    Mystery small Johnson 65? 6hp?

    Yes, someone attached a square steel piece to it, I think I will augment it a bit, extend it forward to make it easier to use.

    Mystery small Johnson 65? 6hp?

    Bought a decent Prop etc, motor runs great, love it. The only problem I have is the steering is loose as can be. Is there a friction adjustment I can make?

    Mystery small Johnson 65? 6hp?

    I think the 9.5 has the stock prop and by looking it up, it is a 3 Blade 8.25x8RH. The prop itself has a stamp that says 8 1/4 x 8 1/2. My intent is to run it on my pond. It is usually just me in a 12 foot aluminum, having some fun.

    Mystery small Johnson 65? 6hp?

    I stuck it in a water barrel, shot oil in the cylinders and carbs, pulled it over a few times slow. Had spark (weakish) shot some gas/oil in the carb, started up. Hitched it to a boat gas tank and almost got it to idle. I didn't run it long, but it seems very strong. Didn't come with a prop, I...

    Hi folks, I picked up this mystery Johnson on Craigslist, I can't find any ID except the Seahorse on the cowl. Any ideas?

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    The OEM Kit worked great, took some fussing with the carb (could use a kit, I sub'd some o-rings I had) but now starts on first pull and purrs, smoother than my other one. This one has a "weedless" prop, and there is some damage in the plastic clutch. It looks like a shorter "pin" was used. But...

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    9-15-2022 Last night I took apart the fuel pump, I also found the old parts of the fuel pump I kept when I rebuilt it. Watched a few non specific videos etc. Felt confident on how I put it back together. Diaphragm was a bit saggy/stretched, but didn't look awful. Put it on the boat, starts up...

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Is it ok to run this engine (or try to) without a prop? Being engaged all the time makes it tough to work on.

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    If there is not enough compression will they work?

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    So if there is not enough compression the pump won't work? I guess that could be it.
