got it. like a clutch on a old harley. Cool

Like it. the ball joints are the key to this delima i am in. i Need to turn a push into a pull. These old OMC 10's advance the timing as do they open the accelerator at the same time. I'm at the mercy of self engineering again. Ill try to place pic soon i hope.

Where is this custom genre site u speak of

Any of u guru's ever made a remote throttle and gear selector for the front of the boat.

has anyone swapped the old intake,carb combination on the pre 53 QD series to the newer one that are separated.

Has anyone ever tweaked the reeds to get more throttle response or power from the old OMC 10 hp QD series

I am in need of the ship master control unit with cables with ends. 1950's ear

where do i get the Morse cables at. I have a 1955 Memphis Belle high bow 14'

Has anyone here ever made a throttle and shifter control for the old Johnson. It has the connections on both sides for the cable hook-up but the ship master controls are a bit pricey and the cables are to. Here in Tennessee we call it redneck engineering. Any thoughts from all you old salts...

your recoil claws aren't engaging. You need to rebuild the starter mechanism. Very simple, one or two of the engaging claws aren't making contact with the flywheel. these claws are the anchor point that turns the flywheel to excite the magneto to make the spark to send it to the coil and then to...

seem like the difference so far is the is the mounting of the cowl cover and he throttle. Haven't checked the isolators yet. AS far as the power heads, ,looks like power heads are similar. the attachment cowl ears are different. Think i got some stuck stuck rings on the QD-13. Have the QD-16...

Does anybody have a chart to tell what years of QD 10HP johnson series interchange. I have a QD-13(1952) i would like to change power heads to a QD-15(1954) until i can rebuild the QD-13. From the looks of the lower end the QD-13 has more access points. Don't know if this has been discussed...

same thing happened to my qd-15. Gear lube came out looking like a vanilla shake. Seals are in order. someone tried there hand at some blue rtv. Quick fix, but top seal failed and pickup tube seal was cracked sucking in water till it cant hold any more. Thank goodness the brass didnt guald.

500 bucks is a fair price. I paid 400 for two parts motors.

does the power head have to come off
