    Seaweed on the Middle Texas Coast

    Heard some reports recently that the seaweed in May and early June was pretty bad around Port A, Mustang Island and North Padre. Can anyone from the area confirm what's happening presently. Me and the family are planning a trip down there in mid July - what's the chances is won't be so bad then?

    No spark whatsoever!

    '77 140 hp with TnT. No spark on any cylinder. Performed all ohm tests in OEM manual and everything checked out fine. I obviously don't have a "neon test light" as recommended in the book to test stator output and powerpack - however I replaced the stator and powerpack last summer. Also, I...

    '77 Johnson 140 hp stator

    My parts catalogue(an OMC which lists parts and breakdowns for the 85, 115 and 140 hp motors)lists two stator assemblies. Part # 581225 (6 amp) and Part # 581680 (12 amp). A footnote at the bottom of the page indicates that the 12 amp stator is for 140 HP TNT models only. I ordered the 12 amp...

    Hey Kenny, I looked through a 3M catalogue for #847 (substitute for OMC sealant Type M). Couldn't fine a 3M product with that number. Do you know what the 3M product is called? Does it come in a small round can with a brush attached to the lid?

    '77 Johnny 140 hp carbs.

    I must have messed something up somewhere when I rebuilt the carbs on my 140 hp. I was having a poor idling problem and had never rebuilt the carbs so I decided to give it a shot after reading several posts here and figuring it wasn't too difficult. Before the rebuild, I would pump up the ball...

    Ignition switch '77 140 hp Johnson

    I've been having trouble getting the motor to start. Yesterday, a new development occurred. After cranking it for a couple of seconds, I switched the key back to off and the starter continued to crank the motor. I had to undo the positive cable to the battery to stop the cranking. After a...

    '77 Johnson 140 roars back to life!!!

    History: motor starts great after carb and fuel pump rebuild (rough idle), runs great from idle to WOT. Stop in middle of lake, won't ever start and have to be towed.<br />Upon an inspection at home, discover that the stator has melted and dripped, replace stator and still no start. Perform ohm...

    OBJ, Dhadley, JB......

    Referring to OBJ's suggestion in my previous post "about at my wits end" of checking the timer base with a volt meter. Could any of ya'll give me some detailed instructions on how to perform this, i.e. where to apply the red and black wires of the tester and which setting should I use on the...

    '77 Johnson 140 won't start

    As stated below, motor will crank but will not fire up. Motor is getting fuel to cylinders but spark is weak and maybe erratic at all cylinders. Replaced power pack and had same results, upon closer inspection I discovered that the stator was oozing and leaking. I ordered (two stators were...
