    Starter bracket stud #0308354

    The stud that holds the starter bracket on my J25TEEDA has bent and knocked my starter motor out of alignment with the flywheel. The stud is part number 0308354. Am I likely to find a replacement stud in an auto parts store or do I have to go to an OEM supplier?

    Poor mesh of Bendix gear with flywheel

    What determines the degree of meshing between the Bendix gear and the flywheel? My engagement is pretty thin and it seems to be wearing out the lower part of the teeth on the flywheel.

    Which end is up

    When I took my electric start apart, I didn't notice the orientation of the cup that sits under the circlip at the top of the armature shaft. The cup has a thick wall about half way up the interior of the cup. I installed it with the cup facing down so that the spring on the shaft is...

    Starting motor damage

    Unfortunately, a tree came down and landed on my outboard motor, Johnson 25hp twin J25TEEDA. The cowling took the brunt of the damage but the top piece of the starting motor broke off and ended up embedded in the engine cowling. When I tried to start it today, the pinion gear would spin and...

    Carb problem J25TEEDA

    The 1996 25hp engine on my 14’ fishing boat has a fuel problem. Excess fuel has been coming out of the carb. When I squeeze the gas tank primer bulb, fuel comes out of the mesh covered port near the primer inlet port at th top of the carburetor. I’ve taken the carb apart and everything seems...

    Is it time for a new ignition switch?

    My Johnson J25TEEDA was converted to remote control a few years ago. As part of that process a keyed ignition switch was installed. This year the key would turn the entire switch instead of rotating inside the switch. With a bit of jiggling it would work. I sprayed some WD-40 inside the key...

    Johnson J25TEEDA running out of fuel at full throttle

    My 1996 Johnson J25TEEDA (was converted to remote controls a long time ago) seems to be running out of fuel at full throttle. It will run at full throttle if I pump the primer bulb. I've posted a video on youtube that shows the problem. The video runs for a little over 2:30 minutes but if you...

    Remote control issues

    My 14' aluminum fishing boat has a 1996 Johnson 25hp, J25TEEDA. At some point before I bought it, it was fitted with a side console and remote controls. A single lever controls the throttle and the gear selector. Sometimes when I turn the key to start the motor, nothing happens. If I jostle the...

    1968 Johnson MQ-14E 9.5HP

    I have a chance to buy a 1968 Johnson 9.5 HP, model MQ-14E serial # J2887906. I think I read here, recently, that OMC used a new wiring harness provider in 1968 and there were a lot of problems with those wiring harnesses. Is my recollection right? Am I likely to run into problems with wiring...

    How do I flush water contaminated fuel lines

    I've been told the fuel tank on my Johnson 25hp, J25TEEDA, has been contaminated with water. Is there a procedure for getting the bad fuel out of the fuel lines, the fuel pump and the carburetor?

    Oil inside cowling

    On my Johnson 25hp, J25TEEDA converted to remote, there is always a coating of oil inside the cowling underneath the carburetor. I suspect that fuel is leaking out of the carburetor when I have the motor tilted up on a transom saver for transportation. Is this normal? Is there something I can...

    Locking 5hp Mercury trim down

    I have a new to me Mercury 5hp 2006 ME5M 4ST serial number 0A107680, on a 12' jon boat. I can lock the motor in full up trim, and in half-trim, but when the motor is down, as in normal operation, I can't seem to lock it in position. I worry about the motor rising up when motoring along at full...

    Leaky fuel tank

    The fuel tank that came with my J25TEEDA is now 22 years old. Today in 90F temperatures I noticed fuel seepage around the housing on the top of the tank. Opening the gas cap slightly eased the problem. This housing has had a crack in it for some time but I never felt that it led to any leakage...

    Loose latch on engine cover

    I have a 1996 Johnson 25 hp outboard, J25TEEDA. The latch that locks the top engine cover in place is loose. It moves freely and is lubed regularly. A nut on the inside of the engine cover is tight. I’d hate to lose the engine cover if this came undone. Is there an adjustment I can make to...

    Two questions about Synchronization and Linkage Adjustments

    I've been reading the manual for my J25TEEDA (converted to remote). Why is it necessary to remove both remote control cables (throttle cable and gear selector cables, I assume) from the engine before performing adjustments? When adjusting the Throttle Control Rod why is it necessary to have...

    What is the SLOW feature?

    I have a 1996 Johnson 25, model J25TEEDA. When I've been trolling (idling along in gear ) for about 30 minutes, and I want to go to full throttle, the engine comes off idle and increases rpm a bit but then it starts to shake. If I return to idle and in neutral a few times it will finally go to...

    J25TEEDA manual primer fuel lines

    My 1996 25hp motor has been hard to start. It always started but it took several tries. I noticed that the manual primer fuel line that runs to the top of the carburetor was routed behind the starter motor and appeared to be pinched. When I disconnected the line at the carburetor and pumped the...
