1996 225 Ocean Runner Good motor?

[night pirate]

I have the 175 1994 leaker. I found a 1996 225 my boat rated for maximum 235 so this is good. I think 96 and up the leaker problems were resolved? I know mine was the yr they went gasketless and had glue issues. I'm going to ck it out and do a compression test on it. Pleas let me know your input on this.

Thanks Frank

Change impeller every 2 years regardless and prop to the high RPM end.... cooling issues loosen locating pins in pistons.

Hi Faztbullet, I spoke with your several times in the past about, 1994 175 Johnson Ocean runner Lopper,
I had one cracked carb/recirculating gas/vacuum line. I see they have 3 different sizes, 1/16, 1/8, 5/32. I believe the correct size for my motor is a 16th? I know you play with these motors all the time so I thought I would ask you Also how many feet what I need if I want to do all 6 carbs?

Thanks Frank
