    Why Is My Battery Post Hot

    I'm putting a rig away for a friend and noticed his battery connection on the negative side is extremely poor. The ring terminal is basically sitting against the post. In addition, I found that when I run the starter the negative battery post gets unbelievably hot. In fact, today I got a...

    Hi. I am working on a 1961 Johnson 40 hp, model and serial unknown. I mistakenly removed the pivot pin from the lower gear case thinking it was the drain plug and I cannot get it back in place. Should I be able to get it back in without opening up the gear case? Any hints or tips? Thank you, J

    Nissan 9.8 4-stroke Carburetor

    Working on a new-to-me Nissan 9.8 hp 4-stroke. Not sure of the year. The model is NSF9.8A3 3V2-1. It's very clean and hasn't run in a couple years. Last few times out the owner complained of erratic and rough running. They thought it might have had some bad fuel and that the carburetor...

    1964 5.5 Carburetor Rebuild

    I am working on a 1964 Evinrude 5.5 Fisherman. Nice motor. Purrs when it runs. It is not getting fuel past the carburetor.

    2004 Johnson 6 hp Water Flow Through Carburetor - Design Intent

    I have a 2004 Johnson 6 hp that is not peeing through the tell-tale hole. In tracing the problem, I found the water line routed through the carburetor.
