    Carb issue with 1969 6hp Johnson

    Hello all I want to take the carb off my 1969 6hp Johnson and clean it. Do I have to remove that recoil starter to do it? I do not have much access to the right nut on the carb. If I do need to remove it, is there a easy way to do it without uncoiling that spring inside the recoil? I've had to...

    1958 7.5HP Johnson prop

    Well I finally got back to looking at this lower unit. I was able to get it all apart. The shock absorber is a little pitted but I can't tell if the spring inside is damaged. I did notice that the pin that holds the gears in place is no longer sticking out like it should. It is flush with...

    1958 7.5HP Johnson prop

    I didn't check to see if the spark jumps the 1/4". I used one of those plug checkers you get at Auto zone that lights up and it lights up on both cylinders. I did not check that shock absorber. That will be something new to me. If memory serves me right, I have to remove the power head to be...

    1958 7.5HP Johnson prop

    I did find a bad plug and I took the plugs from a good running 1958 5hp Evinrude. I believe they use the same plug. It started up fine and ran good. I stopped and started it several times and it ran good in a barrel. I let it sit for several days and tried running it again but it started to run...

    1958 7.5HP Johnson prop

    Is the prop from a 1958 7.5hp Johnson the same as a prop from a 1958 5hp Evinrude? I'm working on a 7.5hp Johnson and it starts up and runs well in neutral and the motor revs up good when I increase the throttle but when I put it in gear, it doesn't run right. The best way to describe it is the...

    1956 15hp Johnson electric start question

    I know I will need the flywheel with the teeth and a starter. I will assume then that these parts are all interchangeable from the 18/20/25hp. Anything else that I will need to get?

    1958 Johnson 7.5hp water pump issue

    I replaced the water pump in my 1958 7.5hp Johnson. After I started it up, I noticed water coming out at the bottom of head on the back left at the base and also noticed no water coming out where it should. I plug that hole with my finger and water came out where it should. I haven't seen this...

    1958 7.5hp Johnson water pump replacement

    I need to replace the water pump in a 1958 7.5 Johnson. Doesn't that lower just drop off when you take those 4 bolts off? This one comes down about an inch and stops and seems hung up on something and I do not want to force it off. Do I need to take the power head off to replace this pump...

    1969 6hp Johnson stalling

    Hello All I have a 1969 6hp Johnson that hadn't run in a couple of years. Last week I put it in a barrel and after a few pulls it started up and ran well in neutral and in gear and the water pump was working. I let it run in gear for 15 minutes with no issues. I did have the cover off the...

    1950 3hp Evinrude

    I have a older Evinrude with the model 4423, at least that is what I can read. I think it is about 3hp from 1950. It has good spark and about 70 psi in both cylinders but it won't start. I have had it sputter, for a lack of a better word, but stalls out. I'm think the issue is in the carb and it...

    Elgin question

    Any Elgin fans out there? I recently picked up an older Elgin with this number stamped on it, 401-41041. I believe it to be late 40's and about 3hp? I want to remove the mid section and lower end from the power head. I removed about 8 screws below the power head but it doesn't drop off. I've...

    '51 Johnson does not run smoothly

    I have a 1951 5hp Johnson. It starts up fine and will run fine for a few minutes then it won't keep the same speed. That is it won't keep the constant RPM's no matter where I put the throttle. It will slow down then back up on it's own, run well for a minute or so and repeat. I have cleaned the...

    3.3hp Evinrude

    I have a 3.3hp Evinrude from the late 40's. The serial number is 4423-82767 and looking up the year for this tells me this number ranges from 1947-1950 but no specific year. This needs a flywheel and I'm wondering if the flywheels are interchangeable. That is will one from 1947 fit in one from...

    TN-27 5 hp motor fluctuation issues

    I was given this motor, TN-27 that was not starting. I think it is from 1951. I got it running. It starts up easy and idles nice and will run good at high speed but the one problem I have is that after it has run for a few minutes the motor speed fluctuates on its own. That is the speed of the...
