Can anyone help me identify the purpose of this nipple sticking out of my engine? It drips water when the engine is at idle and I assume also when under power. What should I do about this? Engine is a 1997 175hp Johnson Fast Strike. It's on a 79 Aquasport 200 CCP that I just bought and am trying...
Here are the facts.
- wide open throttle - only 12.45 volts on my handheld digital testing meter(same voltage at idle)
- batteries aren't charging(they have water and are brand new)
- engine was rebuilt and the charging components look brand new(stator, regulator, wiring, etc.)
- wiring appears...
My 1984 150hp Johnson hasn't been charging.
I've only got .03 volts going back to the batteries coming out of the voltage regulator(red wire). I tested the lead on the end of the wire coming directly off the regulator which jumpers up with the #2 battery cable(going back to the battery switch)...
Alright, I'm becoming more familiar with outboard motors every day. I have water leaking(dripping) out of an oriface directly above the top spark plug when the car is idleing in my driveway. It's the oriface in that part bolted on just above the top spark plug in the picture. What is this part...
I wanted to get a new prop that will give my boat a good top speed / low end balance. With a little more towards top speed. What size and pitch prop should I get?
