    1991 Johnson

    Well you're a master chief petty officer and if you found out a motor you had was stolen, would you want to keep it or go knock the snot out of the guy that sold it to you? That's really the question here.

    1991 Johnson

    Naw, this is a Puget sound winter king (Blackmouth). Dna modified by some scientist/professor to stay in the sound and not ever reach sexual maturity. We call him feeders, and they rip line like hell so pound per pound maybe the best fighting fish and the salmon family. Because they never go...

    Start solenoid

    Yes, and this smoke doesn't make you happy like smoke from that "green stuff". Just pull the red plug and jump it again. This should tell which general area is the problem. Make sure you have devised away to turn it off.

    1991 Johnson

    Since the seller was dishonest, first see if the police know if it's stolen or not (could be bad juju) if it's not go through the entire motor, you don't want it to fail on the cold Michigan lake the first time you use it. Here is my retro 1978 35 with stickers that are not factory and another...

    Compression too high?

    I think it's Wisconsin or something but I've purchased from them and they were always responsive, polite and decently priced. They also answer their phone!

    Compression too high?

    Yes I agree, got outboard motor probably left the factory at about 140 tops just kind of leads to the fact that the guy doesn't know what he's talking about or has the bad gauge, either way he doesn't know what he's talking about. The reason why I asked you where you were is because I was going...

    Compression too high?

    Never buy a used outboard from Florida....at least in general. Super salty and ran all year. Best state? Like Michigan, fresh water and boating season is short.

    Older Johnson to new controls?????

    Yeah, re-read that. To clarify, did you order the wrong control? Because I thought your existing control had the wrong plugs back by your motor. Please verify.

    Lower unit shift rod wont screw back in

    And just for everyone out there, Racerone is trying to teach you how to fix motors so he gives you clues on proper procedures. The old saying give a man a fish he eats.....(Get it) So by teaching you how to fish (research, work on, make good choices) you can learn the right way and hopefully a...

    Evinrude 25hp

    I don't fully understand this line.... "I swapped my cranking battery for me 1985 25hp evinrude." With that said, to start from scratch, solid load tested battery, super clean and tested wires and connection spots (this one gets me ALL the time) and testing the solenoid like you've done...

    1991 Johnson

    Curious, if you don't have a model number how do you know it's a 1991? Trusted the seller possibly?

    Johnson 50hp swap to a Johnson 110hp Possible?

    Interpretation of direct swap can go many ways....like things that really matter and things that can be modified easily. Certainly "butting in" on another posting doesn't make sense. All of Racers answers here was good solid advice including the garden. Here is mine from last year and it was...
