    Johnson 4stroke 70hp wont take the gas

    Hello gentlemen, my Johnson 70 ser# BJ70PL4ST(disguised Suzuki DF70) ran fine untill last monday. When applying WOT she stalls and struggles and won't put on revs. When slowly putting on the gas, she reluctantly increases revs up till abt. 5800. The mechanic put her on the diagnostics-machine...

    rectifier dying ?

    On my Johnson 4st. 2002 70hp the trimgauge gets wobbly, same for the tach which works nicely till 4000 rpm's and then won't go up any further while rpm's increase. Feathering off and the tach feathers off nicely from 4000 down. My voltgauge is steady and give a reading of 15 volts without...

    Johnson 70hp 4 stroke EFI any good?

    OK, I confess...I already bought it ! Was told it is essentially the Suzuki DF70. What's the difference between the 2 if any and does anybody have any experience with this particular motor (2002). Loved the color (white) hahahaha! Got an OK from the missus after I asked the salesman if it was a...

    Handicapped lurking

    Been a bit off-line lately, here's the reason why. Lizzy Miss Dizzy (not my choice of name !!!) has a fixation on the cursor and I'm not able to see what I do.

    Launch and cry

    Did it last saturday. My trailer is equipped with 2 (TWO) pins that have to be unlocked before you can tilt the boat. A big pin securing the heavy frame and a small pin to secure the bicycle-catcher (the halfround frame between bow and spare-tire). Forgot the small pin and it wrestled itself...

    Lower-unit problems

    Today I was scheduled for a knee-operation, woke up at 05.30 got wheeled out to the operating room at 08.30, got zapped into oblivion at 08.40, woke up at 09.15 talking gibberish. Wife picked me up at 12.15 (still full of painkillers and after I had proven that the old impeller still worked...

    Off day and I'm so intelligent!

    Okay, did the preparation for winterizing... filled up the fuel-tank (20 gallons full), tipped in the appropriate amount of fuelconditioner and took off at moderate speed. Three minutes out the alarm goes off, went off the throttle...checked oil (still 5 cm approx 1 liter there). So...

    heartwarming initiative in New Orleans

    Saw this on Tv last night, a whole parade of boatowners with boat on trailer behind their trucks volontering to help out. For the rest the news is as lopsided here as it is in the US.... when in Holland a dike bursts (no pun) we see for a week long how 5 people got wet feet and how 3 homes had...

    Year Johnson 100 HP

    Been looking at a Johnson 100 HP mod. SJ100WTPLG, ser# G 03193322, 4 cilinder. Looks like a non-VRO (premix?) motor. Don't know the year (INTRODUCES-trick doesn't work) nor any particulars like weight, looper/crossflow etc. Can anybody give me info on these kind of motors?<br />Thanks<br />Frank

    Winch too small in capacity

    Bought the trailor for 600 kg boat (incl.gas, motor etc.). Capacity of the trailor is 800 kg netweight, so I thought the winch would be up to the job (1800 lbs starting cap. 900 lbs with full drum). Rounded 2 winch-handles now on the winch axle and feared for the belt. Put on a 2600lbs winch to...

    Uncle Lance

    Last of the big bumps for Lance Armstrong today. Went on holiday once and did the Aubisque with my car. Man, was that a mean mountain!! (us dutchies impress easily on mountains I guess, but nevertheless). Steep sides where you can drop a few hundred meters if you lose your less-than-1-inch grip...

    Camera drowned

    As promised, here my story about the drowned camera. Went boating with wife and stopped at an island in that nearby lake. As it happens there comes a flatbottomed boat that offers drinks and french fries. First I ever saw. Wife yelled for the camera, I got it and handed it over. She thought she...
