    1989 Johnson 25hp

    Hey guys, my 1989 Johnson outboard is having problems. I had fuel delivery problems, so I rebuilt my carburetor. Now, it idles amazing, and can reach high revs in neutral, but sort of with a rapid backfire, but when I go to accelerate in gear, it almost doesn’t want to. It accelerates sometimes...

    1989 25HP Johnson Outboard Bogging down, thumping, then not starting.

    Just this weekend, i dropped my boat in the water, and my motorm, when I was at full speed, ran great. When I started decelerating, the motor died when I got to low idle. The boat sort of hiccuped, or choked(backfired), and died. After that, the motor would sort of start, but then when I started...

    Thump to kill (1989 25hp Johnson)

    I have a 1989 25hp Johnson outboard, and it’s having trouble staying at low idle. No matter what throttle I’m at every few seconds there’s a thump noise and the motor jerks, and it drops and then regains rpms, but at lower idle it just dies after one of the jerks. Could this be timing misfire or...

    Steering console

    Small outboard motor trouble

    Sorry if I do misunderstand. I did gap them, I read the repair manual, found the gap, and respaced them. Sorry I didn’t remember what measurement it was.

    Small outboard motor trouble

    Sorry I said this wrong. I said the spark plugs were spaced correctly, but what I meant is that yes, they are gapped at 3/8”.

    Small outboard motor trouble

    It ran great, perfect healthy idle, but seemed a little high, reved high and was able to drop back down. I never really attempted to get the primer bulb hard, could that be a component? And yes, the spark plugs are correctly spaced. And what is the choke flapperSome apple users can access this...

    Motor doesn’t keep running

    I did a compression test and replaced the spark plugs, but it did nothing. Could it be clogged fuel lines?

    Small outboard motor trouble

    Hey guys, I own a 15hp 1990 Johnson 2 stroke outboard motor, and I have been having trouble. I posted before about this, but I have a few updates. This motor is hard to get going, as in takes a lot of pulls. When I pull it, it starts and dies a couple of times before I can get it to stay alive...

    Also, the man had it running, and video proof, and then it just sat for a year.

    Seller says he replaced it, but probably best to check.
