water buildup 9.9 / 15

    Yea but your way out to get into salt. I grew up on the coast there were salt water cats too. I don't think with a motor that small they left the Mississippi from fresh and went to the salt way out there

    What is this wire for?

    Sometimes folks have no sense? You can't make sense of what some people do sometimes.

    What is this wire for?

    I am no expert like the others but when I saw it I was surprised to see he said it was an 88 I thought it was early 80s myself. Y'all confirm what I was thinking

    What is this wire for?

    What brand of 2 stroke oil do you use for your Johnson Evinrude 2 stroke

    I'm going to get my drink and snack and settle in for one of the most hotly debated topics on any forum for anything with an engine. Nothing gets folks commenting and legitimately angry like a good oil debate!

    What brand of 2 stroke oil do you use for your Johnson Evinrude 2 stroke

    He heated it up, I don't know what the actual temperature was but it was on a hot plate in a coffee pot and he used the infrared thermometer on it. It's just been a few years since I watched the video I watched.

    1973 Evinrude 25hp wire harness plug repair.

    You right. I did even mention I was going to use automotive (and probably same on new motors I just don't have anything super new) style waterproof connectors, the kind with the silicone gasket on the plug and wire. I just decided against it.

    What brand of 2 stroke oil do you use for your Johnson Evinrude 2 stroke

    I believe it's the percentage of synthetic in there? I personally like a semi synthetic. Synthetic I have read drys out more like in storage, like on internals. I don't run my boat weekly so I would rather have the conventional at least base there to make sure there is a film on things for not...
