Hi, I would like to pick your brain and ask for the name of an aquaintance of yours who may be able to provide a driveshaft for a 140hp Johnson. You had given me his name last year or so but now I cannot find his telephone number. Thanks, Bob
Today I ran my 140 Johnson and recently the charging system/tach was not working but thats been happening for the last 4 fishing trips. When I shut the engine off a drifted for awhile I soon had to start the engine because I was getting to close to shore. Before starting the engine I turned the...
As I posted earlier "that I would check for bad diodes in my rectifier" I found that the yellow wires from my water cooled rectifier has current flow in both directions. Also, that the others wires have some ohm value that are connected to the rect. I believe there are a total of 5 wires coming...
I looked at my Seloc manual on how to check the rectifier it sounded simple, maybe a little too simple. I removed a black box held in place by 3 bolts. It has one ground wire and five wires with plug in connectors on the ends. The numbers on the side of the sealed unit are CD4/8L 582530 OA 9T...
I noticed that my tach was not working. This has happened in the past and I had the rectifier replaced by the shop. I will refer to the seloc manual for the proper diagnosis as to wether the rectifier is NG. If the rectifier is NG can I use a NAPA Rectifier?
On July 6 I asked about connecting a water pressure gage to my 1985 Johnson 140hp. You assisted by telling me to tee into the line from the adapter plate going into the water control valve. Thank you and I appreciate the info but unfortunately I don't know where the adapter plate and the water...
I have a 1985 140hp Johnson with a 25" shaft. I believe its a looper V4.<br />Where is the best location to drill a tap for a water pressure gage and what should the pressure be?
I have a in the dash fuel guage for my 140hp Johnson on a 21' 1985 Kencraft and the pointer end broke off of the indicator dial. The guage has four electrical connections on the back of the guage. The body measures 2 1/4" in diameter and the face is 2 1/2" in diameter. Where can I buy this unit...
Due to some overheating recently, I decided to remove the stats. Also the seal under the starboard stat became undone with the stainless steel part still in the head. I have a couple of fishing days remaining before I winterize the motor. Can I run the motor for the few fishing trips remaining...

I posted last week about the atomizing coming out my four carbs. The mechanic indicated that the powerpack was defective and that the timing was way off. I could understand the bad powerpack but I don't know how the timing got way out of time. Today I went fishing for the first time since the...
Recently I posted this problem.<br />I removed the flywheel looking for a sheared key.<br />The key was in good shape. I didn't go any further to look at the reeds.<br />I brought it to a wrench and he agreed that it could be a reed problem. I told him that I removed the flywheel and found...
Recently I asked for help regarding atomizing coming out the carbs on my 1985 140hp TXCO, Johnson. Joe suggested that I check the flywheel key for breakage. Is the key a square, rectangle or woodruff? What is the proper way to prevent the flywheel from turning while torqueing the nut to 145psi...
The problem started when fishing, the RPMs dropped from 3600 to 1200 and then stalled. Later, checked the compression 85psi to 105 psi. I decided to decarb and rebuild the carbs. When I removed the front carburetor cover oil was laying in the bottom of the cover about 4oz. The VRO was...
