    1966 Johnson 20hp questions

    sounds like the recoil needs service. If the dogs have old dried up grease on them they won’t be able to in gauge the flywheel. Pull it off and check things out.

    1975 25hp evinrude little spark

    I would pull the flywheel and have a look around. Coils could be at the end if their life. Clean the points and see where that takes you. If you decide to move forward don’t for get the do a water pump service and check or change the gear case oil.

    Flywheel And Starter Jamming Up

    It’s just like you said. Easy as that. Put the flywheel on dry as in don’t put any grease on the tapers. You can polish the tapers if needed with some 600 grit wet dry paper but you likely won’t need to.

    1979 35hp Johnson - smallest battery?

    I once took a ride in a 19’ modified Glen -L design with a 235 on it. We topped out at 104 in the off shore grand pre amateur division and brought home 1st place. It was like riding on a pice of cardboard with a motor on it. Good times.

    Do you have a custom made transom on the 12’ boat? Sounds like trouble to me.

    Johnson 70 overheating at high revs

    Looks can be deceiving! If your not sure of the impellers age it’s best to replace it. They get brittle over time. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

    With out that in place be aware of any hard reverse throttle or maybe even slowing down to quickly. I guess you could use the manual lock if you have one but I never lock mine Incase I should hit something

    70hp 1982 evinrude manual tilt very stiff

    Corrosion is a powerful thing. When was the last time the tilt/steering tube was greased? Those cylinders are big $$$.
