    If you get an AI response that you know to be incorrect. Respond back that "this motor doesn't have Water Passage Deflectors" or whatever. You'll instantly get a response: "You are correct, this motor doesn't have WPD's " Then it will go on to give you more BS.

    Appreciate your response R1 If you had to guess, what do you think might be causing the overheating?

    I really appreciate you trying to help. This issue is consuming my summer and I'm at a point where each one is precious. This AI stuff is going to get people killed. So much wrong information, I sure hope you younger smart guys get this AI sorted out before too long.

    Looked at numerous diagrams of the cylinder head and no indication of water deflectors. I'd be indebt if you could point me to a diagram. Model E70ELCEM. Thanks for your response.

    I'll take your advice and pull the sensor and test it. As far as the "Pressure Relief Valve" I'm not sure this motor has one. I think the spring and tstat work together to let more water in? I could be mistaken but I've looked at numerous diagrams of the cylinder head and never came across a...

    Thanks for your response. Thinking about it, I agree with your assessment. Since I have everything apart, I'll put a new set of reeds in and check the carb flange surfaces. Not sure where to look next. I'm thinking head gasket but I did another compression test after the latest overheat and it's...

    Thanks for your response. New OEM water pump installed with 6 vanes. Tell Tale moved to top of engine. When I had the lower unit and tstat removed I blew compressed air up through the water tube, down the tstat opening and up the tell tale hose. I ran a zip tie up through the idle relief holes...

    Removed the carbs and the intake. I can see light through the reeds on all three assemblies. Nothing broken, some more light shines through than others and number two assembly looks to have the biggest gap with a little warp (maybe?) Also, I'm getting some raw fuel in the airbox? Questions: Does...

    Thanks for your reply. New gaskets came in today. I'll install tomorrow and try to take the boat out for a spin. What do you think about timing? My motor calls for 19 degrees BTDC. Either 1990 or 91 they changed to 17 BTDC. Was there a SB regarding changing the 1989 model timing? I agree with...

    Lower unit not sealing?

    Hello all. Once again I come seeking wisdom, understanding and knowledge and thank you in advance for your consideration. Working on re-sealing the lower unit of a 1999 Johnson 200hp Ocean Runner 2 stroke J200PLEEN. I was informed on another thread that the lower unit is not the same year as...

    Shift shaft seal(s)?

    Working on the shift shaft cover for a 200hp Johnson (J200PLEEN). I removed one O ring from inside the cover. I'm sure that's the only one that was in there. The Sierra kit I purchased contains two O rings. The parts diagram shows two O rings go into the cover. I was able to get one ring into...

I removed the shift shaft cover before removing the water pump. The impeller was frozen to the drive shaft and I had to...

    Anybody know what these are?

    These are on the gunnels of my SeaNymph CC191 Striper. I think they might be bases for rod holders? Not sure. If they are I'd like to find the rod holders they work with. Any help appreciated. thanks rob
