    Johnson 3 cyl 70 hp, 1986. No vacuum at one carburator

    Sealing rings on crank, lower main seal, Reed valves, manifold gasket, case halves seal, carb gasket. All possible causes. I'm sure there are others I am missing. It's been a long day and my brain is in pain fog.

    Johnson vs merc vs Chrysler?

    I'd say no to all. Spend some dollars and buy something less than 15 years old. No on ever said boating is inexpensive.

    Help! 1992 Johnson Tracker 60hp pro series

    It's the 102 that's worrisome. Personally I prefer those to be within 5 psi. Being out almost 10 psi means something is beginning to be an issue. Just my opinion. Everyone has one.

    Help! 1992 Johnson Tracker 60hp pro series

    Look in the middle spark plug boot. You will see a little spring like wire coiled in there. It needs to be oriented to stick on the end of the plug. That should allow you to test spark. Your compression readings are less than optimal.

    Help! 1992 Johnson Tracker 60hp pro series

    This needs to start with an open air gap spark check. Spark should jump 7/16" with a nice blue snap. Also need values of compression test. Post results and someone will give next steps. It's a waste of time to do anything until those two procedures are completed.

    #3 fuel injector code

    No, I would just send the next broke one I replace. It seems every two or three weeks one of my customers has a bad one. I take care of many boats with etecs on them. They were very popular in our area.

    NLA shift cutout switch retrofit options

    So, what are folks doing when they run into the shift cutout switches from an '86 ere MCM200 serial 0B452878 with the 2bbl mercarb 305cid. Any quick way to tell if this switch is the "new" style or "old" style. 86 new and old. The parts diagram is not clear. If it has the newer style...

    #3 fuel injector code

    Replace injector and be done with it. Edit to add: inspect all the wiring in that circuit to make sure you dont have a faulty connector or broken wire. But, you will find a bad injector in the end. As it heats up it opens the circuit. I replace one a week it seems.

    Radio reception in a big metal morton building

    How, and what type of antenna do I need to install to be able to get AM and hopefully FM? I can get one AM channel good enough to listen to some days. No FM at all. Any radio guys out there? I am hoping I don't have to put it on the roof.

    2005 Johnson 90hp 4-Stroke J90PL4SO Lower Unit Knock at Idle Forward/Reverse

    I'd start by draining fluid and looking for metal shavings. Almost sounds like you are describing a worn clutch dog except for the works at higher rpm aspect...

    1990 evinrude 70hp boggs down at high speed

    Intermittent issue is often electrical. Preform a spark check with an open air gap tester while it is runningbpoorly. While it is misbehaving try pulling the plug wire off one at a time with insulated pliers. Note any change or lack of change. You could have any of a number of components...
