Hey everyone, I need a little advice. I have a 1990 celebrity 200 cuddy and I would like to add a telescoping ladder. We do a lot if skiing and kneeboarding and it sucks without a ladder. The issue I have is that my boat has a swim platform that has grab bars on either side of the outdrive. The...
Hell all, I'am looking at purchasing an older 1 owner Celebrity 200cc that is in absolute incredible condition. The engine is a 5.7/260 engine with alpha one drive. I will be going to take it for a water test this weekend and I am going to request that I be able to do a compresion test...
Title says it all. Going to look at a boat and the guy says it leaks a little gear oil after the marina put a new "head" on the outdrive? I've always had outboards and have no idea what this means or how bad or costly it will be to fix? Thanks in advance!
I had some issues with water in the oil tank a while ago(massive damage). That is all fixed and I have capped vro2 pump. I need to know if there is a way to stop the low and no oil alams while keeping the overheat alarm functioning. Is it as simple as breaking the signal wire connection at the...
Re: Tach problems!!!
when I smacked it the needle shot to straight up and down. connections were good. as for the brand I have no idea. I will include a pic of the only sticker on the thing. I will buy a new one. I just have no idea what to get. Just a universal jobby?
1995 Johnson 90hp j90tleor, tach hasn't worked since I've owned this boat and I finally am getting around to really getting the boat in good running condition. I replaced the reg/rectifier today as the charging system wasn't working as well as the tach, hoping that would solve both issues...
I'm having some trouble getting this 90hp johnson(J90TLEOR) to fire up. The only way I can get it to start is to spray some premix in the carbs. I thought it was the leaking primer solenoid lever so i replaced it. No luck. The fuel is coming from a clean small tank. Everything seems to be fine...
Quick question guys, the primer solenoid on my engine(j90tleor) is leaking like crazy from just above the red lever when I engage it. I was wondering if anyone knew if I can buy a repair kit for this or if the whole thing needs replaced? The boat is a pain to start without it working! Thanks in...
I tore down my 95 Johnson 90hp j90tleor to hone a scored cylinder and put rings on other pistons. Everything is back together. The compression in all are between 115&120, there is good spark. The fuel pump has a strong pulse of fuel to the carbs but it seems to stop there. The plugs are...
i need to test the vro pump on my 90hp johnson. i have found how to do it with a functional engine. unfortunately mine is far from that! the pump is my prime suspect at this point. just wondering if one of you fine gentlemen knew how i could test it without a running engine?
also i can not...
Re: whats my next troubleshooting step?
the gasket looked like crap to me. it was rusted and bubbled basically crumbled at the bottom of that cyinder. this is what i meant by melted. yes i did tke the high speed jets along with everythinr else i could get apart and everything looked to be on...
if anyone has read past threads i had a piston basically overheat and melt in the cylinder. i'm waiting for the manual to arrive to start that whole tear down process. i'm really looking to narrow down what actually caused this. i started with removing and disassembling the carbs hoping to find...
