Hi gang. Hoping for some insight on a sudden noise that began today.
i have a 1983 Johnson 90 horse with a jet leg on it. Has been running fine and then today I was cruising down river at full throttle and suddenly the motor started ticking in the top end. One second it was fine, the next second it was ticking. It speeds up and slows down according to RPM, and there’s no noticeable change in performance.
I thought maybe it was a spark issue so while while it was running I leaned over and pushed on the spark plug wire and got quite a jolt.
The tell tale is pissing water just fine. Any thoughts?
im gonna run a compression test tonight and I’ll get some video of it running tomorrow. Thanks for any help!
