hello All,
newbie to the forum..........Having said that i really need some help!
I have a 2000 Johnson 130 J130PLSSS. I Blew the motor and lower unit last year in boca grande. Got the motor rebuilt ( Supposedly by a mechanic). Finally got a lower unit 3 mths ago. installed it. wouldnt run right so I rebuilt the carbs and changed the reeds to CCM reeds. ( A mechanic helped me out). Yesterday took the boat out and it ran like a scalded dog, Idled amazing, couldnt of been happier.......then about 2 hrs into the trip at at 4000 rpm, something felt different and sounded different........5 minutes later......Overheat alarm. Shut the motor down. waited 10 minutes. she fired right back up and when i went to give it throttle it sounded like loud clanking... likes rocks in the motor. it seemed to idle fine.limped back to the dock. This morning i took offthe cylinder head covers and noticed a teal green smudge all inside of the #2 cylinder. all others seemed fine. no scoring, no missing pieces, etc. Turned the flywheel and all 4 pistons moved up and down. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
I said supposedly earlier because he was supposed to of had replaced a piston and when i took the covers off they all looked the same!! oh and they all had dark black deposits on the tops of the pistons
