    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Funny how many compression testers test incorrectly. Interesting that your 9.5 runs that low.... When working on outboards or chainsaws what have you, after 80 to 90 lbs I haven't had much luck. Maybe I'm to picky or have YOU checked your tester!! ; ) PS I don't think he should give up just...

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Whoa!!! Crosbyman on the war path! I know compression doesn't affect the pump but tells a story of how worn the motor is. (Rings, bearing, seals) All of those things could affect how the pump gets it power from. If you read the OP is not getting fuel out of his fuel pump and I just wanted to...

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Grease the splines but not the top, it won't go in all the way if you do. If the gearcase won't drop down (lack of greasing)then post again....some tricks but it's bad news. Your probably fine. Three bolts on the bottom, take your time and don't force them and then the gearcase will pull...

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Yes, the switch completes the grounding. (Normally open) so when you pulled the wire apart you stopped the grounding. Your switch is not releasing. You could try wd40 and pushing it a bunch of times but switch is a common failure. Water is coming out the exhaust relief holes so that's good but...

    Heating Johnson

    Your new battery went dead on two cylinder compression tests? That's odd.

    1993 4HP Johnson

    You will need a new kill switch part number 75 on this part list. Not always fun to replace by the way. Can't believe they didn't put a tell tail on a 93 but maybe. I'm working on an older 4 hp and really there is now way to tell. Check head temp or pull and make a visual on the impeller.

    1993 4HP Johnson

    There is an adjustment at the screw labeled #2 on the carb breakdown. Roller adjustment. Probably leave it alone until you see if it's running correctly.

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    I mean the motor might be done. Fuel pump works off of the crankcase, with your low compression it may no longer work. Spit balling really.

    Armature plate too tight when screws are tightened

    Funny, when I pulled the parts breakdown for that motor it didn't look like that. Where did you get that breakdown?

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Most people say junk. Better to rebuild....easy. 50 psi is not good. Check with another tester or test your tester on something else. It might be done.

    Winterize

    Remove the air box cover and run the motor. Spray the fogging oil down the throats of the carburators until it smokes like hell and shut it off. Make sure the motor is tilted down and the water is all drained out. Your winterized. Instructions should be on the cans.

    1994 150 after few minutes it's like you turn key off let cool for 5 min and will go another few min and repeat

    Congrats, probably about to be back on the water. I say keep the old rectifier but get rid of or replace the pissed off wife. They cost more!!! Yes, clean up the magnets. Cheers

    Johnson 50/35 Jet 5000 RPM at WOT

    Shouldn't matter much. By the way, you want your motor running somewhat cool....shoot the top of the head with an IR gun.
