johnson cd-12 tilt lock operation

[DickS]

how does a cd-12 tilt lock work?

[JACQUES]

on my CD11 tilt lock locks  DOWN   in reverse only hence the name  REVERSE LOCK

if you are looking for a tilt UP lock there is none  see manual page 392… a short piece of  dowel or 2×2 on a small chain  works great ! 🙂

Tilt up lock is achieved by tightening tilt bolt until engine stays up on its own

[DickS]

So starting procedure on stand to counteract the pull rope force is to start in Reverse or use a dowel or a block of wood?

[JACQUES]

no reason to starting  reverse if the engine works ok    if the tilt  is   tight enough has suggested  by Michael the engine will stay down …

dowel is ok trailing if the engine needs to stay up securely .

Thanks, JACQUES and Michael for you knowledge transfer.  I have only had the motor for 6 Days and I cleaned the carb on Saturday, and Started it on Sunday.  Next is the leaking gear case for which I ordered the Sierra kit.  Only 3 days needed to get the Johnson to run.  I have spent 10 months to get a Ted Williams/Sears 7.5 hp (McCulloch) to run and the Marvel-Shelber carb has whipped me.  Johnson outboards are loads easier to work on.

sealing the GC is not hard but…tricky. Doing  a few helps so check utubes .   the spaghetti is tricky..consult the manual in the link provided  changing oring is tricky to on the shift shaft.

 

if you are going to do a good job replace all seal ( drive shaft  prop shaft   shifter rod seal   when all done  and closed up  do a GC pressuretest to see if it will hold around 10psi for 10 minutes..   perform a vacum test also  her are a few utubes

Just put one hand on the motor to keep it from tilting up as you start it.  Same for on a boat.

Also, when running the motor on a stand, it must have water.  It should submerge the impeller.  Maybe you know this already but I wasn’t sure when you said stand not barrel..

Don’t forget about checking/changing the impeller!  Many rubber impellers go bad over time.
