    Temperature alarm goes off as soon as you turn on the ignition.

    Did you figure out what this is? Mine (Same year & HP) just started doing the same thing.

    Warning Alarm on Johnson 1992 120HP

    My warning alarm has been going off and appears to be a fuel flow restriction because there is no performance loss. However, it also is not as loud as it used to be when I would have an issue with something and it stops making noise when I raise or lower my motor using the trim button. The...

    OMC Remote Control not locking in neutral

    I've been struggling to get my OMC remote controls from a 1992 120 Johnson to lock into neutral or the "trolling speed" consistently. I usually have to move the handle around to get the engine to start and then be very diligent to keep it at low speeds at the same time. This has gradually...

    1992 Johnson 120HP idle/low speed issue

    I am running a '92 Johnson J120TLAND. I've had some issues with my motor sputtering and killing when running at low speeds or idle. However, this only happens when my engine is trimmed down. I give a little more throttle or trim the motor to prevent it from happening. I cleaned and rebuilt...

    '92 120HP Johnson with a knock

    Just got my 92 Johnson 120TLAND back with a replaced kill switch. They said they heard a bit of a knock which definitely wasn't there before I removed the flywheel and checked the woodruff key? What's the best way to make sure that my timing is set? I've read a few different methods and it's...

    1992 120 Johnson Not Starting

    I recently got stranded on the river due to my Johnson not starting. The starter engages and spins the flywheel but it isn't turning the motor over. The voltage drops from 12 to <10 while trying to start it. I've checked this with both the voltage reading on my fish finder and a voltmeter...

    Crestliner Color Codes

    I'm trying to find a PPG color for a 2002 Crestliner Almond Color. I believe it's the base color of my Sportfish 1850. I've taken the code to the local automotive shops and they aren't able to find anything that matches. The Crestliner Paint Codes doc only gives the below Sierra 7881 Doe OR...

    1992 Johnson Lower Unit Grinding

    Last weekend at a really low speed i hit my lower unit on a rock. There is a scratch on the lower unit but not much visible damage to the LU or the prop. It then became really loud and almost sounded like a light but continuous grind that increased the overall noise coming out of the motor...

    Taking on water slowly

    Hi All, Last summer my boat would take on water very slowly. I'd pump every time I moved spots and there would be water there. I've checked for cracks and unsealed holes at the stern. The only place I'd think it would possibly take on water is the live well overflow which I changed methods...

    1992 Johnson Trim Sender

    Hey all, I have been rewiring most of my dash to clean it up and get a better understanding of how it works. I'm trying to get the trim gauge to work and believe the sender is bad. I checked the wires at the dash and don't get an ohm reading on sending wire but do get reading on the ground...

    Trailer Leveling

    Last fall I had to have the axle repaired on my trailer and when they put it back together they flipped the leaf springs to give me more clearance. We bought a new vehicle this spring and I'm trying to determine the ball mount that I need so it can travel level. My issue comes with the tongue...

    1990 Crestliner Phantom rebuild

    Started my winter project to rebuild the 1990 Crestliner Phantom I purchased in 2008. When I bought the boat it came with a soft floor down the middle so I replaced a few sections with treated plywood and cheap carpet. The past couple years other areas of the floor began to get soft so I decided...

    1992 Johnson 120 HP Stalls

    I recently rebuilt my carbs, had a power pack replaced, and put in new spark plugs. I'm still having an inconsistent issue while trying to get the motor started after it's had time to cool off. I will start the motor using choke with the idle lever up, once its started I will put the idle lever...
