    1979 Evinrude 35 hp Water Pump Issue

    It is possible that he didn’t have the water tubes lined up. I agree 3” is not much and you could try using a trash can. Also agree that you could take it back to the guy that obviously didn’t check his work. Best

    Temperature switch circuit 2000 Johnson 150hp

    compression numbers sound low to me but at least they are even so maybe it’s just the head gaskets that got cooked. If it were me I think it would be worth pulling the heads and having a peek at what you have.

    1958 Johnson 5.5 L/U gear advice

    Yea if you have the means of replacing them that would be best in the long haul. My concern would be chipping of the eroded areas. Just my opinion though. Best

    Unable to start and no water out the telltale

    Sorry now that I’m thinking about it you probably have the carb with the plastic top correct? For some reason I was thinking it was an 85 in which case the plug would be right on the top in plain sight. Try turning the needle out another’s 1/4 for a full 1 1/2 turns and start from there.

    Unable to start and no water out the telltale

    Thanks for the compression values. They sound ok and now that’s out of the mix. When you rebuilt the carb did you remove the welch plugs and clean the very small passages? How many turns out did you set your needles after reassembled? Sounds like your getting close.

    Building a 50's OMC powerhead, to hone or not to hone?

    To be honest I would mic the cylinders to be sure they a round and bore if needed. But if your not up for that at the very least hone them.

    Unable to start and no water out the telltale

    To much choke will flood the engine. see post #11 Compression test will tell us a lot. if you don’t have good compression you can pull that cord all day long and get nowhere.

    Enter your model number on a parts site and look at the diagram for the cylinder and crank case. Should fine it there.

    Starting fluid is not a good idea. The only oil you get is from the oil in the gas. At this point you really need to check compression.

    1985 25 hp Johnson won’t start

    Make sure you are getting fuel to the carb before going any further. don’t run it with the spray can as it has no oil in it which means your running with no oil.

    Did you rebuild the carb before or after all this started?

    '84 Johnson 90HP died in water, won't restart

    If you were pumping the ball hard and still using the primer after switching tanks you likely did flood it. Just swapping tanks is all you really need to do.

    Be sure the vent is open in the tank pump the ball until hard after you move the throttle all way to the right go back left about 1/8 turn. Goal is to move it just a bit higher than the slowest idle position. If it doesn’t fire after say 3 pulls then move the choke half way in. Goal is not to...

    I’m just wondering what your start procedure is as far as using the choke and the throttle position?

    84 Johnson 40 HP Weak Top End/No Slow Idle

    If the plug was dry then most likely it’s not getting fuel. I really think you would benefit from a complete carb job. The kit are cheap and readily available. Finding parts is not going to be a problem.
