Reply To: Timing a 6HP Johnson 1989

Thanks for the help. It is a 2 stroke motor. I looked at it all day today and the flywheel key is not sheared. I think the bottom cylinder is getting water in it somehow. I pulled the cylinder head the fire rings looked good. I pulled the exhaust cover and it looked good as-well. I wonder if it could be getting water in it from the lower seal? I do think where water goes into the water jacket area from exhaust cover area was partially clogged. But it has been ran in salt water and it could just have a bad block at this point. I tried re-versing the coils to see if the might have wired them backwards it would not start with them reversed. It is not spitting out the carb only sucking so I don’t think it is a bad reed valve.

Some insight on this motor. I really feel sorry for the guy he has like 1200 dollars in the motor and the best I can tell is that the shop put a new carb on it and 2 new coils. He works very hard and lives on a sailboat. His friend purchased a 4 1/2 Evinrude from me that’s how I meet these guys. I just fixed his friends 4hp folding motor so now they brought me the 6hp. The guy can’t read so he was taken advantage in my opinion. I hate when people take advantage of hard working people.

I can get a gasket kit for entire engine for llke 50 bucks and was thinking maybe put a fresh water block on it since it has good compression. Not going to do anything until I hear from you guys.

I think it couldn’t hurt to look at the info shop manual you have on the 96 2stroke 6hp.

Thank You,
Joe
