My 1996 Johnson 112 SPL randomly stops running while under power running down the lake. It starts right up and runs great every time out but randomly will just completely die then starts right back up. I'm positive it's not a fuel problem because it goes from running smoothly to completely dead...
I found about 1/2 cup of water in the lower unit of my 1996 Johnson 112 SPL the day before vacation. I changed the gear oil and ran it all week at the lake. When I checked it again there was only a trace of water when I cracked the lower plug. I drained the gear oil again and the oil looked good...
I have a 1996 Johnson 112 SPL that starts right up and runs great 95% of the time. Occasionally it will cut out when running down the lake. It doesn?t matter at what RPM. It?s like the key switch has been turned off then immediately turned back on so when this happens at 3000 to 4000 RPMs you...
I have a 55AP MinnKota Trolling Motor and the cable broke right at the steering motor housing from wear and tear at the bend. I made a quick repair with wire crimp connectors at the boat ramp and right now it works fine but this is a short term fix since there was so little wire to work with. I...
I have a 1996 Johnson 112 SPL and have been running a 13.75 X 15 Aluminum prop OEM P/N, 391198. I would like to upgrade to a stainless steel. The boat is a Seaswirl Striper 1730 and is loaded with batteries and fishing gear, it's heavy. The aluminum prop I have does a good job but needs...
I've had a "no oil alarm / light" come on a few times after making a long run down the lake then slowing for a no wake zone. Problem is my 1996 Johnson 112 SPL does not have a oil reservoir or pump, it's strickly pre-mix. The owners manual and repair manual give info just for this alarm on oil...
My 96 Johnson 112 SPL runs well at 4900 WOT but I've lost some bottom end making it slower getting on plane. A friend suggested my old prop may be the problem although it appears OK with only a few slight dings. I noticed while looking at new props that most outlets suggest a 13 1/4 X 17 prop...
Does anyone know if there are any downloads available for the Lowrance Global 100 GPS that shows lake contour lines? I see the MapCreate Series 4 is available that includes the IMS SmartMap but I'm not sure if it includes lake contours or if can be used to download other maps. I'm looking for...
My 1996 Johnson 112 starts fine at home with water hose and muffs but at the boat ramp on the trailer, it only turns over a time or two then no power as if the battery is dead. Jumping over from trolling motor batteries doesn't help. I have checked all battery / starter connections and load...
Can anyone explain X dimention in laymans terms? How would you check to be sure it is correct or is there ever a need to after the initial installation of the motor?
I saw a topic posted about worn props and made me think about mine. My original prop from 1997 appears to be in good shape although a little paint worn off. I know aluminum props will flex to some degree compared to SS but do alum props flex any more after several years of use?
I've got random low compression on one cylinder of my Johnson 112 causing a misfire. I'm pretty sure the problem comes from years of not decarbing the engine and the piston ring is sticking. Sometimes it runs 100% then other times that one cylinder doesn't fire when first coming up on plane...
My 1996 Johnson 112 SPL is getting water into the lower gearcase. I drained the lube and applied 5 psi of air pressure for several minutes and it held with no leaks. I increased the pressure to 15 psi then shifted into forward and turned the prop. I lost pressure. Checked for leaks with soapy...
My 96 Johnson 112 SPL was running rough at idle and stalling going into gear. I rebuilt carbs and first time out it started easy and ran smooth at idle but still stalled going into gear. First time up on plane all ok but afterwards one cylinder cuts out but finally fires. Ran great everytime...
Any idea where I could buy a OMC piston stop tool (part# 317002) or orifice driver (part# 317002)? If not, is there anything that could be used in there place? Thanks in advance.
