    Johnson 25 Drive Shaft Sleeve Orientation Question

    Hi again, just rebuilt the water pump on my 25hp Johnson long shaft and there's a black plastic sleeve over the driveshaft bottom section with two o-rings on either end, presumably to keep water away from the shaft? Question is, there's asymmetry to the little collar on either end and I can't...

    1996 Johnson 25hp Fuel Pump Question

    Should the little white mushroom (or piston) shaped plastic piece internal to the fuel pump which is spring loaded and whose post sticks through the small hole in the back of the pump when the spring is compressed be poking in and out as the pump operates with the engine running? My engine is...

    Johnson 1995 25 HP Fuel Problems

    I haven't adjusted anything on the rods or stops and it ran perfectly until exhibiting it's current problem the day after a very bumpy ride back (in big waves) to the boat ramp. I'm showing pictures here of my carb ripped down. See the concentric tubes (don't know what they're called) and how...

    J25RLECB (1998 Johnson 25hp) electrical impedances, are these off?

    Again, motor runs perfect first pull and idle and midrange, but it in gear and try for WOT and it surges and dies. I've replaced the plugs and gapped them. I've been through the carb twice and am running new premium from separate tank. Compression is 120 on both cylinders. Motor looks like new...

    1998 Johnson 25hp, will only run at idle, help!

    2 stroke motor, pull start, has always run perfect even all last week, then all of a sudden I start it the other day and it will only run at idle. Can rev it in neutral, but put it in gear and give it throttle and in surges and will die unless I back it off, then it idles ok again. Thought...

    1998 Johnson 25hp idles but dies with throttle, ran perfect until yesterday

    Hi guys, my 1998 Johnson 2 stroke tiller has always run great, and has continued to run flawlessly to date this summer until today, completely out of the blue, I launch the boat and it runs fine at idle but sputters and dies when I give it throttle and try to go. It will rev up a bit in neutral...

    1996 V4 Rude 115hp, Sierra Impeller fins too big????

    Quick question (ok three), I just finished up my first (for me) water pump replacement on my L115GLEDC looper using the Sierra kit I bought, and all seemed to match the old one but the new impeller blades are wider than the old one (which is clearly toast). I’m using completely new cup...

    1996 Evinrude V4 Looper Carb Kit Question

    I am rebuilding the plastic bodied carbs with OMC kit 438996 for my 1996 Evinrude 115hp V4 Looper, L115GLEDC, and I have 2 questions: - How critical is it to take the carb manifold off? I see only the two small rectangular seals included in the kit for replacement, don’t know that the...

    What is Carb Spitback exactly?

    Hi all, I'm looking through the fuel system troubleshooting section of my OMC service manual for my L115GLEDC, 1996 V4, 115hp looper as I am trying to hunt down a fuel leak up by the carbs. I know I have a fuel leak when I squeeze the primer so I suspect gaskets or needle, etc. What got my...

    1996 Looper V4, 115 hp, L115GLEDC, fuel drip at carbs

    After great success replacing my blown voltage regulator on the weekend, I fired the motor up on the muffs to check the charging voltage and tach, all looks good now in that regard, and noticed that I have a fairly steady fuel drip from the right bank of carbs. Likely (hate to admit) it's done...

    1996 Looper V4, 115 hp, Help me pick new Regulator

    Hi Guys, Awesome forum. The regulator on my 1996 V4 Looper 115hp went bad on the weekend and melted dripping that black goop they mold onto the top of the unit all down the side of my engine block. Other than that and some charred wiring that looks isolated to the regulator (which I'll...

    Should all 15 year old VRO/OMS motors be converted to premix as a precaution?

    Just wondering what the overwhelming wisdom is on this issue. I have a 1996 VRO/OMS motor, 115hp looper V4, and from everything I can tell the oiler is still working fine and oil consumption is normal. Should I be scared as hell that my nice little world is going to come crashing down sometime...

    What is best service manual to buy for 96 Evinrude Looper 115hp?

    I have an aging but loyal old 115hp Evinrude workhorse that has served me well for years and I want to be able to keep up with anything she needs. Still on the original water pump (telltale is strong so why mess with it?), original gears, original carb kit, all I've ever done is change the gear...

    Metallic Ringing Noise from 1996 V4 Looper 115hp

    I have a very reliable 1996 looper Evinrude 115hp V4, never had a problem with it (knock on wood), still runs strong and is quiet and happy at half to full throttle. I'm noticing this summer that when I start it up it seems to idle and make a bit of a metallic ringing (perhaps even pinging?)...
