I checked the compression ant it’s between 115-120 on all 4 cylinders. Spark easily jumps a 7/16” gap. The fast start works and the idle drops after a few minutes on initial start up.
The problem I’m now having is when coming into the dock and I slow to idle speed I’m getting a lean sneeze that...
I have replace the switch as it was faulty. The starter was so worn it wouldn’t crank so I replaced it and the motor fired up right away. I have removed and cleaned the VRO oil tank, filled it with fresh oil and am running premix in the tank until I know for sure the VRO system is working. I...
I had to replace the starter as the old one was so bad it wouldn’t even crank the motor over. Once I installed the new starter the motor fired up instantly. I ran the boat for about a half hour without any problems. I pulled into my dock and let it idle for a while then shut it down. I let it...
I’ll be heading home from the lake tomorrow to pick up the starter that arrived today. Once installed I’ll do a compression test and repeat the spark test I did 1 1/2 weeks ago. I’m hoping the issue is something simple.
Last week I took my (new to me) boat out. I ran up the lake a few miles to my fishing spot. When I slowed down the motor died. I tried restarting it several times but it wouldn’t go. The motor would crank over, fire up then die within a second. I had starting issues while getting it ready for...
Ok. Thank you. I was able to remove the plastic tag and clean it enough to be able to read it. The tank is 22 gallons. I did another search and got one hit that showed this model has a 22 gallon fuel tank.
I have a 1999 Lund adventure fisherman 1750 SE. I have searched this model online but come up empty. All that I can find is either a 1700 or 1800 Adventure. I believe this model may be a Canadian model. It is equipped with a 1999 Johnson 115 non Ficht outboard motor. I have to replace the fuel...
Ok. Thanks. I thought maybe the the trim gauge switch had something to do with it. I just got the boat and to lower the motor I had to remove the bracket to do so. I’ll let you know how I make out.
As usual, this forum is very helpful.
I have a 99 Johnson 115 (non fict) and have an issue using the flip down trailering bracket. For some reason the motor will not tilt high enough to let the bracket drop to its rest position. The motor seems to be fully tilted but when I swing the bracket down it hits the trim/tilt pump assembly...
I have a chance to pick up an unused 2024 Mercury 9.9 EFI prokicker still in the crate for a really good price. I would like to run a side mount control box but have no idea which box is compatible with this motor. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking for either Quicksilver or...
I had the head resurfaced before I assembled it. Had maybe 2 hours of run time before it blew. My brother is a machinist so I’ll have him give it a looksy.
That’s the one thing I haven’t been able to check. I’m currently off sick from work and unfortunately my compression tester is in my tool box there. I’ll ask a couple friends if the have one I can borrow.
