Hello everyone thanks for any advice you have given me in the past but know I have one more question to ask. My motor has two power packs on it and my question is can I convert the two packs to a single power pack like most v4s. The power packs are mounted on each side of the piston covers close to the power coils. I think that both of them are bad and don't want to have to buy two of them if I don't have too. Thanks

Have you done any trouble shooting on your engine?
Compression, spark and fuel delivery?

OK, let's regroup. Get the facts right first. There is no 1996 140 Johnson.

Daviet yes I have done all that I have a few more posts on here that tells all that I have done to this motor. It has good compression it has spark and I have rebuilt the carbs once cleaned them three times and still wont fire on 1 and 4. Now daselbee there may not be a 1996 140 but this motor started out a 1992 112spl it had a bad bearing on the crankshaft so I bought a 1996 115 or 125 power head not really sure what size it is so. I just know I am getting feed up with working on it I have had it for 6 months now and still wont run right.
