    Hi, for a Year 2000 90 HP Johnson carbed engine, does anyone know the diameter of the drain hose on the port side that fits into a nipple at the bottom of the airbox? Need to extend it and want to get the size right.

    Year 2000 90 HP Johnson mixture adjust

    Read Joe Reeves sticky about low speed idle adjustment, but not sure if it applies to my carbs. (Engine dies at lowest forward throttle setting. Recently tuned but needs this tweak). Joe suggests turning needle valves (1 per carb) 1.5 turns out and then closing valve until engine spits, and...

    No spark after compression test?

    Did a compression test on my Johnson 90HP 2-cycle year 2000 carbed engine. Compression was OK but after putting back the plugs the engine wouldn't start, Coughed a couple of times at first but now seems just to be dead, no spark. Is getting plenty of fuel, cranking fast, new plugs look good...

    Intermittent power loss: 90 HP Johnson year 2000

    90 HP carbed Johnson 2-stroke: starts right up and runs fine at idle and 5 mph. Most of the time it runs fine up to about 5400 rpm with plenty of power. Sometimes, though, when cruising at, say, 3500 rpm the engine will bog (without me touching the throttle), lose power and slow down. Then...

    4000 RPM Max sometimes on 90HP Johnson year 2000

    Running at 5,000 RPMs the engine hesitated and then maxed out at 4000 RPMs: top end of throttle had no effect. At dock the plugs looked OK and no water in the separator. Next time out had the same issue, but then it started to stall and run rough at lower RPMs. Headed back to dock in 5 MPH...

    Weak reverse in 90HP Johnson

    Year 2000 Johnson won't respond to throttle in reverse. Have good performance in forward, 5500 RPMs at WOT, and it will shift into reverse Ok. In reverse the prop turns at very low RPMs, but when I give it throttle nothing happens, just stays at low RPMs. The throttle has kind of a springy...

    Power source to Johnson gauges?

    Have a 90HP Johnson 2-cycle, year 2000. Yesterday some of my gauges stopped working: fuel gauge, tach and voltmeter. But ignition and all accessories still worked, as did the separate overheat/oil alarm-gauge. Are the tach/voltmeter/fuel gauges powered by a different source from the overheat...

    Routine thermostat replacement, 90HP Johnson

    When I got my year 2000 90 HP Johnson outboard last fall, a surveyor told me to change the thermostats as part of routine maintenance (probably never had been done). Had another mechanic do some work, and he said, "We don't recommend changing them unless you have a problem." Engine runs fine...

    Had a bad experience with this online retailer. Ordered 2 water-fuel separator filters and got a flurry of confusing email messages -- order received, canceled, money refunded, order complete. But when I checked PayPal, the money had been deducted from my credit card but not refunded. When I...

    Standing water in console?

    I am the new owner a year 2000 Sea Hunt 172 Triton, and I found a couple inches standing water in the bottom of the center console. I can see where water gets in -- cup holder drainage holes, removed electronics with exposed mount holes, and can plug these. But shouldn't the console have some...
