Re: recirculation hose roughting on Johnson
I am confused by your reference to the reed cages.I do know what they are and where they are on the motor but not sure which ones your refering to. You metion "lower cage", "2nd cage",<br />"3 reed cage", and "top cage". See if this matches what you told me - cyclinders 1,2,and 4 go foward from their own cyclinders nipple to the back of it's associated reed cage nipple. <br /><br />Nipples at the very top and bottom of the block are tied together on the port side and as you said teed at the bottom of this hose. Then from this tee a hose goes to a nipple on the bottom stb side under cylinder #3 reed cage which is teed again. From this tee a hose goes onto cyclinder's 3 nipple. <br /><br />My manaul talks about the servicing a 1 way valve<br />that should be in this system somewhere?<br />I have not taken any thing apart yet but it looks like it might be in cylinder #3 reed cage inplace of its nipple. Does your manaul show this?<br /><br /> thanks for all your help
