    1996 225 Johnson Ocean Pro stalling...

    After finally getting my lower unit back together and installed, I can't get the motor to stay running in reverse? While the boat was down, I replaced the throttle/shift control and cables. The old cables had a lot of slack in them. Now, the motor does fine in forward gear and neutral idle...

    Johnson lower unit rebuild...

    I recently had some trouble with my 225 Johnson lower unit. The unit is a left hand rotation. I am interested in attempting to put my foot back together myself, simply for the fact that I have spent $1100.00 so far on parts. What is the proper or an effective way to shim my gears in the lower...

    Johnson lower unit parts...

    Evening all. I have a COUNTER ROTATING 1996 Johnson 225 Ocean Runner. I recently ran into some debris in the bay and damaged my lower unit. After inspection, I found that the "clutch shaft" and the "pinion gear" are the only parts damaged (along with the housing). Does anyone know where I...

    Johnson lower unit parts...

    Evening...<br />I have a counter rotating 1996 Johnson 225 Ocean runner. I recently ran over some debris in the bay and damaged my foot. All of the internal parts of the foot are good except the pinion gear and the clutch shaft, and the casing itself. I cannot find anyone who will sell just...

    Johnson 225 Ocean runner cold start....

    I have a 1996 225HP Johnson ocean runner. Since i've had the motor, it has always been a trouble to start. It usually takes 3-4 minutes of repeated cranking to get the motor to crank. This past weekend the motor refused to crank at the launch. I pulled a couple plugs and they were both...

    Still no spark...

    This is my third post so far about my 1996 225 Johnson Ocean Pro. The engine has no spark. I repaired a broken corroded wire between the stator and the power pack (brown/black). I ran all of the igintions tests in my book and everything seems to be fine. I am wondering of the problem maybe...

    Still no spark...

    I recently posted a topic about my 1996 225HP Johnson ocean pro with no spark. I have performed all of the tests in my manual, except a couple that required special equipment. Each tested resulted the way the manual said it was supposed to. The stator tested fine, but there was no way to test...

    No spark...

    I have a 1996 Johnson 225 Ocean Pro. When trying to crank, the engine keeps turning over-no fire. I tested a plug on each head and the plugs were firing. Shortly after, the engine tried to crank but never would run. About 20 minutes later, I tested the plugs again and they weren't firing...

    1996 225 Johnson Ocean Pro... Help!!

    I have been experiencing problems the last few times I have ran my motor. One problem is the motor "bucks" at a forward idle, almost like it is trying to go in and out of gear, some have said it is some type of bushing? Another problem is the motor will not run over 4200 rpm's where as it...
