    1970 evinrude 9.5 Wont Start

    Ok - I finally got the shift linkage back together. Now that I have replaced the impeller, pulled the carb, cleaned / rebuilt it it's time to start it. I've checked the compression approx. 65 and it has spark and it's getting fuel but I get nothing - not even a sputter. No idea how long its...

    Just got a 1970 Evinrude 9.5.................

    So I just got home from picking up my model 9022C. I think this is a 1970? I got it for $100 and I'm really hoping it was a good deal. It looks to be in fair shape, the guy said it runs good but doesn't pump any water. Obviously I havent tried to start it. I did turn it over and it feels...

    Possible prop change for 1975 Johnson 6hp

    Hi all - I just got my little 6 horse running good again but I am wondering if a prop change might be beneficial for me. The prop on it is the factory 2 blade and it just won't quite plane out my 12' skiff. If I lean forward it will plane but as soon as I sit back down it drops off. Would a...

    Replaced points but no spark 1975 6hp

    Hi all - I finally got the time to replace the points on my 1975 Johnson 6. If you look back at my previous threads you'll see that I was having some major "sputtering" problems. I pulled the carb and rebuilt it (cleaned thoroughly and new kit) took it out and had the same problems. I finally...

    1975 Johnson 6 Electrical problem? Video

    Hi all - I've got this great little 6 horse that I recently got running again but I've got a new problem. It runs great for about 15-20 minutes but then it starts to "load up" and sputter real bad and gets worse as time goes on. This really only happens while in gear and the motor is under a...

    Finally got the manual

    I finally got my factory service manual for the 1975 Johnson 6 and its great. Now I still need to fix the sputtering problem. Once I run for about 15 minutes its starts sputtering real bad and only gets worse. I just had the carb off and cleaned it, checked all the passages and its like brand...

    1975 johnson 6 carb rebuild

    Hello all, So my last post was about the motor "sputtering" (if you search my username you can see the video). Anyway, I bought a carb rebuild kit that is complete with a bunch of rubber washers, gaskets and all that jazz. I'm sure there's a post on here talking about this but I didn't find...

    1956 Evinrude 15hp - should I buy?

    I'm looking to upgrade the hp on my 12' skiff (6 just isn't cutting it) Questions are: Are these motors as good as all newer Johnson / Evinrude motors? Is the weight of this older motor a factor compared to a newer model? Are the parts still readily available? I'm waiting on pics but...

    Max HP?

    I recently bought a 1979 Johnsen Skiff to match my little 6hp outboard. It works well but not near enough get up and go so I'm really looking at getting into a 15 hp. The boat is registered as 12' but actually its 11' with a tape measure. Anyone know if there's a registry that documents...

    75 Johnson 6hp misfiring? Video

    Similar post to my last one so bear with me. I took it out today and it ran fine for about 40 minutes all the way to the canal where I slowed to idle speed for about 5 minutes. Then as I come out of the canal and back up to full speed it starts sputtering (see video). Luckily I brought the...

    Johnson 6 missing or backfiring at wot?

    Yes its me again, the guy with the leaky lower unit 75 6 horse...I totally forgot to mention that when I'm running wide open it sometimes seems to have a bit of a miss, almost like little backfires. Would that be a carb issue, points, both or something else all together? I'm sure its due a...

    Lower unit leaking Johnson 6

    I just noticed a small drip of lower unit oil coming out from behind the prop on my 1975 Johnson 6hp. Just wondering if there are any tricks I need to know before I go tearing it apart. In all actuality I've never done it so if anybody can give me step by step I'd really appreciate it! Thanks...

    Motor too hot? small leak at t-stat cover

    Hello all - Still not sure if my 6 horse is running cool enough. Videos Below- I've changed the thermostat, impeller, lower unit oil and it seems to be pumping water good. There is a small leak at the thermostat cover (I'll get a new gasket soon) but the block seems awfully hot. I've read that...

    1975 Johnson 6hp.....what boat?

    Hi all - I just got my 75 6horse that I acquired from a friend of my fathers for $40 about 12 years ago (it was like new I might add) running again and now I just need the boat to put it on. I'm thinking a 12' v-hull is the way to go. Problem is I see alot more flat bottoms but I just like the...

    Johnson 6hp cooling update

    First off, thanks for all the info and help getting my 1975 6 back to running. I replaced the impeller and the thermostat and it fired up and started spitting water immediately. I let it run in the barrel for about an hour with no problems. The only concern I have is when I throttle it up the...

    Impeller direction

    I'm changing the impeller on my 75 6hp and I printed the exploded view of the lower unit off of johnson's website and I'm almost 100% sure I verified the direction the fins bend is as it shows on johnsons diagram. Just hoping someone with a little more knowledge can verify this for me. Also...

    Hi all - I'm getting itchy to run my 75' 6 horse. I have the impeller out and the wife is away tonight and I'm thinking of running by the boat store and getting the new one to give me an evening project. Question is what is the jabsco equivalent part#? The Sierra is 18-3001. Motor is a...

    1975 Johnson 6hp fresh out of storage

    Hello from a new guy. I'm extremely impressed with all the knowledge I've seen on here, you guys know your stuff. On to business, I acquired a 6R75R (Pretty sure thats a 75) from a friend for $40. Even if the thing was trash I think I did okay moneywise. I've had it for about 10 years and...
