Johnson 115HP J4978864.<br />I think they said it was a "Sea horse" model??? Any information would be helpful. I was told it was filled with red mystery oil and stored for three years. It was on a boat that was wrecked and the front part of the boat was under water and the rear up in the air...
Can you have a motor for a 115 Johnson T&T motor rebuilt or do you have to replace the motor with a new one? Any ideas at what cost each option would run? Thanks again for any and all help.
I would greatly appreciate help. I have a 1990 Johnson on a pontoon boat. No tilt and trim. I have always raised and lowered it manually with no problem. There is a locking and release lever on the right side of the mount (facing the motor from the rear) that allows me to release to raise and...
I took my pontoon boat out of the water for the season today. I attempted to manually raise the engine to place on a rest (no tilt or trim) for trailering. The motor will not let me raise it up. I release the side release to unlock it and it will not allow me to move it. It still acts as though...
1987 evinrude XP150. I noticed a build up of oil on the engine, especially around carbs. I thought about spraying heavily with brake cleaner to "clean it up". I was worried about the effect of brake cleaner on rubber hoses and other parts. What do you think?
I just bought a 1987 evinrude XP150. The previous owner never used a decarbonizer. He owned two years, do not know about previous owner. Local mechanic recommended using omc engine tuner. He said to spray into carburators, then remove spark plugs and inject directly into cylinders. I bought the...
I am disconnecting and removing my VRO pump on an 1987 evinrude XP150. I understand from many post here that the VRO pump is both a oil pump and fuel pump. Does that mean that I will have to install an electric fuel pump if I remove the VRO pump?
We are putting my Johnson 40 HP 1990 model back together after replacing a burnt piston. When we removed the flywheel, we noticed it had been rubbing the ignition component. There was evidence where the flywheel had been rubbing the plastic. I sanded the flywheel inner surfaces to clean. When...
I am rebuilding my 40 HP Johnson. I am replacing one piston and had the cylinder bored to 20 over and have a 20 over piston. The repair manual says the ring gap should be between 7-17 thousands, it actually measures 20 thousands by feeler guage. I know this is a two stroke and not a four stroke...
I am told that when putting my motor back together, the only sealent or adhesive to use is locktite 518 gasket eliminator. If this is good advice, where can I find this?
I have a two cylinder with one burnt piston and cylinder wall. I am being told to replace one piston with an oversize after Boring the one cylinder wall to .020 over (Hopefully that is all that will be required). I am being told since the other cylinder wall and piston look fine to leave it...
I am looking to replace a burnt piston, and I have found two companies that make pistons for my 1990 40HP Johnson. Pro and Wysco. Any ideas of the quality of these products or suggestions for others? Any suggestions on where to purchase on line with these or other companies?<br />Thanks.
Some of you have been kind enough to help me with my 1990 40 HP Johnson TJ40ELESR. I now have the power head off and found what I suspected. My lower piston is shot (burnt) and the cylinder wall is burnt. The cylinder head (cover) is also damaged. I am wondering what is the best repair? Do they...
