4.0 out of 5 stars JOHNSON/EVINRUDE OUTBOARDS 1971-89
A handy guide for the person wishing to know more about how their outboard operates, how to care for the same and plenty of good hints. Would be also suitable for a person wanting to take the engine apart and rebuild, written in simple style with good illustrations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Novice
The condition of the book was exactly as advertised and I have no complaints about customer service. I am a fair automotive mechanic but I know very little about working on outboard motors. I am happy to find a book that covers both my 2hp Johnson and my 15 hp Evinrude but this is hard to follow at times. I could give it 4 stars if it had a good Troubleshooting guide.

This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
It doesnt beat an original factory service manual by any means, buit I must say this one is better than the Clymer manual covering a similar range of outboards. The information is a little old now in some sections and could use updating, but probably your best choice in the 3rd party manual offerings.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me rebuild a broken outboard w/o any prior knowledge, November 23, 2007
This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
This book helped me rebuild a broken outboard w/o any prior knowledge. Well worth its weight in gold, not really, but its a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough book as described, May 1, 2009

This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
This book was exactly what I was looking for to tune up a couple of old boat motors. The book outlines very detailed steps and illustrations to help explain how to operate on the outboard motors.

3.0 out of 5 stars I kept ordering a 71 manual, which this is listed as, and kept getting a 73. Go figure, July 11, 2011

product mismarked. OK, if you have a 73 or later model. Not so good if you have a 72.

This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
This book was received in reasonable shipping time & it did help me in changing my points & condensers in my outboard motor so we could use it on vacation. My only complaint would be the information on some pages are a little faded probably due to publication.

1.0 out of 5 stars Johnson/Evinrude manual to vague, September 13, 2009
This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
This manual needs more detail on the motors it claims to cover for repairs. I needed more of a step by step instruction. I am not a beginning mechanic. A beginner would be so lost they would burn the manual! I thought about doing that but it cost too much to use for the fireplace!

1.0 out of 5 stars still waiting for refund!!, August 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
I ordered repair manual for my 6 hp Johnson outboard motor, was sent another that I cannot use. I returned the incorrect manual with the understanding I would receive a refund on the postage paid to return the manual they mistakenly sent me, to date--no refund.

I wouldn't recommend this supplier to anyone in the future, so far they don't live up to their word.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a manual, August 9, 2007
This review is from: Johnson/Evinrude Outboards, 1-2 Cylinders, 1973-89 (Seloc's Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Tune-Up and Repair Manual) (Paperback)
This is not an owner's manual for the product. The blurb is confusing. Probably not a good item to buy on line, it is hard to see what you are getting.
