    Power Trim Issue - 1995 130 Johnson

    I have a 1995 130HP Johnson. Both the switch at the throttle and motor work properly. The motor will go down without a problem, and will not go up. This problem is intermittent, though today was not able to get the motor back up after numerous attempts. I tried switching the relays and that...

    Pitch vs. Diameter + Determining correct RPMS

    I own a 1995 18 ft Hydra Sports, that when loaded with fuel, gear and people weighs about 2800lbs. It's powered by a 1995 130HP 2 stroke Johnson outboard. When I purchased the boat, it came with a 15x17 OMC Aluminum Prop. This past weekend, I tried the OMC SST Stainless Prop 14.75X19 and was...

    1995 130 Johnson Overheat - Port Side

    My 130 Johnson seems to be a very sensitive motor. Last year I ran it all summer without thermostats. I inserted the stats again in December and ran it for a whole day - no problems. I used the boat this year and noticed that the port side was on the hot side - noticably different from the...

    Synthetic Gear Oil in a 1995 130 Johnson ? ok ?

    I was wondering if someone can confirm that the newer Synthetic Lower Unit oil is ok in some of the older motors. I recently purchased OMC - HPF Synthetic Gear Oil from my local dealer. He no longer carries the older "Hi Vis" oil. I noticed when I filled the lower unit it is much thinner in...

    DF 140 Suzuki Four Stroke - Enough Power ?

    I currently own a 1995 19ft Hydra Sports powered by a 130HP Johnson 2 Stroke. I am considering repowering with a 2003 Suzuki 140 Four Stroke, and I was hoping someone can comment on this motor. The total weight of the boat, fuel (85 gals), and motor is about 2,855 lbs. Would this motor be...

    Idle Timing - 130HP Johnson - 1995

    I have a 1995 130 HP Johnson that before I adjusted the idle timing, ran really rough between 1100-1500 RPMs. When I say rough, almost like a misfire. Yet at 800-1000 RPMs she was smooth as silk, and anything in excess of 1500 all the way to 5000 she didn't miss a beat. Nevertheless, I touched...

    Warning Buzzer - OMC v4 - Diagnosis

    I have a 1995 130hp Johnson - I used the boat fairly extensively on Saturday. Towards the end of the day, I was getting intermittent beeps from the warning horn. (it happened only 3-4 different times ) When I say intermittent, I mean that there was no cosistency to the tone. Typically when the...

    V4 Johnson Overheat Condition - 1995

    When I purchased this boat this year I installed new thermostats and waterpump. I did notice some sand present when replacing both of these items. Is there a way to clean / flush the heads using compressed air or water without taking apart the heads ? could sand possibly clog the stats ?

    Power Trim and Tilt - loss of pressure

    I have a 1995 130hp Johnson with power trim and tilt. If the motor is lifted all the way up, it will ever so slowly go down. I filled the resevoir with fluid this weekend and worked the motor up and down a number of times to purge the air. This didn't seem to be the problem. I also used...

    Tilt and Trim Issues - Hydraulic Resevoir Question

    I recently purchased a 1995 130HP Johnson that has tilt and trim. When the motor is raised, it will ever so slowly come down. I used soapy water around the seals to see if there was a leak, and didn't notice anything. I have a picture of the resevoir below. Can anyone tell me if you can take...

    95 Johnson 130 WOT Loss of RPM and power

    I have posted other problems - misfire loud popping etc - finally did a Sync & Link and engine runs smooth as silk at idle and at 2500 - now all 4 plugs are burning equal and I would say on the wet side. But - that's it can't get her on plane, can't rev over 2500 at WOT. All checks were done in...

    Johnson 130 with CDI - Good Timing Light

    I borrowed an old Craftsman Timing Light & it worked for a few minutes and then I assume the bulb blew out - I bought an inexpensive light for 20 bucks as reading through the forums some people say the inexepnsive ones usually have no problems - I've read some high end Snap On's don't work well...

    1995 Johnson 130hp Carbuerator Question

    I have a bad misfire which after doing all of the electrical checks as per the OMC book, my next step was to look at the carburetors. In reading the manual (which I am almost certain is the correct one) it references an"internediate air bleed orifices " in the upper left corner which I checked...
