Hello again:
So yesterday I tested the compression of my 68 Johnson 100 hp. Results as follows:
Cyl. 1: 119
Cyl. 2: 117
Cyl. 3: 122
Cyl. 4: 119
So are these good numbers. I know that them being that close is good but I thought that they should be higher. If someone could clear this up...
Hello all,
I just picked up new plugs for my 69 johnson 100 hp. In my manual it calls for surface cap plugs. When I went to buy the new plugs the guy there told me not to use those, but try champion QL_____? Forget the actually number but know it starts with ql for quite running. So my...
So I was just wondering if there were any of you fellow MFG'ers here or near the Cleveland Ohio area. Just wondering. If not what body of water do you put your boat in on?
So I have now replaced the stator, rotor, distributor and wires. Turn it over and still no spark. AHHHHHHH. How frustrating. I did buy the manual and am now noticing that 1: the voltage regulator is not on motor anymore and 2)the voltage suppressor is also gone. Now it is my understanding...
Hello again. I have a new question for everyone. The rotor for my 68 johnson 100 hp has a plastic notch on the inside ring that keeps it in place on the crankshaft. The plastic notch has sheared off. I am having a real hard time finding this part anywhere. So can I somehow form that same...
I would just like to say hello. I am the proud new owner of a 1971 MFG Edinboro (I think). I have done some looking online to find the model (seeing as it wasn't on the title) and I beleive it is the Edinboro. It is in surprising nice shape. I think the motor was switched out on it. It now...
Just a quick question to any one who may know a little bit about a 68 johnson 100 hp v4tl-14b. Is it possible that the voltage suppressor will prevent me from getting a spark at the pulse transformer? I have replaced the stator, distributor cap, rotor, plugs and wires and still I can not get...
So here goes another question that Im sure someone will read and say how dumb, but I need to learn so I am asking. My question has to do with the carb on a 68 Johnson V100 v4tl-14b. When I look at the carb it looks nothing like what I see in all other carb cleaning references. Its like 4...
Hello all again. Seeing as I have gotten so much good advice from other post I am going to shoot another question out to you guys. I have a 68 Johnson 100 hp (v4tl-14b) and recently changed the oil in the lower unit. Now when I changed the oil it came out out kind of milky white. From...
Hello, thanks for reading. I have a 1968 Johnson V100, model #v4tl-14b. I am still learning about this motor and was wondering if anyone knew if this model has the electric shift? I have read a lot of bad things about this electrc shift but am not quite sure what exactly it is. Again I am...
Hello all thanks for reading. So I have a 1968 Johnson 100 hp outboard on my boat. This motor has a 15 amp stator that also charges to battery. So what I need to know is can I run my batteries in series and have the stator charge both. As of right now I have only one battery powering my...
