    Changed fuel lines...let's start here, please elaborate.

    2000 50hp Johnson 2 Stroke will idle, then die when put in gear and will not start again

    I think I'd start by isolating the control box and jump start it at the motor and see if it runs good that way. That will eliminate the control box. Corrosion, bad wire, key switch. Look at those things first.

    Murphy's law

    I run mine out of gas except my big ones that are permanently fixed fuel lines. The trick though, is to use them and not let the gas get old. Seriously though, when I get engines and I buy quite a few, 80 percent of the time it's a carb related issue. Glad you found the issue.

    Johnson stops dead!

    No points on the motor. You will need a flywheel removal tool as well plus an alignment ring. Might need to find a buddy to help you figure out that fine motor.

    Murphy's law

    My vote is carb clean as well. Simple easy carbs. As soon as you remove the bowl that usually tells the story. Gas coming out the vent hole typically means dirty carb when priming.

    Baffled

    Gravity is off from global warming mostly caused by all the electric motors now. Really, though. If it's that much of a concern, drain, put in the right amount and study it again. Be happy it's not back to a quart over and full of water.

    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.

    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...
