Re: Removing 130 hp ocean runner from boat
Steering arm painted and sealed. Probably as long as I keep up with it and repeat each year it may last as long as the motor.
I need to replace wiper seals in my tilt trim unit and cannot budge the pin connecting the tilt ram and swivel bracket. Would like to avoid the blue wrench (torch) if possible. Any advice. 2000 j130vxsss.
I have several projects going on with my boat currently. Last season my battery was not charging well so I am looking into it. I checked the stator wires and the resistance on the yellow/gray and yellow wires was 1.5 ohms. Requirement is .7 +/- 0.05. Boat ran ok otherwise. This is a CDI stator...
I need to remove my 130 ocean runner from boat and have several questions. I do have the OMC shop manual and must say how much of an improvement it is to the aftermarket manuals. I will remove lower unit as I want to leave steering tube on boat, guessing weight load would be around 300 pounds...
I have reached the point where I need to remove the steering shaft /arm from my motor which is still attached to the boat. Can this job be done by removing the two bolts attaching the arm to the adapter plate between the powerhead and midsection and then the four bolts in the bottom swivel...
Got a 2000 j130 vxsss and have a question about rectifier output. My tach seems to register low when below 1000 rpm. Registering 500RPM and sometimes less, in gear, sometimes zero. Tach is not bouncing around and seems to be correct in upper end as RPM at wot are same as they were before this...
I want to check compression on my motor to get a baseline for future knowledge in case I need to check in the future while troubleshooting. I have a two wire push button setup I used to use on cars so I could bump a motor from under the hood without the key. One wire hooks up to battery side (6...
I have a 700gph rule aerator pump from year 2000. The through hull broke and I noticed that it comes off the bottom of the pump with 4 phillips head screws. Is there anywhere to get parts for these older style pumps. The pump precedes the replaceable cartridge types.
My tach is not bumping around but seems to have a problem at RPMs below 1000. When in the water out of gear holds right around 1000 rpm but when I put in gear it drops sometimes to zero, sometimes two hundred sometimes 600.... Once I increase throttle all good. At wot I am getting a reading of...
I have a j130 vxsss and noticed a gray residual like oil and water on one of my top plugs. Engine is not down on power but not ideling well when in gear at 700 rpm. I am suspecting a head gasket issue. Will be doing a compression test tomorrow, 2 years ago they were all 125psi after cranking...
I have 130 johnson 2000. it loses spark after about 20 minutes under load. It comes back after about 4 hour cooldown. Stator charge side was bad so replaced stator. Now charging and rectifier tests good. Tested stop circuit and got no voltage from switch side (black/yellow) until engine ran on...
Is there a test for the different poles on a key switch? The key switch on my boat works without the lanyard on it. In other words the spring loaded center section is always in the out position. Is that correct?
