    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Yes you will need to completely remove the power head. It can be done by hand if your young and strong. If you have a tree close by you could use a come along or block and Tackel. There are many ways to do this. Your question about removing just the cylinder is a bit concerning. I feel like you...

    Crank down on that puller bolt and give it good hard/sharp wack with a heavy hammer.

    1974 Johnson seahorse 4hp weedless running strong, then randomly dies out and takes a lot to start.

    If tank doesn’t vent it will not provide fuel. It will become vacuum locked. If you cant get the vent open then open the cap a bit and see what happens.

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    I can’t remember if it was mentioned but have you tried running with a running light hooked up to see if your dropping a cylinder from time to time?

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Yea if bogging is more a problem than the surging then it may not be the hub. But it’s a free test and you can check it off your trouble shooting list when your done. Best of luck

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Just for kicks mark your prop and hub take her for run and see if the marks are still aligned. You may have a spun hub that is slipping.

    1988 Evinrude 120 V4 -Suddenly going into SLOW Mode at WOT. Video included

    Not that this is going to help your problem but just out of curiosity what type of tac are you going by? Maybe it’s not all that accurate.

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    It might be worth your time to use another gauge and compare the numbers. If they are still no good pulling the head and doing an inspection will tell you a lot about what’s going on.

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    Best of luck. I hope they get you up and running soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if they find the fins of the old impeller you mentioned were missing causing some blockage. Keep us posted. Best

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    What did you mean by your seeing a lot of water coming out around the pump housing? Did you have the lower off and were testing with a drill in a bucket when you saw this? Do you recall what the rest of the pump looked like when you changed the impeller? Was the wear plate and cup if it has one...

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Agreed with above. Has the water pump been serviced since you bought it. That’s always the first step to a new to you motor if it’s age is unknown.

    Engine will not stay running without choking

    Luke 84 You would be better off staring your own post. Talking about 2 different motors on the same post is gets confusing. Thx

    Engine will not stay running without choking

    I once watched a guy spray the outside of the carbs down and explained to me he was doing a carb cleaning because it wasn’t running well.

    1991 20HP Evinrude no acceleration

    Yep that’s what a spun hub looks like. They can be repaired but it’s likely not going to save you a ton of money. Glad you finally got this resolved.

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    If you were getting water out of the tell tail while on the hose it’s not likely that’s where the problem lies. The tell tail passages don’t circulate through all the water passages. First check to be sure the pump service was done properly and the key is in place. If you wanted you could drop...

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    Agreed if it was missing fins they are properly jammed up somewhere. The hose pressure may have been enough to push water to the pisser.
