    96 Johnson 150 v6 not idling

    4/14/22 Update: Replaced optical sensor. runs much cleaner, however timing lever still needs to be cracked to stay running. even if motor has ran for about 10 minutes. will stall if i lower the timing advance lever completely. Does not take nearly as much advance to stay on. The only other thing...

    Understood, as the boat is in water I can not get behind it to work on it unless it is trimmed up, I tend to work on it with it down and hanging off the back a bit lol

    As for the fuel fitting, do you happen to know where I can find a replacement? I’ve had no luck, only finding the version for the vro.

    96 Johnson 150 v6 not idling

    Agreeable, did not know there was a specific gap to test for spark with. New to me and thank you for the information. So having new wires, do I start with coils or power pack, or more testing needed, such as moving the coils. I will say that when doing the plug wires, the coils definitely appear...

    96 Johnson 150 v6 not idling

    Here are some images of the fitting. the image of it together was a failed attempt at plastic welding it. unfortunately the plastic supplied with the welder is not fuel rated and did not hold up, so came back apart. The image of the fuel pump has a metal version of the same fitting.

    will check this when I get home this evening. might as well do a compression test while at it. Have no fuel at the moment due to the broken fitting. And have no luck finding a replacement part unless purchasing a new fuel pump kit.

Plugged the end with a finger and primed the system via the bulb. upon removing my finger has a very strong fuel output. Now that said, i can more then...
