All working correctly now. Racerone let me apologize to you as there was a gasket in the pump that wasn’t put in correctly. Your comment made me go back and do it all myself. There were 2 of us working on it and the internal housing gasket was left out. Once installed everything is working as it...
Replaced upper water tube grommet .
No restrictions noted. I took off the shift rod plate and water started flowing from exhaust, pisser and through the shift Rod hole. If I replace the plate no water flows. What next?
This is a 1988 power head and what looks to be an early 70’s lower unit and midsection. Changed the pump and the thermostat. When the lower came off the water tube came with it which is unusual for me. I have taken the lower off no less than 10 time to assure the pump was installed properly...
1988 Johnson 30 hp tiller long shaft. I removed the lower unit for a water pump change. I am having trouble reinstalling due to shifter issues. When I align the 2 shift rods to connect them and push them into place it will shift the lower into forward gear while the shifter stays in neutral. I...
I guess my question now is about throttle response on a four stroke versus the two stroke. After the ultrasonic cleaning it runs very well but does not have the immediate response the 2 stroke has. It seems to be a slower throttle response. This is my first 4 stroke so I am unaware of the...
A heated ultrasonic cleaner has been used to clean this carburetor and it is much better now. It will not give the burst of a two-stroke but that may be the nature of a four stroke. Any insight on a carbureted four stroke would be greatly appreciated.Runs great except for a fast hole shot.
My guess is the tilt cylinder is bad since the fluid pump is out of the top of the cylinder. On this particular model it is tilt only and no trim. It will not trim while under power.
