In reverse, the propellor is pulling the motor away from the boat, this is the same direction as the motion you get when you tilt the motor up for transport. Check the motor mount, especially the motor tilt mechanism to make sure nothing is excessively worn, bent or loose. Maybe the latch that's supposed to hold the motor in the run position isn't working right - that could be bad news if it lets the motor drop down while the boat is on the trailer.

1957 johnson outboard 10 hp fuel mixture ratio

https://www.google.com/search?q=1957+johnson+outboard+10+hp+fuel+oil+ratio

What is the mix ratio for a Johnson outboard motor?

Any Johnson outboard motor built since 1964 requires a 50/1 fuel ratio. Motors built prior to that date require a 32/1 ratio, with the exception of a few fishing motors built prior to 1955 that use a 16/1 ratio.

1996 70 hp johnson outboard, when put in reverse the motor lifts up when given a little speed and goes back down when you let off

If it does not have Power tilt, the tilt lever is either not in the run position or the mechanism is bound up. Look for a hook shaped that engages your tilt rod (the rod that sets the tilt angle in the 4 or 5 holes in your transom bracket. BTW no rod, no reverse lock.

How do i replace the water pump in a 2005 150 hp evinrude outboard motor

Take the cowling off. Also drop the foot. There wil be a stainless linkage rod that runs the length of the motor that you will have undo to drop the foot. The water impeller will be inside a stainless casing that you will have to disassemble.

1974 johnson outboard motor 25hp stalls when hiting high end

Not familiar with that specific motor but had similar vintage smaller HP Johnsons. From my experience it sounds like it could be that the high speed carb adjustment is too lean. What I would try is running the backing off the high speed screw 1/4 turn to 3/4 turn, then test. If works better, screw back in in 1/8 turn increments until the problem recurs, then back out 1/4 turn and leave it there.
