    Tachometer problem, 97 60 hp

    I have a 1997 60 hp Johnson that has the system check setup. The boat came without a tachometer and only had the horn and the small gauge with the indicator lights.

    A simple thing that irritates me in the online world

    I have a 79 Merc 80 HP 4 cyl I just transfered from a runabout to a pontoon boat. When on the runabout it ran good without a miss. Now that I transfered the motor to the pontoon it seems to have a miss at low and high speed operation. It is sometime intermittent and sometimes consistant...
