    1986 Johnson 6.5hp Questions

    Upside down with snake oil for a week and then wedges until it releases or the water pump explodes. At that point there is creative ways to get the shaft out. Not fun. Or leave it alone until you start having problems.

    1987 OMC Ignition key switch locked and will not turn

    I'd you've giving up trying to repair it, stick a screwdriver in it and turn real hard. A key in an outboard is pretty much a waste of time. If they're going to steal it, they're going to steal it. I leave my boat on a buoy all summer with the keys in it.

    Impeller change level of difficulty Q

    If you don't know "hubba hubba" than you've probably never seen Mary Ann's navel. "Oh my" 🤣 To the original poster.... impellers last longer than what has been stated but follow the steps and it fairly routine. Peace of mind is worth a lot. Matt

    1987 OMC Ignition key switch locked and will not turn

    There's no lock out for that switch. Only real explanation is lock cylinder froze or key went bad. Does the key come out? If so look for a number on the key or the end of the cylinder. Try replacing the key or add graphite. Much less work. Cyclops is correct, not much clearance in that older...

    If I ask enough people, there is always somebody who would love to go on a boat ride. Time to get out and mingle!

    Impeller change level of difficulty Q

    Blockage of the tell tail doesn't mean an overheat has happened. Get your self an inexpensive IR gun and shoot the top of the head while out in the lake cruising. Safer to have two people!

    2000 70hp johnson.

    Googles mad at me because it wants some clams! (Money) Storage is gone but it finally downloaded when I cleared space but I couldn't find it. I'll try the computer later and see if that works better than the Motorola. I'll pm you on the GT....

    2000 70hp johnson.

    Google not allowing me to download.....but motor is good. 5500 RPMs with 3 in the boat and trimmed up. All warning horns working and motor is performing perfectly. It all came back to me once I dug into it more. Working on this beautiful GT 100 now. Thanks.

    That's an interesting one, will be interesting what people come up with. This assumes you thoroughly examined it and have no issues with it

    1982 7.5 hp Johnson compression numbers?

    Personally I stop using them just under 90 lbs....but what size boat you pushing? Those 80's motors are great and worth rebuilding or finding a good used power head.

    Kill Switch Problem 1986 Johnson 150 J150TXCDC

    Trying to remember this correctly but need clarification. Motor turns over but won't start? Funny thing on those or the newer ones. With mine it runs when it's clicked in and if you pull it off it dies.....but when it's off it will run. They say they do that so if something happens you can...

    If nothing is crusted up it's fairly straight forward if your mechanically fit. Must be 100's of videos online.

    Used wise, there's probably millions. What's wrong with yours? Plastic mounting holes break?

    2011 15hp HO Evinrude

    You can wait and talk with Crosby man but you can go to the etec repair website at barnacle bills and search out your model. Probably a plugged pump.
