    1978 Johnson 115 Electric Choke

    Test your switch. If it checks out look for a blown fuse or damaged wires.

    56 Johnson Javelin 30 Restoration / New to this

    For some reason I can’t get the pic of the pump to enlarge but does anyone else see a fuel line going to the pump?

    Flushing Evinrude 9.9

    I understand your situation now. I don’t think you would get the same amount of result but I don’t think it would hurt anything either. Honestly if the boat is in use daily I wouldn’t worry about that much. A fresh water rinse is good before storage but if using daily the benefit is just not...

    Unless the thermostat was open it wouldn’t get you anywhere.

    For those who know 70’s Evinrude / Johnson I have a slightly challenging question

    I’m think a bit of your time now to install the correct kit is far better than the problems you could have down the road. Especially if your on the water far from home.

    83 - 20hp-30/35 conversion

    I’m with Racerone on this one. It is an easier swap but not as convenient The primer solenoid rarely fails and when it does it’s easy to repair.

    70 HP vs 90 HP Evinrude: Which to Buy?

    Well it sounds like your transom will be capable and you have done a lot of work on this boat. In my eyes the 70 would be the way to go. They were far more reliable as far as I’m concerned. It’s really a crap shoot either way when buying an old motor. Whichever way you go give them a good going...

    70 HP vs 90 HP Evinrude: Which to Buy?

    I’m not familiar with that boat but at 15’ I’m curious if its rated for such a large motor. What is your transom hight? Is there still and info plate with H.P. rating and weight capacity with number of people? I believe racerone question was have the motors previously been used in salt or fresh...

    Help & Analysis: 1988 Johnson 6 HP 2 Stroke

    Yes the theory is the higher rpms would burn more efficiently and a create less pollution. The unburned fuel and oil in the older 2 cycle motors is for the most part the reason they are banned from use in smaller bodies of water. Just out of curiosity how much oil are you adding to your fuel...

    Johnson Kill switch

    I don’t see why not unless there is a problem with the currant key switch. If there is your problem will still be there. If your just adding a lanyard you should be ok. A better solution would be to remove your stripped out screws so you have access to your control box. It is a PITA job but...

    What am I looking at here?

    Looks like a whole in the crank case to me and I’m looking at that crank shaft but I have had a few cold ones. 🍺

    1993 Evinrude 150 Intruder compression

    I have seen them run just fine with 80 psi I’m just saying it could be a bit on the worn out side. With an even 90 across the board I would want to check again with a different gauge just to be sure.

    1993 Evinrude 150 Intruder compression

    It’s low but even. Likely a very high hour motor. It’s a gamble in my eyes. May be worth checking again with a different gauge. Best of luck

    Help & Analysis: 1988 Johnson 6 HP 2 Stroke

    Any new to you motor needs a water pump impeller at the very least so you know for sure it going to be ok and sometimes things wear out and the whole pump kit is needed. Also it’s a good idea to change the oil in the lower unit including the washers on the drain and fill plugs. Pumps are not...

    40 hp evinrude (year unknown) selectric shift model. HELP setting points and timing!

    Agreed I thought you were going to clean the carb and report back? Your finger is in the correct spot. That info was in post 32. Now move on to post 36 and see where that gets you. If you haven’t cleaned the carb then you need to do it. If that motor sat for 5 years there is no doubt there is...

    40 hp evinrude (year unknown) selectric shift model. HELP setting points and timing!

    Is this motor new to you? Was it running ok before the no spark issue? It sounds like you on the right track with the points so I’m wondering if you have other problems.
