    1964 Johnson JW-19M Restoration project

    In my eyes if your going to keep it do what ever you want. But if you plan to sell it I would keep it the original color. It can mean a lot to someone looking for a period correct motor.

    Johnson trim/lift assist cylinder

    My socket is plastic and just pops off with a flat head. I see you have a Canadian model so I can’t be of much help. I would guess your socket had an c clip in it and should just pop off by prying on it but as rusty as it is it may not survive.

    Johnson trim/lift assist cylinder

    So on my 02 model there are two flats on the top to remove the cylinder. They are small flats and there may be a special tool but in a pinch it looks like you could get a pipe wrench on it.

    Johnson trim/lift assist cylinder

    I think once you remove the ball and socket you can remove an e ring then drive the pin out. I have one on my 40 hp I’ll take a closer look tomorrow and see if it looks to be serviceable. The parts should still be available.

    1986 Johnson 30 water pump

    Is that 100% the correct impeller? The fins look a bit short to me but it could just be the photo. Do you have the old impeller? Is it the same?

    New evenrude

    I remember something about the 85 was meant to be a 125 but there was a problem with the manufacturing of the block so the 85 was borne. I recall it being a power house. That was a long time ago. I could be very wrong about this.

    Correct prop for mid-60's 18HP Johnson?

    You will need to do a little research with your model number. You may find one here on IBoats.

    86 Johnson 28 Surging

    I’m not sure how I missed that. You did say it has a new prop. So how about the mounting hight? It does sound like it’s catching air and that could be because it mounted to high.

    86 Johnson 28 Surging

    Sounds like your prop is slipping. Or you may be right about it not being mounted at the correct hight. The cavitation plate should be inline with the lowest point if the hull. If it is then check for a spun hub in the prop.

    40HP Johnson Tilt/Trim

    Put an add in the wanted section of Craigslist. A buddy of mine picked one up for $25.00 doing that. I have also heard that the smaller of the 2 CMC units will work for a 40hp even thought they are rated for max 35hp. I guess their web site even states this. Best of luck

    1969 20hp Johnson sea horse high revs with no propulsion when accelerating

    In most cases it’s very hard to spin a prop with a shot hub by hand. Thats why it’s only slipping at high rpms.

    Broken 1985 Johnson 200 GT

    Your goals are impressive and it’s a shame there are not more people that think like you in the world. Good things will happen to good people. All the Best on your project.

    Broken 1985 Johnson 200 GT

    That’s some great advice. Unless of course your up for the challenge have a somewhat local machine shop available to you and have the time to tear it down and start over. Maybe that’s what your into. Best of luck what ever you decide.

    1997 Evinrude v4 115 "insufficient fuel flow" alarm?

    The tank vent can cause a fuel deficiency. Im not saying that it was the problem but yes it is a possibility. When the vent is closed it can’t pull fuel after all the air in the tank is gone.

    Agreed. Did you know if they hit something in the water?

    1964 Johnson JW-19M Restoration project

    That kind of grime is an excellent preservative😂. It seems to prevent corrosion and paint oxidation. It sounds like this is going to clean up nice. Please come back with some pics when your done. Best.

    understanding idle on 1971 Johnson 50 hp

    Those fumes will indeed cause you problems. As for your idle as you know the throttle plate remains closed until about 1/4 throttle maybe a bit less at which time timing start to advance as well. Under the welch plug there are 3 tiny holes that let fuel in to mix with a preset amount of air...

    76 Evinrude 15Hp

    Sorry got tied up. How did you make out? Not sure about ohm range numbers off the top of my head. Swapping coils to see if no spark follows is just a quick check. If it were me and this motor has not had any maintenance I would just pull the flywheel and replace everything and start fresh...
