    Old Johnson 115hp: How do I know if it is a 2-stroke or 4-stroke?

    Are we being punked here? But if you have any doubt just mix the gas. Absolutely won't hurt a 4 stroke! Two stroke will have a pre oil tank, a VRO pump unless it's too old for VRO and if that's the case it's 100% two stroke. A 4 stroke as said has a T belt also a filter on most probably...

    1970 25hp deceleration after run at WOT

    I'm thinking it may be over heating..but other suggestions are good like weak pump, could have a coil dropping out also when it gets hot, where you only running 1 cylinder. Once it cools it starts to fire again untill hot.

    1974 Evinrude 25hp wont run.

    I'm going to say it, quit spraying carb cleaner or eather into the cylinders. It strips the oil out of it. After all it's a two stroke.

    I would suggest a multi meter. You need to test if the motor is getting power, will let you know if there is power at the pump, to let you know if pump I'd bad or it's between the pump and switch. Switch could be bad, wire bad, maybe blown fuse. Just start at one end and work to the tank.

Is this gonna hurt anything to keep running it like this. Do i need to JB weld it back on to keep it in balance or just get a new...
