    1992 Evinrude V90 crossflow thermostat issue

    Yes those corks sit up a bit higher, noticable when the gasket is around them also. When It all squishes together it will be fine. Right or wrong, I always use permatex #2 lightely on all sides of the housing parts and both sides of gaskets....not alot as you dont want any migrating off and...

    Johnson J150VXSIG 2001 carb looper smoking badly, rough

    Solved: 1 of the 12 carb body oring type gaskets that mate to the manifolold had a very slight "ding" in it. Was leaking fuel when pressurizing the bulb. Difficult to see as it was one of the lower ones. Had to take off all covers to view properly.

    Johnson J150VXSIG 2001 carb looper smoking badly, rough

    Guess I will remove all 6 again to investigate. I broke the top Encoder timing Disk, so one is ordered. I've had these 4 years now. Run great normally. I wonder if the prior owner had Mal-Adjusted the needle valves in each to over-compensate for the warped bowls that may have been leaking air...

    Johnson J150VXSIG 2001 carb looper smoking badly, rough

    The same jets/orafice were moved to the new bowls after checking-This model has only 1 in the bowl. Plastic carb "bodys" come off with 4 bolts without removing anything else. I just replaced the warped bowls, moved over the 1 jet, and new bowl gasket.

    Johnson J150VXSIG 2001 carb looper smoking badly, rough

    Thanks..The 6 carbs are removed without removing fuel lines. The back throttle plate is what fuels them thru the mating surface. linkage is moving free. The throats seem much "drippier" that the other twin motor. I see the same fuel running down the leg.

    Johnson J150VXSIG 2001 carb looper smoking badly, rough

    2nd post on my twin 150 motors. Had them long time always run well and I maintain them myself. This spring, at initial start I thought all was well minus a bit of low idle (I know how to set lo idle on these). But after more testing, it clearly isnt firing right. Smokes bad unlike its partner...

    1998 Johnson 150 lower mount cover

    That is typically from that mount swelling with corrosion, cracks the cover. The mount can be a bugger to get out, but can be done. Take off the cover and see what your dealing with. Maybe can clean it out, trim it put new cover on. Otherwise its a job.
