    1995 115hp Johnson OceanPro V4 Shift Shaft Linkage - How to reconnect

    Don't know if this will help, but I recently went through this with my buddy on a 1997 115. We removed the shift cable from the linkage, removed the four bolts that hold the fuel bracket on and moved it to the side, and then we could adjust the shift shaft while looking at the pin/rod, etc..

    Agreed and why we decided to do it a different way. We're taking our boats out today (now). He's going to meet me at our club dock, we're going to tie it up, rev it up and see what we get. With the help of my DTMVD pictured below we will see what we have. What do you guys think it will be...

    Recently I posted this thread about troubleshooting a sudden no spark on all cylinders that happened to my friends motor after being shut down normally on the water. After we solved that problem, we decided to check the timing as we replaced enough ignition components to warrant it in our...

    Ignition Coil Test Results

    Volvo 4.3GL/GS Fuel Pump Wiring: Can Someone Look For Me?

    I need someone with a 4.3GL or 4.3GS to check the wiring on their fuel pump. I'm replacing mine, and the PO apparently cobbled together what I have. See this thread. I have all the new connector parts and pump from Volvo, but nothing is marked to tell me the polarity. I need to know where...

    I talked to my BIL tonight and he backed out of a marathon because my sister registered to run in it. Granted she is an avid runner, but I guess they're more competitive than I thought. His excuse was to watch their kids, but deep down I think he was worried about getting smoked. Too funny...
