    What are these fuel line sizes? '90 J140

    Re: What are these fuel line sizes? '90 J140 Well unfortunately the only marina here that could probably get it for me is going to take a while to fix their inventory once the finish a big remodeling job. The small fuel lines are just lost right now. They're a good shop I believe them. Normally...

    What are these fuel line sizes? '90 J140

    1990 Johnson 140 I'm replacing all of my fuel lines because they are badly ethanol eaten. A local dealer had my 5/16 but was in the middle of a huge remodeling and couldn't find any of the two smaller lines that I need to route into and around the carbs. West Marine just plain didn't have the...

    1987 Evinrude 200 looper or crossflow?

    Re: 1987 Evinrude 200 looper or crossflow? I bought it! Absolute steal, too at $500. He says one cylinder bank is 85 and one is 95. Couldn't test because the only battery he had on hand was very low and had a hard time turning it over so I figured there was no point in pushing the issue. I...

    1987 Evinrude 200 looper or crossflow?

    I'm going to go see a 1987 evinrude 200 model E200TXCUC tomorrow. It's going to be a teardown project motor. Seller says it came non-functional on a boat he bought, couldn't get it to spark, installed a used stator, still didn't spark, and didn't want to keep putting money into it. I figure for...

    Starboard side not pulling its weight J140

    1990 johnson 140 I'm having trouble idling when in the water. It idles great on the muffs. Two weeks ago it idled perfectly in the water, and at the end of the day it wouldn't stay idling. Max RPMs 4200, normal max 5600. Idled at 500 in the water when it would, normally 750. Spark test showed...

    1990 140hp jets wrong?

    Cleaning out the orifices on my 1990 johnson 140 I found the idle bleed jets are wrong. http://www.boats.net/parts/search/BRP/JOHNSON/1990/J140TLESE/CARBURETOR%20AND%20LINKAGE/parts.html This has the idle bleeders as #41 but the ones I have are 36, and the bottom starboard looked more like 39...

    1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough?

    Re: 1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough? Definitely missing those parts. They fit into the cap as one assembly. A repair shop sold me a used adjustment cap with those parts in it for $10. nice. The two dealerships around here were $22 + wait for delivery and any delivery fee they might have...

    1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough?

    Re: 1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough? Edited out dumb comment :) I just took another look at the parts diagram. Am I missing 86 , 88, and 90? From the pics in the last post I have the spark advance rod sticking out by its self, the cap, and the lock ring. Guess so. Another trip to the...

    1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough?

    Re: 1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough? Now that I have the J140TLES model number verified from BRP I was finally able to buy the factory service manual and decided to redo some maintenance.Carb kit and jet/bleeders are going to wait for the weekend. I'm redoing the synchronization and...

    Head gasket change Evinrude 140

    Re: Head gasket change Evinrude 140 Starboard side cleaned up Way easier than the port. Starboard top was pretty flaky and barely needed any solvent. Solvent did more to shine it up than clean it. Then the bottom was quite clean and good looking, barely anything in there at all. Same deal where...

    Head gasket change Evinrude 140

    Re: Head gasket change Evinrude 140 I put the head back on and compression tested. Last time the motor was warm and it was a little dark out which could have affected my readings. Port top and bottom (the side i just did) are both exactly 130 Starboard top and bottom are 135 and 130 They...

    Head gasket change Evinrude 140

    Re: Head gasket change Evinrude 140 Thanks all. My manual has them at 20lbs so that's where they'll go and this time around I'll make sure that I check up on them after 10 hours. So far this morning I've gotten started scraping with a dull scraper and light sandpaper and an air compressor...

    Head gasket change Evinrude 140

    1990 Evinrude 140 About a year and a half ago a shadetree mechanic (who for a price taught me that it was best do to my own work and that's about all I got for my money..) replaced my head gaskets (and broke a few other things). He clearly didn't tighten them down very well and there's been a...

    1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough?

    Re: 1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough? Finally moved it last night. It was at the deepest setting out of the 4. I moved it up 2 holes so there's one left. In hindsight I wish I'd just moved it all the way up. Will post results once it's cured and I get it in the water.

    1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough?

    Re: 1990 evinrude 120 4600rpm WOT enough? I may just take you up on this. I guess it's the powerband having been drastically moved around, but it porpoised hard with this gearcase and no fins. I didn't notice the first few times out because there was a good bit of chop that week. With the...

My electronics are run off of a tiny deep cycle separate from my dedicated starting battery and I'd like to be able just put a small clean switch...

    motor mounting height and porpoising

    1990 140hp evinrude 16' cape horn See attached. It's porpoising a lot and I was told by a local prop shop that my motor is mounted too low. I went there because the awful porpoising started after i swapped from the V6 gearcase that was on the motor when I bought it, to the V4 gearcase it ought...

    Rebuilding tilt and trim '90 140

    Re: Rebuilding tilt and trim '90 140 Maybe it's skills, maybe it's luck.. but :D Progress already. Got the clip side all the way in. It doesn't want to budge more than that right now.

    Rebuilding tilt and trim '90 140

    Re: Rebuilding tilt and trim '90 140 I couldn't find a brass drift locally but did find that a 6" extension for a 1/2" ratchet is perfect. The socket side is nicely sized to strike a large surface without getting too near the edges and the ratchet side gives a nice large surface to hit with my...
