    1992 Johnson 40HP - No thrust, rough idle and sounds

    Sorry, was responding via mobile phone. Guess the autocorrect got me. I called my father. He said he took off the Cylinder Head rather easy within 15 minutes last time. So, I'll bring it over to him as he is also a master machinest too. He tossed me the model number. I guess it's actually a 92...

    1992 Johnson 40HP - No thrust, rough idle and sounds

    Hello! I have a 1992 Johsnon 40 HP outboard that has been rebuilt in 2012 due to a blown engine. I've been riding this baby with little to no issues outside a dead starter since then for about 4 years straight. The previous blowup was due to the oil mixer failing, so now I mix all my oil. The...

    Javelin Bass Boat Floor Restoration

    Greets: I've seen a few posts in the forum about floor restoration and rebuilds. Some look pretty scary, others look not so scary. I have a 90's Javelin Bass Boat that's 15 ft. It's a small boat, but I love everything about it. Unfortunately, the previous owner seemed to have pulled a fast one...

    1992 Johnson 40HP Not Starting - Solenoid?

    I just had my engine rebuilt from a blowout. Now the engine starts sometimes an fails to start most of the time. When the key is turned, the engine does not turn over, the starter just sits there and I hear what sounds like a click (spark) on the starter or the solenoid when I try to start. It's...

    Bore/Hone Cylinder Question

    Heyo, My 92 Johnson 40HP motor blew a few weeks ago. The damages include some minor scaring on the bottom cylinder wall where the top cylinder is in good shape. This means we will have to bore it out to 0.20 or 0.30 depending on the last inspection this week. Due to that, I have been told that...

    1992 Johnson Motor Possibly Blown

    Heya, I have a 1992 Javelin boat with a Johnson 40hp outboard. This past weekend, the motor died on me at top speed and would not crank or turnover right away. It was like it had no electricity. Then suddenly, it started to turnover and I got it running. However, when it was running, the motor...
