    compression on my 85 Johnson 150hp low???

    well finally did the compression check on my 85 150 crossflow, and found it quite low. It was about 65-70 psi on all cylinders (didn't do test with throttle open). Now I will do the decarb. I don't think it has ever been done, and should be after every 50 hrs. I don't think this is going to...

    85 Johnson 150 problem

    I posted last summer about this intermittant problem I had this last year. When I throttle up (nail it) from take off, or idles down and dies, or it just stays at the same rpm/speed and then all of a sudden it kicks in and launches. Sometimes while cruising it feels like it just shuts down then...

    Dhadley, modify intake info???

    you mentioned earlier about modifying my intake on my 85 Johnny 150. Connect left to right? How far down do I mill? Should I use a roughing mill or a finish.

    OMC airbox mods ???

    I had an engine builder mention to me about some airbox mods for improved performance. I have an 85 Johnson 150 crossflow. I'm in the process of polishing and porting an intake and reed blocks for my engine. Has anyone heard of this and if so what or how is this done? If anyone has any ideas on...

    set-up update

    Dhadley. I'm still looking at doing those mods real soon. Here is some info on my prop differences. As I told you my Power Tech 14.25"x23p only turns 4700-4800 rpm's. I put my SST 14.25x21p on and I can turn it 5700-5800. The SST really blows out at the slightest turn and not any faster speeds...

    thermostat question

    Dhadley, you mentioned in a past post of mine about the thermostat and my water pressure gauge. Well I'm going to put new t-stats in with these new heads, and I wanted you to clear up something about modifying them for better flow? Thanks

    Dhadley or Joe (OMC heads)

    Dhadley or Joe, just got my OMC crossflow heads in. What is the difference from these 79 Johnson 235hp heads and my 85 Johnson 150hp heads. They are supposed to be a higher compression head, but what makes them higher? Is it the dome? These are the ones that I will be machining down and...

    water leaking???

    on my 85 Johnson 150, should water be coming from the lower pivot point? This is right behind the plates on the lower mid section. I saw this when hooked to the muffs. I know I have the drain holes on the lower unit and the pee hole on the lower crowling, but what about this. Is this the main...
