    Johnson J90PLSIF Sleeve Question

    A buddy of mine has the motor in the thread title that has a bad cylinder. As in cracked sleeve bad cylinder. The other cylinders/pistons look good so it may be worth repariing IF the block, crank, etc are serviceable. I'm not real familliar with the 60 degree V4s but did rebuild my '95...

    Part number or "real name" for white plastic carb linkage clips

    I've been through the BRP parts catalog and I cannot find a P/N for the white plastic clips on the carburetors that the linkage snaps into. I'd be very grateful if somebody has that number and would let me know. I'm resurrecting a '73 115 and one of those broke while I was removing the carbs...

    Engine suggestions - Alweld 21' escort

    Guys, I'm looking to do some toy swapping. I've got a Lowe Husky 20' jon that's reached the end of the line for me. It's a great boat but I'm tired of the flat bottom and relatively narrow hull. Here is a link to the boat I'm looking at: http://www.alweld.com/escort_bay_boat.html I just...

    1995 115 Crossflow - Miss and fuel pump question

    Guys, just got through the break in period on a fresh rebuild of my '95 115 J115TLEOR. It was originally a jet motor but I changed over to a propped lower. Carbs were rebuilt during the overhaul and all fuel lines from the tank back replaced. Compression is 120 on each cylinder, strong spark...

    '89 175 spark issue

    I'm helping a friend with a powerhead swap on a 1989 175. Swap is done and I was doing the last checks before we fired it up and found no spark on #4 cylinder. Stator checks good (175v DVA) and the no spark issue moves with the powerpack to coil wire when I move the wire to a different coil...

    Primer leak by? '95 115 crossflow

    Finished the rebuild and I'm almost done with the 10 hour break-in. The ony issue I have left is a weird miss between say 1500 and 2500 rpms. Good spark on all 4 plugs, timing checks good per the timing procedure in the "Top Secret File" and I soaked/cleaned/rebuilt carbs during the rebuild...

    '95 115 -minor issues after rebuild

    I just finished overhauling a 95 Johnson 115 crossflow. I have a couple of minor issues to fix (plug wires, small fuel leak) but I do have one thing that is driving me nuts. I'm leaking water at the front of the powerhead under the carbs. I can't see any leaks along the gasket so I'm not sure...

    '94 115 rebuild - is it worth doing?

    I picked up a '94 115 from a buddy for $100 this morning. It has low compression on one cylinder and no lower unit but I wanted it for the midsection/power tilt and trim to put on the '73 115 runner that I bought on Saturday. From what I read on here it looked like the easiest/cheapest way to...

    '80 75 to '77 115 - harness compatibility?

    Getting ready for a (hillbilly) upgrade. Found a '77 115 for a little bit of nothing and I'm picking it up this weekend. Boat currently has a 1980 75 hp Evinrude on it (model ERLCSA) with the big red connector from the controls harness to the motor harness. Anybody know if my current boat...

    '88 9.9 driiving me crazy!

    Motor started running a bit rough on a trip. A couple of days later it wouldn't start - no spark. Powerpack checked bad (used DVA and resistance checks from the CDI website). Replaced pack and got spark back. Motor fired right up. Now, though, it falls on it's face at about 3/4 throttle...

    '80 E'rude 75 E75ERLCSA Dropping Cylinder

    Just rebuillt this motor last summer. It's been running well until recently. It intermittenly will lose a cylinder for a few minutes, then it comes back. Finally did it where I had a chance to pull the cowling and by pulling plug wires determined it's the #2 cylinder. I'm thinking either a...

    1990 155 Tilt and Trim Install

    I purchased a T&T unit off of a 1990 155 to install on my 1980 75horse. I had a 3 wire trim-only unit on it, but the new unit is a 2 wire set up. I don't have the control box for the new unit, but in doing some research on the boards it looks like all I really need is the two relays that come...

    Rebuild complete - Thanks everyone!

    I posted a thread earlier on a rebuild I was contemplating. (http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=275576&highlight=E75ERLCSA) I got the rebuild done and put it on the water for the first time this evening. Ran like a champ for the first 3000RPM hour and then did the same for the 4000RPM...

    Fuel Jets or Air Jets in my carbs....

    My Boyesen reeds just came in and the instructions tell me which jets to replace and with what sizes, but I'm confused on which type of jets I have in my carbs. They list 2 options in the instructions, one for carbs with "idle air jets" controlling idle and one for carbs with "low speed fuel...

    Stupid tune up question

    To check timing advance , I need to be able to run my motor (1980 E'rude 75) at 5200 RPM in gear. I don't have a test wheel and don't think it's safe to be fooling with the timing light while running up river with the flywheel exposed:D Can I do this with it on the trailer (I don't think I can...

    Difference in OMC 70hp and 75hp heads

    I found a used head for my rebuild project, but it's from a 1983 70 horse. Part number for my 75 horse head is 0323682 and the part number for the 70 horse head is 0323681. Does anyone know the difference between the two and/or if I can use the 70 head on my 75 with no ill effects? Thanks...

    '80 Evinrude E75ERLCSA 75hp Rebuild Question

    Hi, I'm new here and just had a couple of quick questions about a rebuild I'm about to do. I blew the wristpin bearings out of my motor and sucked them up into the combustion chamber, scoring #2 cylinder wall badly and pitting the head. The block is at the machine shop now waiting to have all...
