Re: 110 Johnson

I don't think there was a 1990 110, so first thing would be to check the model number. It's probably a late 1980s, when they did make them. <br /><br />The V4 was OMCs bread and butter, they are generally good motors. Check the thermostats & compression.

Re: 110 Johnson

They are excellent engines. I rebuilt my 1986 110 johsnon 4 years ago that I picked up from a friend. I just took it off my boat to put a 130 yamaha in its place. The motor has 110 compression on all 4 cyl after 400 hours of 5800 rpm. They are great engines. I have a 150 60 degree but it is not as dependable as my 110. I fish a few miles offshore and the 110 has never let me down. I live in central florida and fish 52 weeks a year. You can't go wrong with a 1990. Parts are inexpensive. Plus once the engine is warm you could pull start it if your battery dies or starter dies. I can not do that with my 95 intruder. Too much plastic on the top.

Billnicole,<br /><br />The 110 is an excellent engine. It is one of many different horsepower ratings of the venerable 90 degree "crossflow" V-4 block.<br /><br />That series of engines has been around forever and I believe they did not stop production until around 2000.
