I just got a 2003 f12 non turbo and it is giving me some trouble. I ran it wide open which was only about 45mph [gps]when it should be doing 55mph and then let it idle for about 5 minutes and it started beeping and flashed f1. I killed it and let it rest and then it started and ran for a couple...
I have a 1993 johnson 48 compression is 125 on both cylinders carbs are spotless just soaked them. Engine starts fine but wont take throttle. Pulled bottom plug wire and no difference in sound but has spark on both cylinders. I put top spark plug in bottom cylinder and still no difference. Any...
After breaking my key off in my key switch and using a screw driver to start my motor i need to replace switch in remote. The stainless screws holding the remote together are stuck. Anyone use a hammer impact screwdriver to remove these? Should i be able to get a new switch at west marine? I...
I cleaned carbs and motor ran but not on one side. I replaced powerpack and all cylinders started working. I put the boat in the water and it wouldnt go past idle at first and then slowly started to progress in speed. It went from idle to 4mph to 6mph to 10mph and then topped off at 16mph on a...
I have recently got a evinrude 88 and after running it discovered only two cylinders were working. I swapped the power packs and the nonsparking cylinders started to work. I noticed that there were two different powerpacks on the motor. I ordered the same part number of the one that was working...
My johnson 48 started running bad and missing and i was told it was the stator. I pulled the flywheel off and found two metal pieces stuck to the magnet on the flywheel. Can someone tell me what these pieces are? I have included pics but the pieces are thin and shiny like chrome.
I have a 1993 johnson 48 and while going full throttle it suddenly went down to about idle and then would kick back up to normal. It then went back down and stayed. I pumped the bulb while running full throttle and it made no difference. I pulled the boat out of the water and clean the carbs...
My johnson 48 runs fine but is really slow. Can anyone tell me if it needs adjustments by looking at the pictures. First pic is neutral and second pic it forward full throttle. Do the arrows need to be in line with the roller? Thanks for any info.
I replaced the waterpump on my 1993 johnson 48 about a year ago and it has been working fine and peeing strong. Ran it for about an hour the other day and my motor started to die. Looked back and steam was coming out of the pisser. I blew through the hose and it was clear. Motor still starts and...
I have a 1984 evinrude 50 and 1992 johnson 48. I pulled the older 50 off and put the newer johnson on my 19ft pontoon. With the same prop my pontoon goes half the speed with the newer motor on. Carbs are clean and motor starts and runs great but is just slow. I pulled the plug wires one at a...
I recently replaced my 1983 evinrude 50 with a 1992 johnson 48 due to lower unit problems. My evinrude 50 pushed my 20ft pontoon @21 mph. My 48 pushes it at 12 mph. I was wondering if the 1983 evinrude 50 is that much more powerful than the newer johnson 48? Johnson 48 is running with the prop...
