I have a 1967' hydro swift boat 19' with 1967' Johnson 100 HP outboard motor. last weekend was my first run. I had four people in the boat (650#) and was unable to plane. My motor is warn and I'm sure that doesn't help. But when we are in the boat it sits so low that the splash bin on the stern...
Thanks to this forum and the incredibly smart people on here I was finally able to take my boat for its first test run! So I have some new questions.. The boat is 100HP, I know that's not at the prop, but I was really disappointed at the performance of the motor. It starts and idols fine but...
Motor was running a little ruff, but runing no problem. I removed the plugs to test for spark and notice they were wet. Had a spark when testing off the block. I didn't use an air gap tester (didn't have, do now). After turning the motor over a few times the power light on the dash turned off...
1967' johnson 100 hp plugs are getting really wet. Motor has been sitting for almost a year. Is it possible just dirty fuel has made some sticky floats? The wetness seems pretty even in all the cylinders. one seemed drier than the rest. I have checked for spark and everything is working fine.
1967' Johnson 100hp (V4TL-13a). Won't turn over or start. Ive replace shift cable, oil retainers, and water pump. Boat was working fine, but i notice it was a running a little ruff after it had warmed up. I inspected the plugs first they all appeared really wet. I dried everything off and...

Bought a 1967' johnson HP, not working. Replaced the electric shift cable, water pump, and oil retainers. Starts up fine and it engages in gear fine. Back plate on the motor isn't getting very hot, but I'm not seeing any water come out. Question is, were does the water come out at? Is there...
My 1967 hydro swift boat has worked great for the last 4 season. Last year I decided to have the motor tuned up at a local boat shop. Ever sense the motor will not engage in forward or reverse with out stalling, even out of the water. The motor runs and idols great, and compression is good...
