My 96 Johnson Faststrike is losing it's prime. At first, you could keep pumping the bulb up and it would run fine. Otherwise, it would die when you take off. So I replaced the gas line and new bulb. Now the new bulb is losing it's prime. I can open the gas tank cap and the bulb will fill...
What could cause my batteries to discharge while my boat is not being used. Like in less than a week. I have an onboard charger that I installed for all 3 batteries last summer and have the problem ever since. Coincidence?
I have a question that doesn't really pertain to a boat, but to the vehicle you use to tow your boat. I am in the market for a new truck and am looking for something that will tow a 19 ft Javelin and still get good mileage. Does anyone tow a large boat with a 4 cylinder vehicle successfully...

I have a 1996 Johnson Faststrike 150 hp. When I bought it a year ago, say I would run throw it in reverse real fast, the motor would bounce up and down a few times, like something wasn't holding it in place right. Also once last year in swift water it did the same thing. Yesterday when I...
I was thinking about getting a radio to install in my boat. does anyone know if it affects your fishing? Does it scare fish to hear a radio? Just wondering.
I hate to keep bothering the folks on this forum. This 1997 Johnson 150 does not have a kill switch. The guy that I bought it from said the 'plastic part' was missing when I bought it so I never thought much of it. It looks like some sort of 'Y' shaped part fits around the key switch. This...
My 1997 Johnson Faststrike that I just bought has FFI on the front of the engine. Does anyone know what this stands for? Is it fuel injected or carbureted?
I recently bought a 1997 Javelin with a 150 Faststrike. It had been sitting up for awhile. The speedo, at first, would stay stuck on 30mph. Now it's stuck on about 25 mph. The fuel guage indicator would also go back and forth from empty to full. Is there something that might clog up the...
This may be a stupid question, but I have a 1997 Johnson Fastrack 150hp and someone told me that the only difference in the 150 and the 175 is the jets in the carburetor. That you could actually upgrade the jets and you would have a 175 hp. Is that correct? And if I did that, would I get...
I have a 1991 Johnson 60hp motor. It belonged to an old man who let it set up the last few years of his life. I had the carbs cleaned, new filter, and new plugs. I still have a problem starting the motor. I will throttle up in neutral and try to crank it. After a few tries, it will start...
