    1977 35 hp not pumping

    Not sure where your at but before putting the lower unit on id blast that thing out with water everyway I could. I'm thinking it's from paper wasps.

    Johnson stops dead!

    Could be the coil under the flywheel.... My rule of thumb, buy oem first if it's available and cost is okay, Sierra next and then CDI or nos/eBay. Many agree with this strategy. Let us know how it goes.

    1977 35 hp not pumping

    Compression check....pull the head, pray its a gasket.

    1977 35 hp not pumping

    Smoke or steam? Blown head gasket, crack in block? Does the paint on the head looked discolored from an overheat? Water going up and out of the motor doesn't mean it traveling where you need it to go not to mention the hose test probably means nothing. You would have to duplicate pressure and...

    1977 35 hp not pumping

    Any water shooting out the two exhaust holes when running? Is the head getting to hot? If not thermostat should be next on your list.

    1977 35 hp not pumping

    What gasket are you referring to? Also, are you spinning the driveshaft counter clockwise?

    1986 johnson 90hp no spark

    Sounds like a bad wire....you had no spark, disconnected a wire, spark, hooked the wire back up and you still have spark. Corrosion. Not equally on all 4 plugs? Are you doing a spark jump test on them?

    Johnson stops dead!

    Not sure if your getting OEM or not, but if you aren't, I'd think about that one. Might just be me though....last week I just purchased 2 brand new ignition coils for my 85 30hp even though they were working. Coils lose "energy making abilities" when they get older and just like the power pack...

    Johnson stops dead!

    How do you know it's an 83? Can you post a picture link? Pull up you picture and hit the share button....that's an option. If not or whatever your part number comes up with 582452 or 0582452. New ones (OEM) are $87.68 and that's the cheapest or 3 kinds, sierra and CDI. At that price I wouldn't...

    Hello everyone, I am new here and have a question?.

    It's actually the top of the block...lots online about it. I'll try and find it for you.

    Johnson stops dead!

    Peeing means nothing. Thermostat or maybe you sucked something up. Alarm working properly? Once you rule that out we can move on to a possible fuel problem.

    Johnson stops dead!

    My guess is you overheated it....vapor locked maybe. Either way it's probably cooked. Is this a remote or a tiller motor?

    1985 Johnson 150 idle surge

    Surging is typically a fuel issue so your not out of the woods diagnostic wise. Past owner said piece of grass? Compression check before spending anymore time on this engine.

    1985 Johnson 150 idle surge

    Sounds like it started to idle correctly right at the end. Anyhow, did you do a compression check before purchasing it? If so post those numbers.

    AMS Oil 75W90 or Evinrude Lower Unit Gear Oil

    60 year old outboard....need I say more? You just want it to be marine grade at this point.

    1998 Evinrude 90 SPL WORTH

    My opinion...it kinds smells, that being said if you have the time and the knowledge check it out. Also, asking price isn't always the buy price. If time is money to you, do the lower offer before you go. Isn't yours the 88 SPL? Either way, it's called rolling the dice.

    No shut off

    I'm thinking rpm drop is because your dropping one bank and the other power pack is not cutting off. Figure out which one it is and replace it or swap them and see if the problem follows.
