    Break in, how many tanks of gas?

    89 Johnson 65, new bore, pistons, rings, rod bearings. How many tanks of gas before I can treat it as broken in? Also is it better to let it run below 5000 rpm at part throttle or keep it between 5 and 6 thousand despite the throttle? Thanks.

    New rectifier overcharging?

    I hooked the battery up backwards and blew my old rectifier. I installed a new one from brp. Now it overcharges, 17 volts or better. The stator test for ohms reads correctly and the motor runs strong (after full rebuild). The new rectifier reads kilo ohms for a brief second and then opens up...

    Rectifier cooked, ok to still test motor?

    In my haste this morning I hooked up my battery backwards. I literally just finished putting the motor back together from a rebuild and stupid me, here we are. At least that's the worst thing to go wrong so far, if you don't include the parts and machine shop work. I did read Joe's topic on...

    Rod "hole" location. 89 65 Johnson.

    I didn't make any notes on dissasembly and now I don't know. My book says the holes go upwards, but my rods have only one hole and it can either face the exhaust side or not? It can't face up. Does it matter? Can someone answer this? Thanks

    After boring my 89 triple 65, I will end up with .0055" final piston clearance. Is this a good number?

    Make a 65 a 75?

    Is it possible just by changing jets, or are there changes in exhaust etc.?

    Ring end gap

    I am boring my 3 cylinder Johnson. It is around a '89, but has been worked on before so I am not sure what to believe. It cracked the # 3 piston after maybe 20 hours of use on a "rebuild", (Not me) possibly incorrectly as it appears to me that a ring turned on the piston and caught a port...

    Broken piston 89 65

    Over the weekend my motor made some bad noises and shut down. Upon inspection the lower piston is broken off, at the upper intake port. It appears as if the ring end gap is in the middle of the port? Would over reving not under load, cause this ring to be able to spin? The motor has less than...

    Carb screw?

    1996 6HP 'rude.<br />Facing the intake, top left side of the carb, in the middle, there is a spring loaded screw.<br />I assume it is a low speed fuel screw or an air pilot for the idle/low speed tract.<br />I have it 4 turns out from closed, and it idles extremely well, small adjustments will...

    New cdi question

    Bought a new BRP CDI.<br />Book calls for part # 0582285, box labeled 0582285, however on the pack, it is identified as 0582281.<br />Is this a problem, or is BRP just using old stock for updated parts?

    Merc starter problem

    I have a Mercruiser I/O 6 cylinder 175HP.<br />Near the end of last season I started having trouble when I would turn the key to start it, nothing would happen. Just a barely audible clicking noise near engine. After a few tries of turning the key it usually kicks in and starts.<br />I am about...
