I have worked on alot of engines but never an outboard 2 cycle, so here goes:
1) The engine is a 1973 Johnson 25 hp, and it idles fine, but from 1/2 throttle to 3/4 throttle it sounds like its running on 1 cylinder and then goes to 2 firing cylinders, and cycles between the two. Just bought it and previous owner says he changed the ignition points, but not sure if he installed them correct. Where are the points, in the distributor?

2) At full throttle it runs fine (and on 2 cylinders) for about 15 seconds and then starts to lose some of its power, but continues to go on two cylinders. Its rubber suction ball style gas tank with no fuel pump, and I wondered if the engine gets starved for gas at full throttle? The gas line is 5/16" I.D., so I figured it was fine but I may be wrong.

I have a 2000 Kawasaki ZXi 1100 that I didn't remove the fuel from last Fall like I should have. Now it won't start. I put stabilizer in it in November, but by then it already wouldn't start and I don't think what I put in the tank was able to work it's way through to the carbs. Does anyone know what is involved in getting it to run again? Also, if I drain ther old gas, what can I do with it to get rid of the fuel? Thanks for your help.

I recently purchased a used boat and motor, the motor is a 1970 Mercury 500 50hp Thunderbolt, and someone told me it had the wrong spark plugs in it. I have been searching the web in vain for a application guide to find out the different kinds of plugs that can be used in this, I would like to put the best ones in this motor. Does any one know a good site to refer me to. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

We need to re-name our boat and we just painted it and now it is primarily white with orange accents, so would like the name to be something to do with orange, but can't think of anything clever....

I am in the market for a boat. There is a big boat show in February and that is about the time I'll be ready to buy. Do you think boat shows are a good deal, or not so much? Is February a good time to buy (off season?) or not (start of season?)? I am in Virginia, in case that matters. Thank you!
