    1992 Johnson 140 electric cut - protection circuit of some sort?

    Hello everyone, I have a 1976 GlasPly 17' runabout with a 1992 Johnson 140 on it. This spring I've been having a strange electrical issue with it. Battery is fully charged, cables are tight, no corrosion that I can see. Sometimes when I use the trim/tilt, hit the starter, or even just turn...

    Slight prop rub on gear case after rebuild. Problem?

    I have a 92 Johnson 140 on my 17' Glasply. I was putting it away recently and was a bit careless about backing it into its spot at my parent's house. I went a little too far back and the prop lightly hit the prop on my dad's boat. Since his is stainless and mine is aluminum, mine took all the...

    Cannot figure out a lean running 93 140hp

    I have a 1976 17' Glasply runabout that I restored about 3 years ago. Originally it has a '92 Evinrude 70hp on it that after a bit of work ran perfectly. I'm a water skier though, and wanted more power, so I traded in the 70 on a 1993 140hp. This has proved to be a poor decision. When the...

    1993 Johnson 140 missing at idle

    I just recently repowered an old glasply with a 93 johnson 140. The motor runs great at speed and has good power. It's fairly low hours and still has good compression and all, but in the last couple weeks since I got it, it has started to misfire badly at idle, to the point where it basically...
