  • In today's video we are working on a 1979 Johnson 15 hp seahorse. I'm not sure it will run but we will be testing it out and discovering its little problems one at a time.

    I have the same motor and have just started messing around with it, but this vid would help me fix the water pump if that’s my issue. I have the same problem, not being able to throttle my motor up and it doesn’t idle well either and ends up dying out…gonna go find your part 2.

    I really enjoy the information you give on these little motors these 1979 Johnson 15 horsepower I've got one I had to carburetor rebuilt the bottom end rebuilt everything's working fine I took it out the other day on the lake and it wouldn't catch up it was falling on her face just like you say and I started looking looks like to me I don't have no front adjustment it goes all the way up and stops so that could be the problem I don't know what it what would your opinion be

    Question, the starter spring and that assembly, I’ve been looking for a replacement for it but all I come up with are electric starters.... is there a specific name for it??

    • @Michaelsbackyardmarina
      @Michaelsbackyardmarina  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Check out marineengine.com, you can look up parts by the model and year of your outboard. The parts are in groups. Should make it easy to find your part and what it is called.

  • @charliedarby6218

    The little black plastic piece should go behind the little ear on the recoil housing and there is also a little spring leg that goes with . Look at a exploded view of the whole assembly.

    You got that right about that starter spring, it's like fighting a metal Cobra. My 1990 year model Johnson 15hp I bought used the starter assembly was like yours all apart. If you' ve never done one before it is for sure a learning experience.

    Hi there! Greetings from Alberta Canada.
    Your videos are helpful. I just bought a 1980 15hp Johnson. I don't know much about them, but I'm learning! Question: Where do you order your parts from?
    What turned out to be the issue with the 79? was it the fuel pump?
    Thanks

    Hey I have approximately the same motor and replaced the pump today but it's still not pumping. I've cleaned the line but still nothing . I took thermostat out cleaned inside still nothing I'm totally baffled. Worked on it 5 hours taking it apart twice, still nothing. Water flows with muff on but not in a barrel. I'm losing my mind over this, any ideas?

      That rubber tube that comes out of the impeller housing slides up around the metal tube coming down from the motor. That's where the cooling water is pumped up. When you slide the lower unit up in place, make sure it goes in to it.
