    8hp powerhead difference to the 6hp (1996, BJ6DREUC)

    Only difference should be carburetor and intake. By the way, I have your motor as a 1997

    Older 6hp Johnson - Oil Leak Between Upper and Lower Unit

    Racer has a point but if your not mechanical or knowledgeable in how to take it apart I would just do a pressure/vacuum test and change the gearcase oil. By they way, that's the gearcase to midsection connection and you see all kinds of things dripping out of that area. Tough little motors so...

    Older 6hp Johnson - Oil Leak Between Upper and Lower Unit

    Anyway we can see the picture? That would help. By the way those 87 are my favorite motors. They come with the manual primer and not a choke. A better way of running in a cold start situation in my humble opinion.

    Replacing starter bendix on 1990 evenrude 25 HP

    Bracket is not hard. Nut/bolt in front next to the carb. Two more plus upper throttle mount. Starter wire, pull assembly forward. You could try oiling bendix but internal starter issues could be contributing.

    Replacing starter bendix on 1990 evenrude 25 HP

    Unbolt the bracket....the starter goes with the bracket. You also have to remove the two small screws and small brackets holding the throttle rod assembly. Somewhat obvious as you start the removal process.

    Not sure anyone is going to be able to answer that. Every area has different deals and different models used. Best I can say is pick up whatever makes you happy. Best of luck!

    1988 Evinrude 90 VRO alarm at startup

    Definitely not normal, If I can remember right there's two alarms on your control box. One, which I think is constant, is an overheat and one that's intermittent, that's for low oil or low oil pressure. You need to determine which one it is. Definitely want to make sure you're getting oil. An...

    Need help!

    Did any water come out of the gearcase when you drained the oil? It still looks like 2 stroke oil to me. Has it been run in a barrel for awhile?

    No.....excess 2 stroke oil. Get her on the lake and clean her out.

    1975 Johnson 25 HP Not Running

    Running an inline fuel filter? Sounds fuel related. I'd pull that carb, clean it again and run on a portable fuel tank until you resolve the issue.

    Ready to call 911

    This video is a little better in my humble opinion....shows how to make the brush holder while you assemble. Saves the cost of buying one plus the other guy didn't explain or aline it properly. Cheers

    1976 6 hp Evinrude "slipping or over reving" coming up on throttle.

    More of a cap than a nut but whatever.

    1976 6 hp Evinrude "slipping or over reving" coming up on throttle.

    I'm not aware of any "prop nut".... should be a shear pin and a cotter pin. I'm betting internal gear assembly issue or two old fat guys in an overloaded 14 ft boat shooting birds might have to do something with it! 😜 Might be time for a bigger motor.
