[@davek.1063]

[@mrmister1308]

Man thnk you for this video..i had this same problem..went home the same day i seen this and tried it and my problem is solved..saved myself alot of money.

[@TheMarineDoctor]

Happy to have helped out.

[@robertmackenzie3973]

Would anybody have a prop part number for this motor, i m have the damdest time finding a prop, the dealer gave me one,it fits but is not touching the thrust washer,am i missing a spacer? Its about 1/2 play! An the lock nut is showing this !

[@samuelshake1741]

Hi thx for the video my bottom lever snaps back but the top lever that goes to spark advancer won’t go back cleaned it and oil but same thing. Johnson 50 hp 1983. Any information would be helpful.

[@TheMarineDoctor]

Check that the spring is in the throttle arm correctly.

My 73 stinger johson is new to me I'm not seeing water out the exhaust ports in nuetral the motor seems to be hot on long seafoam flush run.

[@ct1762]

did you inspect the water pump, thermostats and make sure the poppet valve grommets aren't leaking? stop using that seafoam stuff. use omc/brp engine tuner into a warm engine only and let it soak.

[@joesmith6432]

Thank you I will look there

[@jordansuarez9701]

What could be the problem if the idle after running the engine for a while?

[@johnsowders1630]

Thanks I did it . And it fixed the problem

[@robertburns426]

Great Thanks it will be easy.thank you

[@mdarvy7804]

my 1978 70 hp would not start or stay running at idle, i clean this linkage and now it works. the spark advance was so sticky, i had replaced plugs and fuel line, fixed fuel connections, and was totally frustrated. now i need to clean the road dust from more moving linkage, and i should be good to go. it idles and starts great, but 'bogs' on acceleration. here's hoping.

[@TheMarineDoctor]

That should just pull off one the bolt is removed.

[@ct1762]

timer base needs to be free and super smooth in its action. cam roller needs to open throttle plates when it passes center of 1st hash mark on throttle cam. sounds like your roller is jammed up against the cam because you tried to adjust it with the shift cable connected (dderrrrr!)

[@danysfishingsv9711]

I have this problem on my right now

[@TheMarineDoctor]

Hopefully you can get it sorted out and get back on the water.

[@danysfishingsv9711]

@@TheMarineDoctor I hope thanks

[@andrewmerris4005]

I’ve got a 82 75hp Johnson is idles fine and bogs off idle under load. If you slowly move the throttle till engine picks ups and it accelerates to full from there and runs perfect at wot. Any suggestions on where I should start checking and adjusting. Have also found a couple small fuel leaks and a gasket missing between the air intake but haven’t ran the engine since I’ve found the leaks

[@TheMarineDoctor]

Most times its starving for fuel. Take the carbs off and rebuild them. Then google sync and link procedures to set the carbs up properly with the timing

[@brentmarshall4049]

Mine sticks to, if I take that bolt off will it come off with out the spring shooting out and is it easy to put together. The spark advance without taken off flywheel can I shoot oil up underneath without having problems. What kind of grease do you use.

[@TheMarineDoctor]

If you are referring to the arm. Sometimes the spring pops out. It might be a good idea to take it apart anyway and clean it. Any NLGI rated GC-LB grease will do fine. Yes. Oil can be sprayed.

[@johnsowders1630]

Did u take yours apart if so did the spring come out ? Am getting ready to do mine just curious if the spring will fly out! Thanks

[@brentmarshall4049]

No, the spring will not pop out.

[@foppatrotter]

I have the the same issue and same problem. I cant get the rotating bit in the middle to come off. The one with the spring onside. No bolt holding it so How to get it off so i can fix it?? Thanks

[@TheMarineDoctor]

Are there not 3- 4 retaining screws holding it down...on the outside edge?

[@foppatrotter]

@@TheMarineDoctor no not that I could see. Once i removed the pivet arm for the gearshifter i found nothing holding it. Just sist on the shaft . Johnson 70 HP 1977

[@TheMarineDoctor]

@@foppatrotter is it stuck under the flywheel...or on the side with the linkages?

[@foppatrotter]

@@TheMarineDoctor il upload a video tomorrow if I cant sort it out and link. Thanks

[@foppatrotter]

@@TheMarineDoctor Link to video. Would be great if you knew rthe answer because 1 month waiting time for local repair shop in Sweden (high season) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3S7oYyfjpqleZI

[@joesmith6432]

Were will I find the serial number on a 70 hp. Johnson / Evinrude I look all over

[@TheMarineDoctor]

Starboard tilt bracket on the side.

[@michaelbryan7191]

It's it's locked cn it be unlocked

[@user_namehere]

What is that part that you were pulling back called?

[@TheMarineDoctor]

The Trigger was not moving back into place

[@user_namehere]

@@TheMarineDoctor @1:23 the part that you're moving, what does that do? That part on my outboard doesn't spring back like shown in your video and my engine is idling kinda high.could that be the problem?

[@ct1762]

its called the spark advance lever, mercury calls a sensor coil a "trigger" as it trips the switches in the power pack
