    Surging at throttle and does not like low throttle

    I just recently started having a problem with my 1982 25hp tiller Evenrude. It will start when doing the cold start procedure, but dies shortly after pushing the choke in.

    Pilot Shaft

    Hi guys. This is my first iBoats post. I have been trolling the site for a while, and you all give some great advise. I have a 1982 johnson 25hp tiller motor model J25RLCNB. Just bought it a few months ago. Runs strong, but has one issue. The pilot shaft is broken at the very top. It appears...
