If I remember correctly, he said the cylinder walls were good and In tolerance. He replaced the pistons and rings with new ones.

I purchased a 1979 Johnson from a guy who had said he rebuilt it, but it had sat for about year. Did a compression test before I purchased it was around 125 psi on all four cylinders. I have had the motor for about a year now and the compression is now at about 100-110 per cylinder. Is this low...

Well after taping up the exposed wire and moving the wire away from the flywheel. It is firing on all 4 cylinders! Thanks for your knowledge!

So while checking the values they match on both sides. But I did notice that one of the wires on the nonworking side had rubbed against the flywheel until the wire was showing I taped and moved the wire. Hopefully that was the issue.

So the stator is getting 515 ohms and the timer base is at 34 ohms

It is getting .3 ohms at each coil pack and .5 ohms from the power pack to the coil packs.

I will have to check that tomorrow.

When replaced the coils and the power pack I had to put new rubber boots a couple of the connectors be cause the old connectors had been cut off and the wires were spliced together. So today I broke one of the pins off the wire so I am waiting for new ones to come in. But it was not getting fire...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my Johnson V4 isn’t getting spark on one side? I replaced the coil packs and power pack. Would it be the stator or the timing base? Thanks.
