    optional engine cover for 1971 Johnson 50

    Agreed I didn’t detect any sarcasm there or making fun of you. I think he was just saying you like to know where people are so you can help lead them in the right direction. That what I got from it anyway. Best

    97 johnson 200 Throttle body help

    They could have stocked their shelves with new old stock as well. I have seen adds for dealers In my area going out of business or already did some time ago selling off old stock. That could be a question to ask your supplier as well.

    97 johnson 200 Throttle body help

    Do you recall what the packaging looked like when you bought them? Any chance they have been sitting on a shelf for the past 20 years drying out? Just a thought.

    It’s ok that’s it flush. You would only weld the inside of the nut to the broken bolt basically making it a bolt again. It works well and as I say the heat from welding helps with removal.

    How are the cylinder walls? Can you get by with just honing them? If so try welding a nut to the broken head bolt to remove it. Just set a good fitting nut over the bolt and weld the inside of the nut to the broken bolt. The heat created will aid in the removal as well.

    J120TLLCA - Technical question about reverse issues and "ok" clutch dog.

    Can’t say for sure but it looks like there may be some chipping on the gears. If you still have the old gear oil run a magnet through and see what you find. Maybe a chip was hanging you up from hitting reverse. It happens to my knees all the time.

    Low speed, 25hp bucks like mule

    If it were me I would start with rebuilding the carb, check for good clean spark, water pump service and check or replace gear case oil.

    Low speed, 25hp bucks like mule

    Contaminated fuel, tank vent closed or not working properly has the carb been cleaned? Is this motor new to you?

    Johnson 115 ocean pro running on one cylinder

    Seems maybe your 4th plug is fouling out. You have spark but how strong is it on that cylinder. You may be passing more fuel than needed in that cylinder as well. Keep digging

    hard to start when warm

    If it runs fine when you get it going it could just be your starting procedure. If you seeing unburned fuel you may be holding the key in to long. Just try starting it by turning the key first and if it doesn’t kick off then push the key in for a second.

    Can you weld a broken tiller arm gear 1983 15hp Evinrude

    I can think of a couple ways to go about this but the welding option would be to drive the pin out and remove the gear. Then bevel the rod ends and weld it back together and drill the pin hole again. Best of luck

    Overcharging Evinrude

    See if you can keep it running by squeezing the bulb on the fuel line. If so then inspect the fuel delivery. Rebuild or replace the fuel pump if needed.
