I can’t thank you enough for this video and how much it helped me. I just bought a used boat with an old 1990 25Hp Johnson on it. Took it out for the first time. The engine started and idled fine but top speed was about 10mph. I looked at the engine this morning and noticed the carburetor butterfly only opened a 1/4 or less. I was stumped until I came across this video. The small clamp on the wire that opens the butterfly was loose and had slid down and away from the actuator. I watched your video step by step following along with you and wow, just wow, a zillion percent improvement. So please accept my most sincere thanks and my very warmest regards.

I'm a little late to the party, but I've got an '84 Johnson 35hp and am trying to set up the throttle/carb/timing on from scratch. Looks to have the same setup as your 30hp. The issue I am having is: IF I set it up so that the cam follower comes off the cam right between the two marks, I bind up the throttle rod when trying to go WOT (nothing stopping the throttle from advancing so I begin putting excess pressure on the throttle rod/carb linkage etc.) The butterfly valve in the carb goes past horizontal However if I go back and set the throttle rod collar screw so that the carb's butterfly valve is perfectly horizontal when the throttle is at WOT (throttle lever against stop on engine block), the cam follower is not even close to the 2 marks on the cam when it touches down/leaves the cam. It contacts way to the left Is your throttle lever contacting the stop on the engine block at WOT once you're done adjusting? At the beginning of the video I see you adjust the relationship between the cam follower and marks on the cam by adjusting the throttle linkage. I have a tiller throttle control with no linkage like that. Just shafts and gears to that point. I don't see a way to make an adjustment other than using the throttle rod set screw that contacts the nylon block on the throttle lever. **Scratch that, I think I am supposed to use the Idle stop screw to make the similar adjustment** Thanks a ton for the video, you the man, the research continues...

Thanks for these very helpful videos ! I have a question regarding the little brass machine screw that tightens down onto the linkage that you adjusted so that the butterfly was wide open after adjusting it. I have a Johnson 28 SPL with remote start. I was fixing up a seized cable from the high throttle lever that is usually in the up position when starting the motor. Well I busted that little brass stop when I went to tighten the screw. My question is when I push the little wire linkage forward to make sure the butterfly is open before I tighten the brass screw, should the high idle starting lever be in the down position or up ? Also should my shifter be in neutral while making this adjustment ? Thank you

Have a 61 evinrude lark 3. I’ve struggled to get it running all summer long and haven’t been able to use my first boat I’ve owned because it. Issues right now include high idle upon start and then it will eventually die or I bring the throttle back down to a lower idle and it just dies. I have cleaned and rebuilt both the carb and fuel pump, including the fuel filter and replacing the float in the carb. I have replaced most of the fuel lines. Crazy thing is when I first bought it, I was able to get it up an running and stay at a lower idle without dying. Any thoughts? Appreciate the easy to understand videos!
@OmFishing Жыл бұрын
I know that a lot of things can cause that motor to do that. Are the fuel lines in good condition. What kind of fuel tank are you using. Check and see if the fuel line is sucking air at the connectors. If you are using a portable tank do you have it in the boat. The fuel pump can only suck fuel about 24 inchs vertical.

I have the exact engine, however after a carb rebuild and new primer my engine won't idle without sputtering. And it ran on one cylinder until it warmed up. Is that a solenoid pack? I changed the spark plugs and that didn't help.
@OmFishing8 жыл бұрын
Before you start buying a lot of parts i would do some reading. The engine could be in S.L.O.W Be cause of bad temperature switch. Check your coils when your engine is running on one cylinder is it getting spark to plug. I did just what you are doing with my evinrude 225, replace the computer and that was not it. I can do a lot of testing for what the marina cost to do it for me. I got my hands on a good service manual. I do all the test that they tell you to do and so far i have always found my problem. Sometimes it two or three things all at once. Sorry i have not had the problem you have to just tell you what to do.

Om Fishing thank you for the response I'll put it in a tank and see what happens when I pull the plugs and solenoid to test them. What is SLOW??
@OmFishing8 жыл бұрын
SLOW is a warning system which gradually limits engine speed to approximately 2000 rpm when engine temperature exceeds 180 F and resume normal operation at 155 F and engine must be slowed to an idle. Temperature switch is the tan wire try unplug and run engine. It could be a diode in the wiring harness.

Om Fishing alright thank you very much I'll test run it this weekend and get back to you as an update.. I'll test the solenoids too because it sounded like it was mis firing

Aren't you supposed to have the throttle lever hard up to the stop, when setting the control rod/ horizontal butterfly?
@OmFishing5 жыл бұрын
The book only says that the carburetor throttle plate must be exactly horizontal when the throttle lever is fully advanced. I took that as advanced the throttle. After I read that again it says set then check if it is not horizontal repeat steps 1-4. My motor is running great and no problems. I will have to check when setting this part if there is any different if the throttle is at idle or WOT. Thank for watching and commenting Stay Safe.

@OmFishing4 жыл бұрын
When you say sneezing if you are saying that it blows gas back through the carburetor you could have a bad reed valve. Are all the gaskets good? You are at the point little details are important. Spark plugs, I change mine twice a year need it or not, Clean fuel, I run a good fuel water separator.

I have a96 Johnson 25 the bottom coil kept cutting out I replaced the coil, I took off both coils and when I put the the coils back on I think I crossed the wires that runs from the power pack to the coils. I took the boat out andthe motor ran fine all day until we started heading in one of the cylinders cut out. I swaped the coils around putting Te bottom coil on too and too coil on bottom to see if the top cylinder would cut out or if it the boTTom would keep cutting out. , and when I switched them I also swapped the wires back around that runs from the power pack to the coils. I went ran the boat for about an hour and ran fine. Does it matter which coil those wires run to and would that cause the one of the cylinders to stop firing or to misfire?

Do the spark plugs come out dry or wet? Are they filled with oil?
@OmFishing8 жыл бұрын
The best way for me to answer this is it looks like baked on oil and carbon on spark plugs I take out. The other captains that i know that run out board engines say don't leave the spark plugs in very long because the longer you run them, the more gas the engine uses. The more chance of one failing. So you are better off to change them, the cost of spark plugs will be off set in gas. I don't know if that is true. They change theirs so i change mine. I always run the plug the manufacture recommends.
