    84 Johnson 40 HP Weak Top End/No Slow Idle

    That bottom cylinder is clearly not firing. Before you check your spark with an adjustable spark tester get some oil into that cyclinder even if it’s just WD 40. If it’s not getting fuel it’s not getting oil. Damage to that cylinder is not far behind if it’s not already been done.

    Milky Gear Oil - Now What?

    Do you replace the washers on the plugs when you check or change the oil? If not it could be as simple as that. I would at least pressure test it before doing anything else. Best of luck

    25 HP evinrude Etech issue

    I don’t know much about the Etec motors but I would guess old fuel could be your problem. May need to clean the injectors and get some fresh fuel running though it.

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    I don’t think the West System would hold up to the heat. It would get to soft.

    Forgot to mention after you take the bolt out chase the threads with a tap so they are fresh and clean threads.

    Epoxy type to use in water jacket

    It may not last forever but use JB Weld and coat the threads with wax. If the bolt does get stuck gently heat it until it lets go. Best of luck

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    Once the bulb is hard there is no need to keep squeezing it and forcing fuel. You said the motor runs without the hose hooked up correct? If so just for kicks start it without the hose hooked up. Just when it starts to stall From running out of gas hook the hose up and see what happens.

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    This one boggles the mind for sure. What is this motor mounted on? Is it on a sail boat and your tank is higher than the motor at the moment causing a siphon maybe?

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    You mentioned old gas. Has this motor been sitting for awhile? You may need a good through carb cleaning.

    6 hp 4 stroke won’t run when connected to external tank!

    When you say the carb floods do you mean fuel comes out of it? If so your float must be sticking.

    1955 Johnson 25hp (Which ones had the bad crankcase seal?)

    Check the key in the flywheel. It may be sheared. That will cause your back fire and ripping the cord out of your hand.
