    Bottom cylinder won’t fire but still has spark

    I’m hoping it’s good now I don’t think anything in the cylinder got damaged, spark plug in that cylinder also looks good too

    At one point a put in a little bit of wd40 for that fact, I listed the compression in an earlier reply

    Bottom cylinder won’t fire but still has spark

    Alright I cleaned the other carb now when it is running I pull the plug and it hesitates the slightest bit so I’m hoping that fixed it. It still pops once warmed up but I’m hoping that’s just because it’s not getting back pressure from being in the water.

    Bottom cylinder won’t fire but still has spark

    im not sure what’s going on but I’ve thought many things were wrong with my 1995 Johnson 120 but what I have finally found is that one cylinder won’t fire but it does get spark. You can take the plug wire off while running and it won’t change. We cleaned the carb that is in line with the...

    Tell-take won’t start pushing water until warms up.

    I put the thermostats back in right away.

    Tell-take won’t start pushing water until warms up.

    The thing is the popping came back, when it pops it slows and almost dies and I’m thinking when I put it in the water it will die. I ran some seafoam in it. I’ll just have to mix up some fuel with some carb cleaner and run that for a little bit to see if it clears up.

    Tell-take won’t start pushing water until warms up.

    I just put a new impeller in, I talked to someone and I’m no long thinking it’s overheating, just though 160 degrees is cooler than it is.

    Tell-take won’t start pushing water until warms up.

    I did that now they are all working so might have been a grounding issue. I think the problem now is that it is running too lean and I’m not sure how to adjust these carbs

    New discovery, one of the cylinders aren’t firing and I put a different plug in and nothing changed, would that be a bad coil pack

    Tell-take won’t start pushing water until warms up.

    I checked it and all cylinders are between 130 and 120. After I ran some seafoam through it, it stop poping as bad as it was. It just takes like a minute for it to start squirting and it gets too hot, I wouldn’t lay a finger on it longer than a 2 seconds because it gets too hot but the water...

    Tell-take won’t start pushing water until warms up.

    My 1995 Johnson 120 won’t push a strong stream of water until it has warmed up and once it warms up it sounds like it either misses or is getting too much air in the cylinder because it makes larger “puffs” of air out the exhaust inconsistently. I just replaced the impeller. I trying running...

    My boat is hard to start after being ran at higher rpms for 10-15 minutes and being shut off.

    I did just replace the Vro pump with a normal one

    My boat is hard to start after being ran at higher rpms for 10-15 minutes and being shut off.

    I have figured out that it is a temperature issue, it gets too hot, my new problem after installing the impeller is that, it’s hard to start cold, when I get it running it doesn’t pee water, by the time it starts peeing water it starts puffing and then dies. Doesn’t want to start after that.

    My boat is hard to start after being ran at higher rpms for 10-15 minutes and being shut off.

    So would that be a thermostat problem? The water that comes out is pretty warm and it gets hot fast

    My boat is hard to start after being ran at higher rpms for 10-15 minutes and being shut off.

    I usually change every other year, I took it out and it was still OK to my standards but we’ll see how the new one performs.
