    Lower Unit shifter on Sea King 9.2

    Lower Unit shifter of Sea King 9.2 outboard. Took this apart and fixed it thought someone would probably want to see it apart. The main issue is that the second bolt to drop the unit is hidden inside the housing of the prop. So prop comes off, then cover, snap ring, bushing housing with o...

    80s Johnson 110hp does going into gear

    Oh 😱 that makes more sense...Also I found that one of the spark plug wires was broken on the side where it connects to the coil... I'm unsure how long that has been the case... You could have possibly happened when I was moving or putting on the hood but I kind of doubt it as I was very...

    80s Johnson 110hp does going into gear

    So it looks like the lever is doing almost nothing like it's not even hitting the throttle when it is up all the way(link to video)...BTW I got a compression tester now...

Apparently my boat doesn't have that but a guy...

    80s Johnson 110hp does going into gear

    I know it sounds so dumb....but it's extremely smooth at anything over a low at RPM... I was reading in the manual and it says that there's two types of plugs for it one for high-end and one for low end running of the motor... I know I put in the plugs without a gap because that's the high end...

    80s Johnson 110hp does going into gear

    I don't have a way to test it at the moment. I do not believe a piston is broken as the motor runs fantastic once it starts and I can even Idle the motor down when in gear. Issue is soon as I drop out of gear and try to idle it dies aft about 3min our as soon as I shift it into gear..
