    1986 30hp Johnson newly obtained, not starting

    You might have flooded it. Did you have the throttle in the start position? I believe once you figure it out it will be a piece of cake. Here is the procedure again, just more detailed.

    1986 30hp Johnson newly obtained, not starting

    Okay, I'm pretty sure it'll run okay you just don't know how to start it. So next to the start button is a knob and you think it's a choke but it is not. It's a fuel primer. So follow these steps, and let's see if it'll run. First of all I'm assuming you've got it hooked up to water or you've...

    1986 30hp Johnson newly obtained, not starting

    Okay, my goof. My 1987 30 horse Johnson has the clip and that must have been the first year. I know what you're talking about about how the switch doesn't feel like it's going in but it is. Just a little bit. So what's your knowledge of this motor? Like racer says, you have a primer and not a...

    Should be something like these.

    1986 30hp Johnson newly obtained, not starting

    Yes, the kill switch serves two purposes. One, if you push it in it turns off the motor but it also has a little clip in it with a little string that you clip to your body. If it pulls out of there it also kills the motor. If you lost that clip when you transported it it will not start. Do you...

    1986 30hp Johnson newly obtained, not starting

    People on here will want a model number. Is it a tiller motor? Could be as simple as the clip on the man overboard switch.

    Help please! 1988 Johnson outboard lack of power and stalls.

    Amazon fuel pump is crap, you didn't tell anyone the HP or better yet the model number. Could be many things so maybe slow down, and systematically rule out things.

    Doesn't your tach have all the warning lights?

    93 Johson 150hp fuel issue

    How does one know what a full bowl looks like? When you remove the bowl everything that's in there is no longer displacing the fuel making it appear low. Put the carb back on without the carb bowl and while pumping the fuel ball see if the float switch is regulating the fuel. (Manually adjust it...

    1960 Evinrude Fastwin Stutter

    Yes, the crank will need to be cleaned up because most likely it got scraped up with the old key...in fact to many times and it's unfixable. There is plenty of places online stuff about how to use compounds to clean it up. Sorry your running into so many problems.

    1996 Johnson V4 130HP Intermittent Power Loss

    If it's peeing strong, than that just means the pump is working.... doesn't mean it's cooling. Could be bad thermostats or all the passage ways could be plugged. Having a alarm not hooked up would have only exasperate that problem. Overheat might set off a safe or limp mode. Run the engine and...

    1996 Johnson V4 130HP Intermittent Power Loss

    Have you checked to see if the motor is overheating? Have you checked for spark after it has symptoms? Have you checked compression? Motor will always seem fine with no load....( Neutral )

    1993 Evinrude 200 TXT Peeing but no water at thermostats

    Pull the heads which would show all of the head passages and access to the areas around the cylinders. Hopefully someone can give you more opinions on the limp mode tests first.

    2005 J90PLSOA only firing on right 2 cylinders

    Better experts on here on the whole limp mode stuff. Port side has what I believe the brown wire and the white wire. Forget which wire causes that. By the way, that's the sensor that is really hard to get and expensive. I did kind of get ahead of myself, is water pump TT flowing? Did you get any...

    1993 Evinrude 200 TXT Peeing but no water at thermostats

    I wouldn't allow much pressure to build because you could blow a gasket somewhere. The more I 🤔 nk about it probably best to just remove things and go through all the water passages.

    1993 Evinrude 200 TXT Peeing but no water at thermostats

    Never heard of anyone doing that but that just might work. Also, removing the lower end should be safer. Trying to analyze this....water coming out TT so it's not the draw tube....and it's not the passages past the stat because no water is getting to the stat, so there must be one spot past the...

    2005 J90PLSOA only firing on right 2 cylinders

    Not sure I'm the man here but the key thing you said was "you limped it in" it might be in limp mode. You said you unhooked the overheat sensor....was that the port side? Port side sensor is the one that puts it in limp mode and there is a way to test that.

    1993 Evinrude 200 TXT Peeing but no water at thermostats

    To understand this correctly you "ran it" with the thermostat covers off and no water came out....correct? Not sure there is an easy way here, and applying water at the foot would not back flush. Did you try spraying water into the thermo housing? That may back flush?? Water doesn't cool the...
