    1992 johnson 115hp

    Re: 1992 johnson 115hp Correct. If the VRO unit has been removed or disabled, you will need to pre mix your fuel. A call to the previous owner will verify this. I would reccomend getting a factory OEM service manual. It will pay for itself a million times over. Check ebay, or...

    1984 70hp top cylinder spark seems off

    Re: 1984 70hp top cylinder spark seems off It is leading you to the PP, but due to its expensive price tag, I would probably test it none the less before purchasing. These ignition components are often non refundable. Do you have, or have access to, a DVA meter? Also, have you checked the...

    Re: Carb orifice question Fixed jets (orifice) are not adjustable. The fixed jets need to be removed carefully, with a made special tool as shown by FR below. Simply make it with a belt sander. They can be easily damaged by removing them incorrectly. They can get blocked with crud or...

    Re: 1993 70HP Rude, vro disco'd.. believe to be in slow mode A remote control refers to the box to the right of the driver which has the key switch and throttle control. 'Tstat' is slang or short form for thermostat. Lazy typer!

    Starting Problems

    Re: Starting Problems Im sure then that you will find your issue using the drop technique Ezeke stated. If the wires are nicked, cut, poor insulation, or they crunch when flexed, they are surely shot. Also dont just look at those connections, you have to physically take them off and shine...

    Rebuild Carbs or Not?

    Re: Rebuild Carbs or Not? The judgement you used to rebuild your carbs was the better judgement. "Squirting it down and changing the gaskets" would have done nothing, they need to be completely dissasembled and rebuilt, getting into each and all orifices and thoroughally cleaning the jets...

    1990 90 HP Johnson Overheating

    Re: 1990 90 HP Johnson Overheating If the motor is new to you, I would definately replace the impeller, inspecting the impeller housing and replacing if need be. Do the thermostat at the same time as well, so you can boat with confidence that you will not overheat. It also makes it easier to...

    Re: 66 40hp big twin ?motor flusher? This type of barrel is handy as well, easily folded up after use. However, if you feel you would like the attachment, you could also make one yourself. The tempos are often hard to find and expensive once found...

    Spark to plugs

    Re: Spark to plugs Weak or no spark will cause the engine to run rough, or simply not run at all. Depending on the size of the motor, the spark should jump the gap on the inline spark tester a good 1/4" to 7/16" with a bright blue ZAP!!! Remove all plugs when testing, grounding out the leads...

    Re: 2000 150hp Johnson Ocean Pro Lower Unit The recommended oil is 80-90 outboard gear oil, it has additives to protect the lower if you have water intrusion. Always replace the washers on the vent and drain screw when changing as they are the #1 cause of water intrusion. Go to your local...

    Load Resistor

    Evening Guys. When checking the DVA output on the orange wires from the power pack while connected to the ignition coils, lets say you should have a reading of at least 150V or more. If the reading is low, you disconnect the orange wire from the ignition coil for that cylinder and reconnect it...

    1968 Evinrude 6 hp hard to start?

    Re: 1968 Evinrude 6 hp hard to start? What is the condition of the coils? Cracked and deteriorated insulation will make them useless such as these. If you replace them, align the coil heels with the machined surfaces on the stator plate, this is important, as FR has preached. Use Champion...

    1975 johnson 85 hp, wont fire

    Re: 1975 johnson 85 hp, wont fire Welcome to iboats. The reason it ran fine at first was because you were on muffs, and there was no backpressure on the exhaust. You cannot trust the way an outboard runs on muffs. When you present backpressure, things change. As stated, I would start with a...
