    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    Is your installed OEM "regulator" the Sierra unit you bought? If so, it is a rectifier only.....no voltage regulation....maybe try the CDI unit and see if it lowers the volts. I would not wire them both up.

    Struggling to install lower unit....Force 90Hp

    Take the spark plugs out and the flywheel will turn real easy....like racerone said get a helper to turn it while you muscle the LU on. Good idea to at least remove the plug wires when moving the flywheel anyway.

    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    If you look up that part # on the CDI website there is an installation PDF....it says to use the existing mounting bolts, so I reckon it mounts in the same spot. Doesn't say anything about adding a heat sink.

    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    If you can add water to it then it's not a real maintenance free battery. Should be good.

    https://forums.iboats.com/threads/if-you-have-high-charge-voltage-please-read.249235/ This thread has some info about your problem.....I did the conversion and it fixed my high voltage problem......also CDI says to only use regular lead acid batteries, no maintenance free, AGM, or dry cell...

    Doing some research on adding tilt trim

    The kingpin is what's holding the engine on....to remove it you would need a lifting eye mounted on top and a hoist.....major job. Do a search on here for "kingpin" and you will see what is involved.

    70s Chrysler 16hp outboard funny runner

    If unknown when the impeller was last changed you might want to do that first.....if it goes then anything else you do won't matter....found out the hard way a long time ago.

    E85 in Chrysler outboard?

    https://forums.iboats.com/threads/e15-and-no-rec-gas.755985/ This thread talks about how bad E15 is......E85 would probably kill an old Chrysler 2-stroke or any old outboard or small engine. If you are worried about the environment then get a 4-stroke engine.

    Force 85 trim

    Good deal.....those tilt/trim motors usually outlive the outboard motor it is mounted on. Might check/clean the electrical connections...in the switch and the battery. Might be time for a new battery too. A bad battery could cause the clicking you heard....not enough juice to turn it over...

    Force 85 trim

    That knurled knob where the green arrow is pointing is where you add oil. Engine must be in full down position when adding or checking. Use SAE 30 non detergent oil only. Add oil until it comes out....let the excess run out, then screw in the knurled knob securely, but not so tight as to...

    Cover over propeller drive shaft?

    One of these? It slides on the end of the prop shaft and covers the prop nut. Not used on Force engines I believe.

    Battery(s) for 1979 Chrysler 115 outboard

    120 PSI on all cylinders? BTW....replace the impeller with a brand new one, don't just check it. You will already have the LU off anyway. IF the housing is in bad shape might need to get a complete pump kit. Impeller should be changed out every few years anyway.

    Battery(s) for 1979 Chrysler 115 outboard

    "I got a boat passed down to me and it hasn’t run for some time." Since this engine is 43 years old and been setting up I would start with the basics.....do a compression and spark test. Change the impeller before running the engine as it is probably in bad shape. That new battery should...
