So I have been having the hardest time trying to figure out why I have no power at WOT, and why I cannot get off plane. I rebuilt all 3 carb's.... Float adjustments are correct, and I have 125 psi all 3 cylinders. But I still get fuel coming out of the carb's once the motor is turned off, and it...
So I took the boat out after rebuilding the carb's and at WOT it will now even come off of plane. And when I back the idle down it stalls and I have to pull the choke to start it back up and keep it at WOT just to get it back to the boat ramp. Very frustrated. There is gas coming out of the...
So I have a late 80's control box for my 73 Jhonson 65.... It is all connected and running fine except for 2 things. One is that in order to get spark I have to have the Black/ yellow stop circuit wire disconnected. And second when I turn the key I get no alarm buzz and my tachometer that I...
Rebuilt the carbs on my 73 65 Johnson. Starts right up and runs like a top, but after running it and turn it off... I notice fuel leaking out of carb's. I did the float adjustment like I should. Turn the carb body upside down and make sure it's parallel and also made sure the float drops only...
So I rebuilt my carbs and installed my new control box... and wouldn't start. Well come to find out there was no spark. So to try to narrow down the problem I used my old wire harness because it had perfect spark before i installed my new control box. Well it fired right up with the old wire...
So I just rebuilt my carb's today.... All new gaskets, needle valve, and seats. Motor was running before I did the rebuild, but just not running good. And now I cant even get it to start. I know I installed everything correctly. I think it's getting too much fuel.... I tryed choking it, using...
So I went to take my carbs apart to rebuild because the motor was running like it was loosing power when I throttled it up. So when I took the carbs off and apart the bottom Carb was missing the spring that holds the needle seat. And that is the cylinder that is off by 5 Psi compression. Can...
This guy is selling this control box.... trying to figure out if this is the one that will work for mine. Only thing is that is has a black plug at the end and mine is red coming from the motor.
Is it true on these motors you can start them without the wire harness hooked up? Someone told me that the cdi box will supply spark as soon as the flywheel is turned by jumping power from the starter solenoid and grounding it out?
I have 1973 Johnson 65 horse and I cannot seem to find the pee hole any where around the upper part of the motor. Is there even one? And if not where does the water come out, or how do I even know if the water is circulating right, or if the motor is running hot?
So I found out that the 73 johnson 65 i bought is a mechanical shift motor.... And it has 2 cables going to the motor from the control box.... and has a red plug at the end of the wire harness coming from the motor. So does that mean i can use any OMC, or Johnson control box with a red plug at...
