Hello all,
I have Been following this forum for about a year since buying my 1967 Johnson Super Seahorse 33hp from a guy last spring. I have used the FAQ section of this website for all my basic questions and it has helped me a ton.
About August last year my engine started to develop a very hard knock or miss when under acceleration or when running at high speeds. The whole motor kicks about 2" and the boat lunges like you just ran up on a sand bar at high speed. Over the fall it got progressively worse and now does it anytime above idle speed and it does it about once every 10-15 seconds. It is a loud enough knock you can hear it from 300-400 yards away on shore. Any ideas on what this may be and where to begin fixing this?
I also need to replace my throttle and gear cables that run from my steering column back to the motor. Late last fall the gear cable broke at the linkage to the motor and I had to tape it up for one last trip. Any idea where I could find a set of these for a 67'?
Thanks for any help.
