Look For Service Bulletin In Repair Manual?

[beerman57]

Me and everyone trying to help are having a hard time finding the service bulletin about 1958 Johnson 10hp motors upper midsection getting hot and discolored. If you have a service manual, would you please look in it for this service bulletin.

@Richard

If you have that 10th ed. manual (or any other editions) in a digital format, would you be willing to make it available to me? I can upload it to my shell, which has (effectively) unlimited bandwidth for sharing these types of documents.

At the moment, I only have the 3rd ed. (1922-1955) Johnson service manual available.

Thanks – please feel free to PM me for my email info.

I have the 10th edition too, nothing about service bulletins that I could find. I think it needs to be a more year/model specific manual.

Just to clarify, the Service Bulletins were printed independently of the manuals. I believe Johnson’s goal with each Service Manual revision (3rd Ed, 4th Ed,… up to the 10th Edition) was to incorporate what was learned in the bulletins. However, having a collection of the Bulletins and having looked through the manuals, not all of the information was incorporated. And it should be noted that Evinrude had Service Bulletins too, not all of them the same as the Johnson ones during this period.

I looked though the Johnson bulletin collection I have and could not find anything on the "hot shifter/leg" pertaining to the ’58 QD. As posted in the other thread, I believe the Dec ’54 RD bulletin I posted is the one people are thinking about. Since this is an interesting case, I’ll try to look at the Evinrude ones, though they are not as well organized or complete as the Johnson ones I have.

I found this on the fiberglassics site. It says Johnson put theirs in service manuals. It’s just a list I guess, I can’t open any of them.
#98, 714, 766 and 811 are close on the subject, #408 is about the 10hp conn. rods.

I’m about ready to do some drillin’. Unless someone comes up with something better real soon, I’m going to drill a hole from the water inlet to the shift linkage cavity. I know – maybe I should run a poll, YES or NO?

why not find out why not enough water is making it way out to cool the lower part of the engine…..is it pumping water ok ? impeller changed ? water tube must be ok since the ph is not hot… isi t ?

but the down spray out of the engine is not doing its job.
