    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    It's fixed. The linkage rod was upside down. It's good to go now. Time to put it in the water.

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    After spending the entire winter disassembling and reassembling with a few new parts I have finally got it all together and running way better. Among the defects 2 broken coil packs, 1 broken ignition wire, wrong spark plugs, missing cam roller, loose timing linkage. I only broke 1 bolt the...

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    I broke down and pulled the shift cable and found I can barely pull or push the cable so that will need replacing. I bench tested the throttle control and it all works smoothly since I tore it apart cleaned it up some and lubed it real good. I did notice the throttle cable is new and now have...

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    It's been a while but the flywheel key is fine and I have not solved the idle issue but realize it's beyond my capability and will require some professional assistance. I have had it in the water and it runs great at throttle although I am having an issue with the throttle binding up when trying...

    I didn't realize you were talking about that key. Yes that would be a problem. I would have to investigate that further.

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    My plan is to put it in the water today and check the tach. All I have is the dash tach but it will have to be good enough. I did get it in the 1100-1200 range. It runs rough. I am going to contact the seller and ask how long he let it sit in the yard because the last time I had this problem I...

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    I did not but that's a good suggestion. I was only using the tach on the dash out of the water. I will definitely try that hopefully tomorrow. Good suggestion. I will keep you informed. You obviously have more knowledge about outboards than me. I'm very experienced with engines but not so much...

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    the compression test was 115-120 on all 4 with cold motor. Excellent spark as well. Just a note but I turned the idle down the other day and when I started it this time it was right at 2000. Also I noticed paint on the TDC Mark and from experience I put paint on the mark I'm trying to set it to...

    I will definitely do that as soon as I get my hands on a compression tester. The spark test I can do.

    It's a J115TLE and the previous owner said the compression numbers were all in the 120 range.

    96 115 johnson won't run on low idle

    I have a 115 johnson that has recently had the carbs rebuilt, new plugs and wires. The fuel pump has been replaced with a pump that has no oiler so the gas has to be mixed. The motor runs fine except if I try to set the proper idle is eventually pukes. I've only been able to run it idling at...

    Gas spits out when refueling and engine won't idle

    I have a bass tracker pro team 185 with a merc 75 outboard. I've had the engine serviced and it starts and runs great but it won't idle and when I try to refuel the gas just spits out unless I go really slow with the refueling like the tank is not venting properly so it just keeps burping up...
