    Johnson 90 hp a weird one

    Hit the wake and slowed down. Hmmm. Junk in tank? Fuel pickup screen might be clogged. Install a spin on Racor filter and remove screen from pick up tube. Typically when you have that situation the primer ball is collapsed. What I analyzed, went south after hitting wake, then slowly got better.

    Something real flat, 220 sandpaper on it. Figure eight patterns with the head until it's all shiny. Real easy

    1972 25hp evinrude water over flow issue

    No, no need or do not glue on head gasket. True up head, install but like what was stated, that is not your problem.

    1981 70 Johnson. How to manually raise motor...

    Spray it with whatever your corrosion breaker is and heat it with a hair dryer. Use a hand impact screw driver to brake it free. Watch a YouTube video.

    1972 25hp evinrude water over flow issue

    Yeah, I know.... but it's flowing so well it looks like it. My guess is that the blocks metal components are salted out and forming leaks. This motor is coming to its end.

    Idle issues

    Try a little tranny fluid, kerosene or what I call Pearl oil. And don't laugh, way before seafoam this was the trick.

    1994 112 johnson special, blown cylinder? What now?

    Part it out....get an account with eBay and sell it to someone in fiji. Then fly there and personaly hand them the parts. Some motors are meant for stew!

    Have you ever seen this?

    2 acre pond? I'd leave the pond for canoers and go find a real lake. Preferably somewhere near the big city, let that smoke billow up into the air there keep it out of the ponds.
