I took off the high pressure pump and split the fuel vapor separator and everything seemed to check out fine. The float is working properly so the only way for I see for the fuel to get into the motor is from a stuck open injector. What the best way to tell which injector is the problem? I...
Hello everyone I purchased this boat about 2 years ago and the motor has ran like a top until this past weekend. It started with not wanting to crank unless it has almost full throttle. This is a fuel injected motor and never needed more than just pressing the choke to get it started on a cold...
Hello everyone. I have a 1994 J120 TLER that was running perfect last summer but had a Lower until with a seal leak so I pulled the motor off and replaced with a 115. I fixed the lower unit and put the motor back on and it is idling very high and missing on throttle up. Check out the video below...
Hello everyone. This weekend I fired up the motor on muffs after sitting all winter and when it was cold it ran fine. Once it got hot it ran like total crap. If I throttled up it sound like it was missing on all cylinders. I then tried to cut it off and it would not turn off. When I turned...
I am looking at buying a boat with a 2001 Mercury Optimax 225 XL Saltwater engine that has 516 hours on it. Does anyone have any experience with this motor and know if it is good/bad or should I run form it. I did see they had a class action lawsuit back in the day but not sure if this motor...
Hello everyone. Here is my current situation. I picked up a 1993 Johnson TJ115TLETS from a friend and I finally started messing with it 2 years later and here is what I found. It would crank up and idle fine but trying to get the boat on plane it was just dragging and you could tell it had...

Hello everyone. I had a little time today and here is what I did. I put in 4 brand new QL78YC plugs gaped at .30. I then swapped the 2 top carbs and made a slight float adjustment. I then blew through the few inlet and verified that the float needle and seat were all working properly. I then...
I got the QL77JC4 directly from the Manual. I guess they changed the recommended plug over the years. I will get the QL78YC but at this point I don't think the plugs are the problem. It is either a gas or firing issue and regardless I hope to figure it out this weekend. Thank for all the...
The video you saw was before I found that the ground wire on the power pack was almost severed. I repaired it and it did run better. If you look at the attached picture I am pretty sure it is wired properly. The orange wire will almost only fit 1 way. With one be short and 1 being long.
