Pulled the head. Lower cylinder seems fine but upper one has a scratch which I am hoping can be repaired by honing. Will also light hone the bottom cylinder as well.
Just freed a new to me weather seized 1986 20 hp Johnson long shaft and ran it at elevated idle with a concentrated mixture of Seafoam. While idling has improved with running, I am getting only 60 psi compression on both cylinders and 120 psi if I pour a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder. The...
Just purchased the subject 35 hp 1977 Evinrude long shaft. Previous owner bought it from a guy who claims it lost spark for no apparent reason and then this guy cuts and splices in wires connecting the coils, power pack and stator assembly. I am quite suspect of the wiring and am looking for an...
I recently bought a used 1996 200 hp Evinrude lower unit from a E200txedr and was hoping it would be a direct swap with my 2000 Johnson 150 hp counter rotating. I am trying to make a change since prop selection for the counter rotating is limited. All looks the same except the shift rod and...
Will a 1996 Evinrude 200 hp with a 25 inch leg clockwise rotation bolt up directly to a 2000 Johnson 150 hp with a 25 inch leg and counterclockwise rotation. All replies are appreciated?
I have a prop (part number 390821) on my 2000 Johnson Oceanpro 150 hp engine. This prop is a counter clockwise rotating one. My calculated slip is close to 30% using the tachometer and GPS speed over ground information. I have called Solas, gave them the prop part number from the hub and they...
Largely because of what I have read on this site, l am led to believe that I have excessive prop slip. My WOT engine speed is 5200 RPM and my GPS boat speed is 36 miles per hour. The engine is in excellent mechanical condition and according to Solas the 14.5 by 19 pitch prop is theirs from the...
My boat sank last week. After running the engine in my driveway with a full can of Seafoam mixed in a gallon of fuel I took her on a sea trial yesterday. The engine, a 2000 Johnson 150 Oceanpro, ran quite well, but I am getting no tach readout from a new tach and new engine to remote control...
If an engine with a prop 14.5 by 19 pitch at wot gives 4900 rpm, what should I expect if I replace that prop with a 15 by 15 pitch? All replies are appreciated.
I have a 2000 Ocean Pro 150 hp engine which I could not be happier with except for fuel consumption. At cruise on a Glastron v216 with 25 gallons of fuel and one passenger, I calculate fuel burn at 2.5 miles per imperial gallon. While I realize that is about typical for this engine, does anyone...
