    Trim motor 3 or four bolts?

    I am looking at changing the trim motor on my 130, 1998 Johnson. I can see three bolts but if there is a fourth it looks impossible to get at. I have not been able to find the correct part number for my motor, J130txacb. I'm hoping for a three bolt model, but it don't look good.. If there is a...

    Kill wire giving me the jerks

    I am troubleshooting the black/yellow kill wire on a Johnson 130 hp (all the plugs removed) If the engine rests for 24 hours, with the ignition switch on, and a continuity check at the black/yellow wire shows full open, the plugs fire, and will continue until the switch is turned off (that is...

    Spark testing

    Throttle Body

    I started cleaning the carburetors on my Johnson 130. Looking at the carb end of the motor I started with the left bank. The fuel pocket behind the needle valve is accessible, but after reassembly of the left bank the right bank is not. Is it usual to clean out the pockets in the throttle...

    Shift cable bind

    A 1998 130hp Johnson. Replaced the shift cable. The cable binds. Every thing works smooth until the cable ends are hooked up. The only thing I see as a problem is that the cable connection ends do not lay flat at the connection points. The ends are off about 45 degrees. I cannot think of a way...

    The telltail fitting

    Re: The telltail fitting It is called an Aspirator, #0434421 The extra inlet is the lower one in the picture. I'd like to know what it's purpose is if anyone knows. I'm curious because the plastic cap must have deteriorated somewhat and blew off. The telltale stream became more of a spit...

    Installing the lower unit

    With the lower unit in the full up position, I?m getting too old to jostle the unit around until the shaft teeth mesh. What I?ve been doing is, with the engine full up, and getting the lower unit set in until I get about a two-inch gap, I tie it off with a rope and lower the unit down until the...
