    Power Pack

    I have had my 85 Johnson 140 sitting for a while while I worked on the lower and now I have no spark on the 1/3 bank. 2/4 has strong spark and I have swapped the coils and that's not it.

    Question on model

    I have a 85 Johnson 140 model J140TLCO. I have read that in 1985 they changed from crossflow to looper on the 140. How do I tell which one I have? Is the looper a 60 degree and the crossflow a 90?<br /><br />Thanks

    Last question for Johnson 140

    Help with compression test

    I did a compression test on a 1985 Johnson 140 motor that did not have controls hooked up so it was cold and throttle at idle position. I got an even 145 on all cylinders. Is this reliable? Should I go back and do the test again to know what shape this motor is in?
