Just wondering if anybody has ever pumped the oil out of the pan by removing the oil filter and then disconnecting the coil so it won't start the engine and cranking it over until the oil is removed.?? I am going to buy an oil pump for the dipstick eventually but I wanted to get on the water...
Im new to working on larger engines and this one is doing something I have never seen before. It begins to bog out at about 2000 rpm and above. It will idle perfectly I had recently rebuilt the carb and I can see that it is getting plenty of fuel. I replaced the coil and points. Any...

Well this last weekend wasn't too great but we still had some fun. Glad it didn't rip the hull wide open. The tree stump apparently pushed on the hull almost at the front of our 23ft IMP and ended up crushing the hull in the rear area. Once...
Well Im a proud new owner of a carb problem ; ), I need to know what all I need other than the carb kit for the Rochester Quadrajet. I want to make sure I completely ovehaul the carb. It leaks from the side here by the choke:<br /> http://opk.gotdns.org/carbandmotor/photos/photo8.jpg <br />She...
Has anybody ever converted from the choke system on any of these old johnsons to the primer system? I want a easier start and would want to know if this would bring it up to par. It starts fine but just not as quickly as I would like.
I have noticed that my battery is not being charged while the motor is running. Is this normal? Could this be a bad rectifier as in this case:<br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=28;t=041031#000000 <br /><br />I wasn't sure if this motor should be...
Can you fellas explain to me why in Joe's WOT procedure that idle timing isn't a concern:<br /> http://forums.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=28;t=010307#000001 <br /><br />Also what is normal operating temp for my 73 135 Johnson?
Freshly rebuilt motor having a strange problem. All new coils and I have spark on all 4. The spark seems kinda low on number 4 and unusually high on number 2. Can anobody please tell me what might be the problem. It runs great out of the water but today I took it to the lake and it bogs...
Hi everybody, Im usually in the Merc section but I finally got around to rebuilding my 135 Johnson (Merc is 1350).<br /><br />I had to have two cylindars bored to .30 and two remained at .20 with original pistons just new rings. My impeller was frozen onto the shaft and I couldn't remove it...
Well I thought somebody had already started a thread like this but couldn't seem to find it this time. So here it is fellas post a pic of your Sea Ray!<br /><br />Mine is a classic 1965 800:<br /> http://opk.gotdns.org/newboatwindshield/photos/photo1.jpg <br />...
Hi everyone I am finally getting around to fixing my Johnson 135 its a 1973. I have a scored one piston and rings. I am also going to overhaul the carbs and put new coils on it(The coils had bad rust). <br /><br />My question is this what else should I be thinking about completing with this...
http://opk.gotdns.org/Boat_0002.wmv <br /><br />Replaced some pistons, one cylindar bored, all rings and lots of luck. All parts from Clams and lots of good info.<br /><br />Thanks to all that helped.
It gets into reverse fine but just doesn't seem to have any strength to it. Any ideas?<br /><br />Goes great in forward and strong, FYI it is engaging into forward and reverse (it will not rotate either direction in reverse and only forward in forward), seems like the prop only spins one speed...
