Thanks Pappy. So the Quick start lever on the control should move the roller on throttle cam at least past the two marks to where It start's easily. I have a tiller motor like this one and comparing the throttle settings.

Been working on a project Johnson 25hp motor on a stand and has remote BRP late 90’s control.cables probably original. Issue I am experiencing is when I do my link and sync on motor using the fast start lever all is lined up as far as throttle plate etc. But when I use throttle to give it full...

Do not have a piston stop tool but got it to top of it's travel as best I can tell and it does appear to be in time with position on flywheel.It may be that someone was trying to advance timing to gain better performance possibly.I am about ready to get it started after some other repairs that...

Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions.Someon else had suggested tdc check also to me which I will do.I just didn’t think since these were so simple of a timed motor I just didn’t bother to do it first.So hypothetically if the TDC of piston does not line up with TDC on flywheel mark...

No…he had nothing to do with the notching out the bracket and never suggested doing this to get correct timing!You are misunderstanding my post!I Why such a negative attitude?got this motor that someone for some unknown reason notched it out.I was just trying to determine why someone may have...

Well, just google Joe Reeves timing method.Joe was a factory trained OMC service tech for many years and retired in the 90’s I believe so he probably had the manuals memorized.Not 100% sure if he is still among us here on earth.Also,I never said I didn’t trust a manual.I was trying to find out...

Since know one has an answer just thought I would throw this out there.I did throw another power pack on this motor to see if that somehow affected timing and the timing results were the same,so I am still perplexed why the starter bracket where the full advance timing screw is mounted was...

Nice looking lure.I don’t make any but would be fun I could saltwater fish more.Been looking to add a Danny plug or other metal lip to my bag to try.

Thanks Pappy. That’s what I was thinking.I had posted about timing on a 25hp and hoped you would have some insight.

Need a refresher on these.Never owned a remote start and still don’t,but when you push key only I know it activates solenoid but does that alone squirt the fuel from just the pressure from the tank or does it pump when the key is turned to crank while pushing in?

Hoping PAPPY would chime in.I got a basket case motor last year and while going over it I noticed someone had notched out the starter bracket where the timing advance stopper screw is.Never saw this before.This was done to get more adjustment for some reason.I tried to time it with the Joe...

On my Johnson 20hp to 35hps the timing is only critical at full throttle.Sound like your starving for fuel.Do you need bigger fuel lines or fuel pump different?Check float level?

Thanks

Are these keys pretty universal?Just wondering if I could source a used key and lanyard.

Yes..You can put a 35hp carb and intake on it from what I understand.Actually sold the carb and intake and lower unit from the 1977 35hp parts motor I bought for electric parts to a kid that wanted to convert his 25hp to 35hp.Got my money back👍

Yes have rope start also.Just got done with conversion and took my battery off of riding Mower and it crank no problem.Charging circuit seemed to be working as I did see increase in voltage while increasing rpm.Was on muffs so couldn’t take it too high.I was concerned about the starter since...

Thanks.

I am making slow progress in putting in my electric start.Finally got my stator and rectifier on,starter-solenoid and bracket assy needs on along with switches and Decideing what battery to use and want to save space and weight.I saw where someone actually used a lawn/garden battery to start...
