    I've got a new to me 07 Vmax 150 (carb'd). It runs and starts fine. I am looking it over and was curious about the operating temps on these. I idled and ran the motor for proababy 30 min and then idled back to the dock. I took the cover off with the motor running and put my hand on every...

    Reputable Repair Shops near Nashville, TN

    Do any of you guys know of a good Johnson repair shop near Nashville, TN? Specifically, one who is familiar with carb jetting. I already took it to one shop and was charged even though the problem was never fully fixed, so I would like to avoid that again. I am pretty certain it can't be...

    Upper drive shaft seal

    Motor is a 94 Johnson J200stlerk. I was draining the lower unit to replace for the winter, and it came out milky....again. It was fixed about two years ago, because the plate below the water pump was worn out and the upper drive shaft seals were chewed up from the play. The seals were...

    Broken Piston Ring

    I have a 94 Johnson Venom 200. The motor was rebuilt a little more than a year ago. It ran great until the other day. I made it to my spot and it cut out while idling and when I started it back up it began knocking and running very rough, so I cut it off and trolled back. When I got home I...

    Yet another lower unit question...

    I have a 94 Johnson Venom and I noticed that it has leaked some lube on the driveway out of one of the lower water drain holes. The next thing I did was check the lower unit oil...its milky green. So I drained it and pressure tested it. It wouldn't hold any pressure at all. I bought the boat...
