The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
appears to be a problem with the fuel/oil pump, I put a 50:1 mix in the tank to be safe while testing. Went through a tank of fuel and the oil tank did not drop and the oil tank primer bulb remains rock hard, once I disconnected the oil line from the motor the primer bulb is soft and will pump...
I have 120-125psig on all 3 cylinders so motor the motor is good, if the VRO has failed it did so not long ago. Im going to mix a half tank at 50:1 and keep the VRO hooked up and see if the oil tank goes down.
The oil tank is full but it definitely has something to do with the VRO system because when I disconnect the tank sensor and the 3 wire plug the alarm stops. If I hook up either separately the alarm comes on.
I have a 1987 Johnson VRO70 model # J70TLCUR. I found the original high temp alarm in the control box burnt out. I replaced the alarm and now the alarm beeps on and off immediately once the ignition is turned on and I get a constant 12 volts to the alarm. I checked the oil tank sensor and the...
The keys do come out, I have two keys and both wont turn to the on position, just odd because had no previous issues, maybe one of the pins broke ??? I ordered a new switch, dont want to get stuck on the water with a sticky switch. I did open the box and yes it is tight but I ordered the OEM...
Im an electrician so I am good with the wiring aspect. I was wondering more if there is anything that would prevent the key form switching to the on position ? If the switch has failed, anyone know the OEM part numbert
Silly question but suddenly my ignition key switch seems "locked" or stuck in the off position and will not turn to the on or start position with both keys. I suspect the switch may be bad, Anyone had this problem ? Any easy fix ? Or am I buying a new ignition switch ?? Is there any lockout...
Hi All, Picked myself up a 16 foot bowrider project and I want to replace the carpet. I pulled the old carpet and the wood floors are in pretty good shape. Being a project I want something cost effective, Amazon has fairly decent carpet for the price but it has TPR backing and some say there may...
Hi all, picked myself up a semi-project 87 Doral Bowrider with a matching Johnson VRO70 model # J70TLCUR. I checked compression and put muffs on it and all appears to be good, 115-120 psig on all 3 cylinders. Person I purchased it from tells me he just had it serviced and he has not had any...
I finally got around to inspecting the starter, looks like it needs a new pinion / Bendix gear. The inside bushing is worn and falling apart. Anyone know where I can get a replacement, Im running into dead ends.
Thanks for the reply, Im 99% sure its internal in the starter because when I turn the key sometimes you just hear a "zing" sound and the starter gear does spin but will not raise to engage the flywheel. A little tap on the starter shaft gets her going. Maybe a flat spot or a weak solenoid ...
