Re: jonson 88 spl ? only 60 psi in all4 cyl and running fine
Thanks for the reply JB. I got it in the water today and it performed beautifully, I think. I hat WOT stats of 5400 rpm 40 mph. Idles fine at 1000 rpm. It jumps right up and sounds great. Starts on a turn and a push and feels like It has full power. I just don't get it, the 60 psi thing. I think possibly the gauge a borrowed. Ill try again w another. Water was seen on cyl head (little beads) and in cowel right below #4 when I was running with plug not all the way tight (tight enough-dont think too far into that one, HA). And your right about believing what people say. This is the same motor I ran on pure oil and seafoam b/c previous owner said fuel was on reserve main was empty (which was true so I oiled it up but had yet to gas up) but the lines are crossed under the Stern Box which had me for a while. WAY TOO MUCH SMOKE but the dang thing ran!!! I don't get that either. I must have a real beast here! Thanks
