    Notification when shipped?

    Friend ordered a prop last weekend and used the wrong address, he sent an email but there has been no response. Will there be a notification sent when the item is shipped or should I go to the wrong address and ask them if they got a prop in the mail? Canada BTW.

    10ft dinghy, 15hp johnson prop reccomendation

    What is the stock prop for a 1994 15HP johnson? I bought this motor, had it out a couple of times and I think I spun the hub. The prop is a 9.5x12.5. It performed great with just me in it @ about 425lbs total loading, was doing about 25mph, but with my friend @ about 650lbs loading the hole...

    15hp is too much for a little SIB

    After a string of disappointing under-powered or half working motors for two fat guys on a little 10ft inflatable I decided to make the jump to a 15hp motor. I took it out by myself to test the motor and at first I was wondering why it couldn't match the worn out 9.5hp I had before. After about...

    1994 15hp dies at mid throttle and up, revs to hell in neutral

    Had my new acquisition out on the water today. In neutral if you advance the throttle it sometimes blubbers but it usually revs up so fast you think it's going to blow. In gear the motor will not run at all mid throttle, low throttle to mid is working ok and I'd estimate I got maybe 4hp out of...

    1994 Johnson 15hp

    My latest acquisition. Is the motor supposed to make a whooshing noise like hoot hoot hoot when you crank it? http://i.imgur.com/j32tpGB.jpg Everything on the motor looks alright except for these head bolts which were loose and have paint coming off in areas. Is this an indication of anything...

    96 DT8C overheated?

    Here is what happened in chronological sequence. I had the motor on a test stand with the waterline about half an inch above the cavitation plate. I tried to start the motor with the choke on, the motor started, spun up to a high speed and then cut out. After repeating this several more times...

    96 suzuki dt8 or older OMC 9.9?

    Which would you go for assuming same price, because that's what I'm looking at locally; mostly old merc blue stripes and OMC's from 70's and 80's.

    Doctor we have a problem

    I guess using the old gasket and a head from a different engine block was not such a good idea. http://i.imgur.com/CVHbGcp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mh73iA2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eFM2ZG0.jpg

    Bendix rope starter binding on retract?

    Was working fine before I removed it and put it on a different head. Caused by not enough tension? The rope won't retract tight against the body but the spool is fully wound. Is there a way to increase tension without removing it from the body?

    Increased carburetion without spark advance?

    After learning about the Johnson 9.9 to 15 conversion I compared the displacement of my 9.5 and was shocked to see that it was much higher than the 9.9/15. Naturally I started thinking what would happen if I made or rigged a bigger carburetor to this motor? I know that for the 9.9 conversion...

    9.5hp carburetor revision?

    Does anyone know if there were internal changes to the carb when the 9.5 model was updated from 4 reed valves to 2? I'm rebuilding a 2 reed valve power head and I've got both a newer and older carb to play with. I think I see some damage on the low speed needle which makes the newer one...

    Johnson 9.5 gouged pistons, swapping parts.

    This is a continuation of my other thread where my motor was hard starting, had low compression, didn't reach full power, couldn't maintain rpm and then it suddenly started working fine only to have my flywheel key shear while out on the water leaving me stranded. I tore the head open and was...

    Broken 1958ish elgin 7.5hp what's it worth?

    Top cylinder has strong spark and reads 70psi dry, bottom cylinder has no spark and reads 30psi dry. The trim mechanism is missing/ mangled, everything else looks ok. I got it for free and I'm thinking of taking it to my next local AOMCI meet.

    1964 johnson 9.5 MQ-10R cam follower?

    Is this model supposed to have a plastic roller type of cam follower like older 10hp models on part number 85 in the diagram? http://i.imgur.com/RwT8IgI.jpg

    Johnson hd25 success + what material to make gasket from?

    Well it took probably over 50 hours worth of work, but I have my seized, rusted through, corroded heap of junk working, although with medium to low compression. A little cleaning of the points and re soldering the wires to the coils and now it reliably starts. Thanks for all the help guys...

    Is there a special method to rewinding these things? The spring is extremely strong and I can't turn it by hand anymore after about 3-4 turns. edit: forum software is difficult http://i.imgur.com/dqk8GiK.jpg

    Seized power heads, mixing and matching parts

    I've got two seized powerheads for a johnson hd25, what is the safest method to free the pistons and remove them for examination? Can I disconnect the pistons from the crank shaft and then hit them on the head? Once I free them, is it okay to let them scrape off the rust on the walls on the way...

    Johnson HD25 magneto plate removal

    Is there a special method for removing the magneto plate on these motors? The magnet in the center won't come off the shaft.
