1994 Johnson 150. 5 Cylinders 90 PSI. One Cylinder 105 PSI and the plug is extremely fouled! Oil is not delivered to each cylinder separately so why one cylinder? Changed plugs ( as I did at the start of the season ) and she runs much better! I don't want it to happen again. Could Startron Fuel...
Just bought a used 25 e-tec with no manuals. On the oil cap there is a warning that says it's programmed for XD-25, XD-30, XD-50. I want to use the XD-100. What has to be done and can only a dealer do it?
Thanks.
Voltage regulator caught fire last year. Put it out with fire extinguisher, nothing but problems since!

after putting everything back together...
1996 90 HP Running fine for 20 mins on muffs. Replace faulty kill switch and a key switch that had an ant nest in it and now all it does is backfire. Good spark,nothing else has changed. I'm going out of my mind!!! I just want to fix this P.O.S. and get it out of my yard.
Any suggestions. Could...
I have a 1996 90 hp that starts and runs fine for a short while. Then the engine just dies. Thought it was water in the fuel but switched to a separate 6 gal tank and the same thing happened. Took the engine cover off to feel the heads and placed my hand on the flywheel and almost burned my skin...
