    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    I know it’s sounds crazy but use the hand impact to tighten just a hair to try and break the grip. Like try to tap and twist forward and backwards.

    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    If I’m not mistaken there is a detent on the primer valve and having the primer valve pulled out just a bit would let a bit of extra fuel in. Kinda of like having a choke plate partially closed on a very cold start sorta of day. If the extra fuel helps I would still be looking for blockage...

    Water Pump

    If your going to run in a barrel the water needs to be at least 6” above the pump. The pumps are not self priming.

    Hard starting

    Sorry but I have to ask. Are you squeezing the ball to prime the fuel line and does it go hard? If so I would be looking at the primer itself to verify it’s working.

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Yea sorry about that. It was meant to say timing light. You did the right thing. When you asked about the running light I was so confused then realized I was the one that cause the confusion.

    1958 Evinrude 18hp piston part number cross reference

    Racerone’s advice is worth’s its weight in gold. I to have heard that Wisconsin is a great place for good used outboard parts and that they plentiful.

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Post #47 is where your at now. I would say before you go any further try and find a machine shop that is willing to do this work for you. It’s getting harder and harder to find anyone interested anymore. Best

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Yes you will need to completely remove the power head. It can be done by hand if your young and strong. If you have a tree close by you could use a come along or block and Tackel. There are many ways to do this. Your question about removing just the cylinder is a bit concerning. I feel like you...

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Crank down on that puller bolt and give it good hard/sharp wack with a heavy hammer.

    1974 Johnson seahorse 4hp weedless running strong, then randomly dies out and takes a lot to start.

    If tank doesn’t vent it will not provide fuel. It will become vacuum locked. If you cant get the vent open then open the cap a bit and see what happens.

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    I can’t remember if it was mentioned but have you tried running with a running light hooked up to see if your dropping a cylinder from time to time?

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Yea if bogging is more a problem than the surging then it may not be the hub. But it’s a free test and you can check it off your trouble shooting list when your done. Best of luck

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Just for kicks mark your prop and hub take her for run and see if the marks are still aligned. You may have a spun hub that is slipping.

    1988 Evinrude 120 V4 -Suddenly going into SLOW Mode at WOT. Video included

    Not that this is going to help your problem but just out of curiosity what type of tac are you going by? Maybe it’s not all that accurate.

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    It might be worth your time to use another gauge and compare the numbers. If they are still no good pulling the head and doing an inspection will tell you a lot about what’s going on.

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    Best of luck. I hope they get you up and running soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if they find the fins of the old impeller you mentioned were missing causing some blockage. Keep us posted. Best

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    What did you mean by your seeing a lot of water coming out around the pump housing? Did you have the lower off and were testing with a drill in a bucket when you saw this? Do you recall what the rest of the pump looked like when you changed the impeller? Was the wear plate and cup if it has one...
