    idle timing after carb rebuild

    J60TLETD. Success for me, I rebuilt the carbs using my manual. It was not hard at all and I'm really glad I got my hands dirty rather than taking it somewhere to have it done. This board gave me lots of confidence to tackle this myself. I'm feeling good. Now, after the rebuild, I ran a can...

    J60TLETD - vro fuel pump

    have a 93 johnson 60 hp J60TLETD with VRO. My shop manual shows that an air leak in the fuel pump diaphram can cause wet plugs, air getting into system that can cause difficult restarts, as well as dying at low throttle (fuel starvation symptoms). These exactly describe the 'ghosts' I've been...

    Tiny Tach for J60TLETD

    I read on outboardrepair.com about the 'tiny tach' and was wondering if one of the three models they sell would work on my 3 cylinder J60TLETD. I need to install a tach, but don't have room on my dash for a regular sized one. They Tiny Tach would fit nicely. Any thoughts on this tachometer...
