My buddy has an IX5 and it definitely doesn't need to be deployed to work. We had to change out the batteries the other day and when the new ones were in, we tested it with the motor up on the deck. It looked like you could lose a finger if you weren't careful. Good luck bigcreekdad. It will be a sweet unit once you get it sorted out.
I own an Xi5. Yes it does have to be deployed

Yup. Needs to be locked down in the vertical postion to work.

Tail makes it look like a Splake to me.
Edit: Didn’t realize it was a Zombie post. I really have to start checking the date.

Talked to our local marine dealer. They lost all their orders from lodges and camps, but ended up selling out everything anyway. People were flocking in and buying up everything they had. They ran out of inventory a good month early.

You could always install a keel guard.

Here’s a link to rebuilding 1976 to 1992 Carbs for 6 hp OMC outboards. There are 3 video links in the article. The one on reassembling or the one on reinstalling should have carb setting information in it. https://www.boats.net/blog/johnson-6hp-outboard-carburetor-rebuild

Cold Starting mixture is too lean. Check your carb settings.

When you did the compression test did you pull it over at least five times with the throttle held wide open? Less than 5 pulls will not give an accurate reading on most 2 stroke motors.

Do you have a compression tester?

Primer not working?

Our bill went up even though we consumed less than last years bill. We did alot during off peak, laundry etc. Now at the so called “ Covid special rate “ our monthly bill was up by almost $20 even though we consumed less then last year. Just another way for Hydro One to screw a bit more money out of us.

Probably just a faulty sensor in one of the wheels. I’ve had the same problem with my 05 Silverado. The sensor either needs adjustment or replaced. On mine, as you slow and are about to come to a stop, the abs kicks in because the sensor stops picking up the wheel rotation and thinks it’s locked up. It will also cause an abs warning light.

I had a 2007 Crestliner 16’ Fishhawk with a 60 hp. It had a 55lb 12 volt trolling motor. Used it for years with no problems. I could troll all day without issue.

Oldman. I owe you. I guess the idle screw was turned all up. Tried it quick without water and it sounded great. Tomorrow I'll put it to the test in water.
Thank you!!
You’re welcome.
That was my first guess. The previous owner probably tinkered with it at one point.

I’d check the idle screws and mixture screw on the carb first before assuming a seal leak.

Looked at a online parts diagram for the 2000 8hp Johnson. It looks to be the same model carb as in the video above.

It depends on your land title. I live on a lake and my title stipulates the end of my property line is where the water touches the shore. Other’s can have a fixed property line that may not coincide with the water line.
