    Yeah.....sounds like a fire hazard too. No glass filter housing for me thanks. Don't you just love memories like that, I don't think anyone's "Mama" would allow that today!

    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.

    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.
