Ok for basic info, but could be more detailed August 4, 2008
I have a Johnson 1986 15hp motor. Purchased this book to give me an idea how to undergo normal service and impeller replacement etc. For this the information is basic, but I got there. It does contain some good information with regards to outboard motor service and use, but there are important parts missing here and there. The book isnt terribly well organized but does have exploded parts diamgrams for most engines and sections. There is also some outdated information, particularly in relation to spark plug gaps. It lists 0.040" for most plugs, but since the late 80's OMC has recommended 0.030" spark plug gaps for most of their engines. Use the book only as a guide. It is not a step-by-step, detailed guide to fixing everything on an outboard, but useful as a starter nonetheless for those not familiar with older Johnson/Evinrude outboards.
 Need of specific information December 13, 2007
I needed information about the fuel system on 40 hp Johnson. This manual failed to cover this fuel system. Very basic information. Sad comment of being a factory manual.
 Very good repair manual August 9, 2007
Usually Clymer falls short on the repair books. This is not the case here. I found the material easy to locate, written in a clear manner with good diagrams, photos and sidebar information.
 Worst Technical Manual Ever Written March 13, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have owned and read countless technical/shop manuals over the years and this is hands-down the WORST of them all. The organization of subject matter is terrible. You don't know which chapter to look for what. The table of contents and index are of no use. The manual reads like a novel- in paragraph form. You'll find yourself reading through paragraphs of non-pertinent information to find a number your are looking for such as the specified ignition timing. The information in this book is also very incomplete at best. In fact, this book does not even list the maximum RPM range for the motors. One chapter refers the reader to Chapter 5 for maximum operating RPM range, but this information is nowhere to be found in Chapter 5, or anywhere else for that matter! There are plenty of other dissappointments such as reference to lousy black-and-white pictures to identify a single screw that's not even labeled. If you're looking for a book that reads like a supermarket pulp fiction novel that will give you very basic small engine 101 knowledge, this book might be for you. If you are looking for a manual you can actually use for technical reference, do not buy this book! You will be sorely dissappointed. Instead, try the book by Seloc.
Not enough July 26, 2004

This book has a pretty good trouble shooting section and wiring diagrams. BUT It has no index which makes it really hard to cut to the parts you need w/out having to wade through a bunch of stuff you don't need. The pictures are OK as far as they go but it'd be better with more short of what the engined look like on the boat (where most are serviced). There isn't much description of how a system ought to work other than the general one describing what a system should do, nothing about, say, how to get inside the power tilt to service it on the boat...rather its there but you have to read between the lines. Some Owners Maual type descriptiones would be more helpful.
