First off this is my first fuel injected motor and its a 2012 Honda BF90 EFI. The other day I launched my boat to fish stripers and made the 6 or 7 km trip out to the fishing grounds no problem. After anchoring and fishing for a couple hours we went to leave and the battery wouldnt even turn the...
Anyone have any issues with their motor dying at idle? My 2005 9.9 will start if I have the throttle open and if I keep giving it gas it runs great. If I let off the throttle for it to idle down it dies.
First off I am not mechanically inclined but do have some basic knowledge. I have a fairly new to me 2005 merc 9.9 (203cc). The motor will start and run fine as long as I stay on the throttle but as soon as I let off the motor quits. I decided I would make an attempt to clean the carb out after...
Hey guys changed the impeller on my 2000 Johnson's 15hp last night. It's the second time I have done it since I bought the motor used. Everything went smooth until I tried to get the lower section of shift rod into the coupler, it seems I can't fit a screwdriver in to turn the screw. I don't...
The boat Im still looking at is an 1989 22 foot sea ray OV which is a fairly large boat. A friend of mine has a similar boat and its powered by a 5.7 L motor with 350HP... basically Im wondering is a 4.3 Litre V6 underpowered for a boat this large? I have 2 kids and the wife (plus all related...
Looking to purchase my first boat (other than small aluminum fishing/duck boats) and I do not know a whole lot about I/O's. The boat I am currently looking at is an 1989 Sea Ray 220 Overnighter with the 4.3 merccruiser and alpha one outdrive on it. the motor has 760 hours on it but appears to...
Hey guys pretty new to boating here so any help appreciated. Considering buying a 2014 Lowe Jon boat (1436) with an 80's model merc 9.8 (supposedly just has top end put in and comes with extra lower unit) and a homemade trailer for 1900 bucks. Is this a good deal in canada? Any idea what this...
Anyone know where the idle adjustment screw is on a 2000 Johnson 15hp? This is only my second motor and the last one has a knob on the side you could use without removing the cowling. Anyways motor is quitting the odd time and sometimes sounding like it's starving for fuel while I leave it at an...
Does anybody know a good place to either download or buy (cheap preferably) a service manual for a 2000 Johnson 15 hp 2 stroke. Plan on doing carb and would like something to reference
Bought an awesome new to me motor today, the old fella told me it's a 1999 (15hp Johnson 2 stroke short shaft) but when looking up on Johnson website I can't find this model number under 1999.... Anybody know?
So I discovered the other day a cylinder was not firing on my 76 Johnson 9.9 and after some tinkering around realized the top cylinder is not getting fuel. I took the carb off yesterday and cleaned it to the best of my ability (new to working on motors) and did spray a bit of carb cleaner into...
The top cylinder on my 76 Johnson 9.9 is not firing. It has a brand new coil on it and new plug with a blue snappy spark but when drop testing the motor It dies whole trying to run on this cylinder. Checked compression and both cylinder at about 90 PSI
I have a 76 johnson 9.9 and I have noticed that the bottom plug seems to have a weak spark (it will not jump and is not snappy) but there is a yellow spark there. Motor seems to run good on the high rpm end but when I idle down to trolling speeds it starts to 'cough' or make 'whooshing' sounds...
Hey guys, trying to replace the propeller shaft seal on my 1976 johnson 9.9 (10E76G). I cannot remove the bearing housing as use in salt water seems to have it frozen in. Leeroys Ramblings mentions using a puller or slide hammer with a screw on the end to screw into the seal and tap with a...
