1970's Johnson 25 horse losing power

if you can't find anything on the sites already posted google marine salvage yards. I've found parts for my '77 85HP Johnson that way.

Thank you

Well I tried 4 different salvage yards and nobody responded to my request. I have since pulled the motor off the boat and put on a 18hp Nissan. I am not happy with this but that does push the boat

Still unable to locate a pinion gear and drive shaft for the '70 model Johnson 25 hp motor.

Cricket check these guys, looks like they have some parts to fit your motor.

Once again, thank you, cray.

Cray - I checked the site you suggested and the site indicated that the drive shaft and pinion gear were unavailable

**cricket george** · 06-07-2014, 11:16 PM

I guess it is possibly a boat anchor now

I have officially junked the motor. I cannot locate any parts or any salvage yard to respond to my emails.. The engine runs fine after running the seafoam thru it. Cray - Do you have any suggestions? I would be willing to sell the engine as a parts engine.

That's funny, when I open it up and go to the pinion and the gear set it shows plenty avaliable. If it was me I would get their number, call and tell them what you need.

If you really don't want to fool with it post in classifieds here and on your local Craig's list.
