I had a 1978 70 evinrude in the 80's and used it about 8-900 fishing days with zero problems. Now I have the same one and it's such a reliable strong outboard, like old times, ha !
I had an early 70s Johnson 65 3 cylinder with electronic shift lower unit I bought in the mid 90s . I put it on a heavy deep v 17ft crestliner. Full of people and gear it averaged around 40 mph and decent on fuel. I always ran it hard for years and ran into only 1 problem , had to replace the starter. Best all around engine I’ve ever owned and I wish I never sold it
Hello: I have this concern as my 1992 Evinrude 70 HP E70ELEND engine shuts off when pulling in reverse it also shuts down sometimes when I turn the tiller left or right. I look forward to your usual attention. Thank you.
can anyone tell me wits rong I have a Johnson 60 hp when the boat is in water my tell all works fine same when I put it in a barrel bit when I put. ungs on to flush I get out
I have the same motor but why is mine doesn’t accelerate on full throttle? Same speed half throttle and full throttle. Seems like something is blocking when in the water.
My 16' runabout with an older Johnson 70 with carburetors will run in the mid to upper 30's with a 13-1/4 x 17 pitch prop . He has a slightly smaller prop but same pitch and fuel injection so I'm guessing it hits 40 mph easy.
It's a crying shame Johnsons are gone. I have 3, a 50, a 70 and a 150. Love them all. Best outboards ever made in my opinion
I 100% agree I got a 1976 seahorse 70hp and she still runs a dream

Hi I still run an 89 50hp rude. Rebuilt lower unit on a 89 15 8. Ebko. Heavy boat. 15 in prop @ 32 mph. Lite load !
What petrol do I put in my 70hp Johnson
@@CalibakalzStudio I've got. 73 Evinrude 70hp. But will only go like 10mph full throttle.....why?

That sounds nice. Better than mine.
That thing wasn't running it was humming...very nice, I have always wanted a 70 hp Johnson
I have a 1996 Johnson 70 on my 15' Whaler. It SCREAMS. Great motor !
Can I ask you whats the max Speed?
@@R3Puk it does about 35 mph. Great motor!
@@gregpopp4847 That's good! In your experience in terms of performance, how does it compare to a modern 70 4-stroke?
@@R3Puk I have no idea without testing it. Fortunately after doing some work on mine it appears that it will most likely live longer than I.
Niiiiice! Haulin' bass!
Ive got a 83 johnson 35hp 2 stroke tiller steer on my alumicraft lunker i love it
Yes I believe Monte Carlo ebko are heavier boats for their 16 ft size compared to other makes! Thair gel coat stands up. To the wether !
I has a 70hp rude on a 15 foot trihull..my top speed was 52 mph...I was impressed
How long was your tri hull. I have a 15 foot and I can only top out at 38
@@musclemotors4346 it's was 15 ft long..my 70hp rude.had .30 over bored cylinders with high compression pistons..shaved cyl.head and a jack plate..
@@AlexGarcia-ew2fvthe work you had done don't account for a 15mph change in top speed.
70hp was a beast
1990-2000 models were the best. Faster and better on fuel than the previous 70's
Good question on the pitch and diameter.. I guess a 17 pitch on a 12.75ish
The r.p.m looks like 55
what diameter and pitch is ur propeller buddy?
whats your fuel burn at full throttle? (gallons per hour) i have the same engine, and it dies when its idling in nuetral....
i rebuilt my 91 70 it hauls ass. i love 2 stroke
Just bought an old boat... has a 1975 Johnson 70 horse...is it a good motor..

Prob 35mph to like 40mph! Nice motor!
I got 2 of those , 1 on a 72 ranger and 1 on a 82 kajun
What yr is the motor dude
music to my ears
Do you have the engine user manual?

hello, what year is it? What is the approximate consumption per hour?
1995. Would use 1.5 tanks for a whole days outings.
how fast
And what was the top speed?
Didn’t sound like it was wound all the way up??
I have the same motor but why is mine doesn’t accelerate on full throttle? Same speed half throttle and full throttle. Seems like something is blocking when in the water.
Did you find out what’s going on. I’m having that issue now, but mine is a 2000 model. Sluggish on plane and no power. Would do only 9-11mph
Good coils, everything listed is new. carb kits, fuel lines, spark plugs, fuel filter, and new fuel filter but does the same!
I have a 1994 just like what’s in the video on my 16-5 v bottom center console skiff boat she hails ass does like 50 something
You never said how fast this went

My ear says 38 40 mph. Sweeeet motor
Can you please share with me the prop size used in this test?
Thanks so much
I am also Interested in the prop size and pitch
Stock one on mine is 13.25 × 17
its cause it full injected put trim all the way down an pump ball an use choke. you cjust have to work the air out of the line.
