Re: 1967 Johnson Sportwin / Motorguide w55 trolling motor is

Re: 1967 Johnson Sportwin / Motorguide w55 trolling motor is

Re: 1967 Johnson sportwin issues

I'm not sure about the hub. Works fine at idle speed in forward and reverse. Just seems like I'm not getting enough power when I give it gas. Not turning anywhere near the rpms. the "knocking" sound in neutral is a loud bang every 10-15 sec, and is another unknown issue.

Re: 1967 Johnson sportwin issues

Exhaust is fine. Runs the same with / without cowling. Also plenty of water spitting out.

Re: 1967 Johnson sportwin issues

PA, thanks for the reply. I went out and bought some chemtool, all I could find is the chemtool fuel treatment. Tried it and still no luck. Also there is a "knocking" noise every once in awhile,but only in neutral. I am running non ethanol gas with sea foam treatment.
