Hi Guys,
I have a 89 johnson 60hp (E60TLCE....my best guess at model) that has no power at WOT. sounds like it has a misfire.
At first i thought it was going into S.L.O.W but now im not sure why its running rough with no power.
Ive replaced the water pump, thermostat, temp sensor and did the pee tube relocation per NoEcm tutorial (Thanks btw)
I also checked the motor while running with an infared gun and it doesnt get hot at all.
While running WOT, i pushed the key in and it bogs/shuts off unless i let go.
Pumping the ball doesnt help. The fuel filter is new and the tank and fuel line are as of last year.
The tac doesnt work so i replaced the rectifier even though the old one checked out after a look in my service manual. Also worth mentioning is the battery wasnt showing any more than 12.5 volts at the terminal with motor running and without(so i assume it wasnt charging it)
The Stator looks like its giving me continuity as opposed to the 1.3ohms resistance its supposed to give when taken from the two wires but when i unplug the red plug with all the pins the motor runs by itself.... I dont know if that means anything but i think it means the stator is working.
I used a Spark plug tester that connects between the plug and the wire. It lights up as i turned the key in the ignition(havent run it with it inline). Also the plugs are new.
Sometimes when the motor is running it shuts off and is hard to get started, I have to put it in neutral and gas all the way open and then it starts up in a few seconds.
Also after checking the spark plugs they appear black and it doesnt seem to be running lean, also confirmed with the choke at wot bogging the motor.
My question is... what should i check next. Does anyone have any inklings?
I know its simple, just fuel spark and air but im new at this, hopefully someone brighter than me can help.
