I just sold my 1995 Johnson 90HP to a guy and he is having problems getting it into gear.
I repowered this winter and had a shop take the old motor off the boat. The motor ran great all last season and never had any lower unit issues. I know it shifts fine as I drove it to the dock the day it...
So I posted on this a couple weeks ago but I have some more specific questions.
I have a 1995 Johnson 88 SPL i want to start on a stand and want to ensure I dont fry anything.
I could really use a picture of the starter side of a 1990s Johnson or Evinrude showing the location of the positive...
I recently repowered my boat. My old 1995 Johnson 88 was taken off and placed on the back of my truck on a pallet. I got all the wiring harness, gauges, cables etc. binnacle throttle with key switch as well.
Now I am selling the old outboard and people want to hear it run. I built a stand for...
I bought a new Blue Seas 12 slot fuse block with buss bar, 100' of 16 gauge tinned wire and lots of connectors to over haul my electrical.
I have been staring at it for the last week trying to wrap my head around the install and have a couple questions.
1. With the new ATO fuse block can I...
1995 88 Johnson SPL - purchased this year.
After removing my exhaust cover and finding some piston damage I am concerned that the damage may be caused by a lean condition.
I would like to rebuild the carbs, I have not done this before and would like some insight on the level of difficulty and...
As a follow up to my overheating issues, I am contemplating removing my cylinder heads to replace the diverters and clean the water jackets (after the pound of sand found in the lower unit Im sure the heads are clogged)
I just bought this motor, 1995 88 SPL, but from the paint on the head bolts...
Finally got my boat in the water today after doing so much work to the motor.
I changed the outer exhaust gaskets, the thermostats and the water pump.
The motor was pumping good out of the telltale, very strong. I took a 20 min ride up river at low RPM and as soon as I reached the Sound the...
I bought some new Moeller parts for my Tempo above deck 26 gallon tank and the pickup tube is way to short.
I need to extend it and plan to clamp a tight fitting peice of fuel hose over the short Moeller pickup tube.
2 questions.
1. Are stainless steel clamps OK to leave within the fuel tank...
I have a sierra fuel water seperator for my 1995 Johnson 88 SPL. The fuel coming out of the outlet line of the filter appears yellow in color when it should be the blue color in the pre-mix tank.
Is this common? Is it possible for these filters to filter out the pre-mix oil?
Note that the...
I researched the old posts and could not find a solid anwser for this.
I tested my lower unit today at 15 psi.
The unit lost one PSI in one hour.
I redid the test and in two hours it lost 1.5 psi.
I soaped the vent and drain with no resulting bubbles.
Question is, what is the test...

After removing the outer exhaust cover and looking in I notice one the upper starboard piston looks chipped on the edge. See picture attached. Note compression is all withing 15 psi...

Just purchased what appears to be a nearly brand new 1971 Johnson 6HP.
There is no telltale on these small motors but I see water pushing out of the exhaust port.
What temperature should the block be when running this motor?
What temperature is the thermostat of these motors set to open at...
1995 Johnson 88 SPL
I noticed a small amount of water spitting out of the outer exhaust housing cover while it was running. The lower left side of the cover appears to have the leak.
Is this a sign of a larger issue or simply a gasket gone bad?
Thanks
