    1968 Johnson 3hp Drive Shaft Oil Seal Removal

    I'm looking to replace the drive shaft oil seal on my 1968 Johnson 3hp. #10 in the Gearcase Group parts catalog. 0327031 - Oil Seal. I have the new seal, but I've never done this before. How do I remove the old seal without doing damage? I've seen that there is a special tool for it in the...

    Trim/Tilt Motor Brush Replacement

    On the left of the picture are the old springs, in the middle is the closest I could get on my own, followed by the package the new ones came in. I don't know if Leeson is the name of the design or the manufacturer.

    Trim/Tilt Motor Brush Replacement

    I need to replace the brushes in the trim/tilt motor of my 2000 Mercury 30hp 2 stroke outboard. I tried looking it up on the parts list of the website, but it doesn't seem to go past buying a new trim motor. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting some replacements? The trim...

    2000 30hp Mercury 2 stroke, Tiny Tach Sparks per Revolution setting

    Hi folks, I just got a Tiny Tach to calibrate engine idle speed for my 2000 Mercury 30hp 2stroke. (http://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercury_marine_parts/sn/0G963663) I have the service manual for the motor, but I can't figure out what I should be setting sparks per revolution to. I'm seeing...

    Trim/tilt intermittently doesn't work

    Don't know what the policy is on continuing old threads, but since I'm just getting to work on something months later I figured it didn't make sense to start a new thread. When I opened up the trim/tilt motor expecting to replace the brushes I found that the brushes looked great, but one of the...

    A Lot of Play in Gear Shift Handle

    I didn't know if I should make a new thread or reuse the old post. I finally got around to getting the lower unit free. I noticed that the gear shift linkage screw heads were on the port side of the motor. The manual shows the heads on the starboard side of the motor. I'm suspicious that the...

    2000 Mercury 30 hp, possible to convert to 40 hp?

    Hey folks, I've got a 2000 Mercury 30hp motor on a pontoon boat. It pushes the boat just fine with a couple people on it (about 16 mph), but it sure slows down when the boat is full (didn't measure speed while full). The service manual that I got for the motor seems to be the same for 30 and...

    A Lot of Play in Gear Shift Handle

    Hey folks, I just picked this motor up. It doesn't pump water so I'm getting a new impeller, but there's another thing I noticed that I don't know how to fix. It will shift through all the gears just fine, but once in any of the gears (F, N, R) there is a lot of play in the handle. I'll link...

    What year is this 6hp Evinrude and would it be a good parts motor for 1975 6hp Evinrude

    Well, the first motor fell through. The guy selling didn't respond to any of my messages. However I found another option, the seller says it's a 1976, but he said the model number plate was missing. Based on the pictures I believe him, but I would love a confirmation. Thanks folks!

    1975 Evinrude 6hp Cam Follower Adjustment

    Hey folks, I have a quick question about the cam follower adjustment. In the manual there is a flat blade for the cam follower and it shows that the leading edge of the blade should be opposite the throttle cam mark. I have a roller style cam follower, so how should I adjust it? Right now I...

    How does this gas tank vent/regulate pressure?

    Hi gentlemen, I was walking through my grandfather's garage today and saw a 6 gallon gas tank that I'd like to use to replace my 3 gallon tank. By looking at it, I'm not sure how it would vent. Would appreciate a short explanation. Cheers.

    Exhaust Holes in 1968 3hp Johnson JHL-23M

    I took the old 1968 3hp out for a spin today (JHL-23M Rigid Standard Gearcase). There are about 6 exhaust holes on the back of it, but there was very little water coming out of them. If I put my hand out I could feel that there was moisture in the exhaust, but it was hard to see water coming...

    What year is this 6hp Evinrude and would it be a good parts motor for 1975 6hp Evinrude

    Hi folks, there's a 6hp Evinrude for sale that I'm considering buying as a parts motor for my 1975 6hp Evinrude if it's compatible. I can't see the model number on the plate and the owner hasn't responded to the question yet. I was hoping some of you could identify the year at a glance, and...

    Low Speed Needle Tip Broken Off?

    Hi folks, I acquired a 1975 Evinrude 6504R 6hp Fisherman in the middle of last year. It's been running great at mid and high speed, but I've been having trouble getting the motor to run at low speed. I thought it must be a dirty carb problem, so I got myself a kit and cleaned it out. The...

    Reuse Broken Starter Spring? 15hp

    Hi folks, I realize a replacement starter spring is relatively inexpensive, but do you think it's possible to reuse a spring where the stopper coil on the outside of the spring cup broke? Do you think it's possible to wind up the end to make a new stopper coil? 1985 15hp Evinrude. Also please...

    78 70hp evinrude cutting out on gear

    Could be that the high speed jet is plugged. #33 in the photo below. I think all you need is a screw driver to pull it out, but it is easy to damage so I'm reluctant to recommend you pull it out. Try gently poking a not-sharp wire through and give it a blast of carb cleaner. If you do pull...

    1968 Johnson 3hp JHL23-M Gearcase Test Pressure

    I'm suspicious that the gearcase on my 1968 Johnson 3hp, JHL23M has a leak. I got a little pump with a gauge on it to test if it holds pressure, but I don't know how much pressure to apply. Any thoughts would be helpful.
