Hey everybody, I found a clean used 95 225 ob, and need to know if there is anything I should know about this motor before purchasing it. For example, any major problems or plugs fouling etc. From doing some reserch I have found that Johnson redesigned their motors in 96. Please inform me if this is true or not, and what were the major changes.

THE MAIN THING ON THESE MOTORS ARE THEY HAD A BAD PROBLEM WITH THE PISTON RING SET PIN WORKING IT'S WAY OUT AND TRASHING THE SLEEVE ON #2 CYLINDER. IT STARTED IN 1994 AND I HAVE IT ALL THE WAY UP TO 1998 MODELS. YOU NEED TO CHECK COMPRESSION AND LOOK INSIDE THE CYLINDERS WITH A BENDALIGHT LOOKING AT #2 CLOSELY AT ABOUT 9 TO 10 OCLOCK NEAR THE INTAKE PORTS FOR GROOVE UP AND DOWN CYLINDER WALL JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOWN
