    1995 Johnson 15hp

    If the plug wires are backwards usually it will backfire. The other expert told you to check the wires from the power pack. Blue is for the top coil green is for the bottom coil make sure that is correct. Most likely it's fuel related because it sat. What carburetor rebuild kit did you buy...

    Scraped bottom

    Pretty sure I didn't say "sharpen it so you can fillet fish" just file it down to get rid of any burrrs Mostly you just want to make sure it's still balanced.

    1991 Johnson 8hp tiller shifting

    My approach is different because there kids.... Everyone fixes it together and then teach them how to change the gear oil. (Every year) I'm guessing it's destroyed.

    1991 Johnson 8hp tiller shifting

    Most outboards when not running you will need to spin the prop while shifting. When mine went out it started screeching. Opened it up, found the balls, greased them so they would stay in place and that gearcase is still running today. I have a backup waiting on the wings. OMC small motor...

    1986 Johnson 6.5hp Questions

    You can certainly hope but probably a dirty carb. I showed someone once what a dirty carb looked like and the couldn't tell that it was dirty. Doesn't take much.

    1991 Johnson 8hp tiller shifting

    Shift shaft drops from the power head by doing nothing. No shaft adjustment with those outboards. Remember what gear its in. (Forward, naturel or back) I recommend pump kit or impeller based upon inspection, the seals in the pump, and remove the plastic cap below the water pump housing and...

    Air silencer cover

    I think your fine without it and if it's running fine it proves it. It's called an air box(no filter) we called it "the splash box" back in the day. Sound less "throaty" with it on.

    1991 Johnson 8hp tiller shifting

    I purchased that same motor brand new in 1991/2 Ran it hard today! Are you trying to shift that while it's off? If it's not shifting while running, remove the gearcase guys and replace or lube up the balls. Make sure there's no water in there first.

    Telltale on lower unit?

    Just because water is coming out of those holes means it's everywhere. Shoot the top of the heads/head with an IR gun.
