    Overheating Alarm at WOT 1992 Johnsons J140TLANS 140HP

    Not sure I'm the right expert here but I believe each side should read the same, heat wise. Sounds to me that you have some blockage somewhere. My brother had problems with something called "popoffs" which affected his alarm and cooling. So maybe research and see if your motor has those. I...

    1973 85 hp evinrude motor problem

    A few questions. Do you have a omc control box, if so send pictures. Also, how do you know the starter is good? One last thing, did you try to jump the solenoid or use the key?

    1993 25hp Johnson 2 Stroke - Throttle Control

    I would try to find this kind. Does your wiring harness have the big red plug under the cowling? There used to be tons of them.

    I don't recognize that throttle system but try Craigslist for a stock side mount omc control box.

    1973 85 hp evinrude motor problem

    If it's a cranking problem it's most likely either the key switch, starter or the solenoid. If you know how to jump a solenoid try that. If that works replace the solenoid.

    Alarm goes off when trying to turn key on

    Well, shoot tough one from my seat. Ive had several 90's in that era and a 110 that's basically the same motor. This should have the omc control box that goes back to the motor with what we call the red plug. (Has a big red pull apart plug inside the cowling)from the motor side of the plug it...

    1984 sylvan w/ 110 v4 evinrude lost key

    Well, I've seen and used the dealers key ring and that's what it looked like. Being eBay not sure but it say like 100 something sold. Once you find the right key any key person can make you copies. Here's the thing though, those key switches do go out. So purchasing a new switch that comes with...

    1984 sylvan w/ 110 v4 evinrude lost key

    Here is another way. Omc made 17 keys (not very secure really) most dealers have the master set. Someone on eBay started selling them making them even more insecure. Oh well I guess. Anyhow, here is the link...

    15 Hp Johnson won't plane 12 foot boat.

    I believe this could be the culprit too. That 15 should go like hell on a 12 foot boat. Unless it's some tank fiberglass boat. I have a 12 ft alum boat with a 8 hp. When alone I have to shift my wait WAY forward until I get on a plane. Once on a plane, goes like hell. If I stay in the back and...

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    Also, what's the pinched off tube for? The second time it died the rpm's went way up so I think in leaned out and that why it ran up so fast just before dying.

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    I couldn't find a 3.5 until 2002 and the model number for that is J3rsnf. Anyway, I never saw an online filter. I would bypass it and see what happens.

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    I don't remember an online fuel filter on mine. Check the parts breakdown and see if that is stock. Could be restricting, otherwise float bowl could be working incorrectly.

    1998 johnson 115 lower unit leak

    Prop shaft might be scored? Dealer usually does a pressure test even though one guy told me the true way is a vacuum test. Could you be confused with just a rich running outboard with dripping down through the exhaust? Usually if there is a leak you will get water in with the oil.

    Debug Weak Spark on Lower Cylinder 1998 8hp.

    I had a slightly older one and if I'm correct with yours instead of 2 separate coils (one for each cylinder) it had one duel coil with two leads. I lost spark to one cylinder and a shop had to find it for me. So to answer one of your questions, yes one side can fail.

    9.9 electric start

    Here is a breakdown of a 1996. Not sure it's your model but this is what it should have. Part number 2. The main hot (red) wire from the starter should go to it...

    Stopped working

    Might sound like a stupid question but did you check for spark before you did all this?

    9.9 electric start

    That should have a starter solenoid somewhere on the motor. Start button goes to the solenoid and then to the starter. Follow the starter wires to it. You can manually jump the solenoid to see if that is the problem. If so replace it.
