Would anybody happen to have some schematics for this type of outboard
motor? 62 Johnson 20HP? Thanks |

Sure, just remove the capitals from the email address. "REMOVETHIS"
I'm primarily interested in the carb area / air box area. I think there's some pieces missing on this old gal and she's not running good at all. Thanks Chris "trainfan1" wrote in message ...

Thanks Rob.
Problem is rather interesting, and the following should describe it: 2 years ago the problem with this motor began. She would foul plugs and miss heavily at speeds faster than idle. As soon as a new set of plugs was put in she would run perfectly for the next 10 minutes including all speeds (feel like a new engine), then the same bogging would happen. Once again, if a new set of plugs were put in, she'd be good to go for another 10 mins. During the bogging stage she'd die once in a while, but would still run for some time during this stage where she was misfiring, and top speed would be 1/5 of usual speed. The motor had new gas mixed to 50:1. Got sick and tired of it, and gave up. She sat for almost 2 years without use and left it as is. Last weekend had to use it due to a problem with my other motor. Mixed brand new gas in a clean tank, motor started up without touching any plugs and ran perfectly for 1 solid day. Use was at all speeds and with trolling, so I can say I likely used at least 1/2 tank of gas with this motor running perfectly. Then after that it started. Same problem as 2 years ago. Just out of the blue she would be running bad like before. Same thing here, put new plugs in, and she'd be good for a while, but then restart the problem. We tried a new gas line, and used two different tanks. Despite this problem, we had to fish, so we were able to manage a trolling speed with it stalling out once in a while. When looking at the motor there is a lean / rich mixture knob on the front of it, and there seems to be no airbox around the carb. It didn't appear that the knob changed anything when turned either. That should sum up the problem here. Cheers Chris "trainfan1" wrote in message ... Chris wrote: Would anybody happen to have some schematics for this type of outboard motor? 62 Johnson 20HP?

I think your problem is weak or leaking ignition coils. It is way past time for an ignition tune-up anyway, so while the points & condensors are renewed, inspect and test the coils as long as the flywheel is off. Rob |

is it still possible to get parts for these things in Canada?

Sierra makes an entire line of aftermarket tune-up & repair parts, and the stuff you will be looking for is OEM stocked at any reputable OMC shop, & lots of Mom 'n Pops will have motherloads of NOS common parts.

so what it needs is specifically the ignition coils, the points and the
condenser? "trainfan1" wrote in message ... Chris wrote: is it still possible to get parts for these things in Canada? "trainfan1" wrote in message ...

Don't change them blindly, the contact points are service items, the condensors & coils should be examined & tested using the proper equipment (Stevens, Merc-O-Tronic, etc.). If the coils have broken/cracked jackets, don't bother testing, just replace. This is a common failure on older OMC's. If you can't test the condensors, replace with new as long as you have the flywheel off. Rob |
