    1990’s Johnson/evinrude v4 similarities

    What years on the motors? The gear ratio could be different, without the years/hp it would be hard to look up the parts.

    Starter Solenoid?

    Unhook one lead from the start button. If the starter still turns, then the solenoid is faulty. A 12Volt test light is a real good tool to have in your tool box. Don't buy a cheapo.

    Transom clamp removal

    2000 115 Johnson. The clamps have been soaked in salt water for years. The snap rings were hard to remove(painted over) and the pins are frozen in place. I tried a propane torch to remove the tilt ram pin, didn't budge. I have a acetylene torch but want to make sure I'm not missing something...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    Looks like TSM is the better way to go. Probably get the bearing kits too. See if the shop can cut .020 instead of .030 That will leave room for a future rebuild. Was at work one day and a customer brings in a boat and says the motor just blew up??? Comp low on 2 cyl. He said I have no idea...

    High idle

    There's no tach, but from experience it's way past the idle. I'd say 3k plus. On hose. No tach hooked up. Another customer has the same motor and it runs good on the hose and drops down like it's supposed to?? Talked to owner last night, he says he got the motor to slow down by adjusting the...

    High idle

    Two part epoxy for the magnet, clamped in place. Worked good. Started it after freeing the trigger and magnet repair. The rpm's went down but not nearly enough. Seems like the quick start isn't kicking out? This is the first repair that I couldn't fix. Usually with help from here and that...

    Leak Exhaust gasket?

    Yes the gasket is probably bad. Make sure the mating surfaces are good and "squared off" or the new gasket will leak too.

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    You ever figure out the year? The early model 120 has some things the later models didn't. The recirc system, even the gasket on the port cover can be the culprit. The carb not set right, timing off etc.

    These older Chryslers used an 8 pole and some a 12 then even a 20 Most 55's had a 8 If you need a tach for diagnostics?? They sell a "Tiny Tach" about 20$ Just hook it to the top plug lead and it gives a reading.

    High idle

    Thanks Fazt. Carbs set up right. Something new: The Frankenstein: turns out the fuel pump has a hole in the diaphragm and the trigger was installed and basically locked in place. A magnet came off when we removed the flywheel(had to re-glue). Will start it today. Hopefully it will make a...

    High idle

    Is there a timing indicator on the block? This motor, turns out it was a Frankenstein a piece from this one and parts from that one.

    High idle

    It's a 200 hp. Sorry I've tried adjusting/pushing everything. The throttle pickup cam isn't touching the carb roller. No matter where the linkage is set it just revs real high. Someone said something about adjusting the idle on the carb each carb. I see a torx head screw that seem to adjust...

    High idle

    1999 Evinrude.Carb model. Serial # coming soon. The comp is good, good spark. The rpm's at idle are 2-3k if not more. The linkage is set so the throttle pickup point is open. It won't go anywhere to let the idle down. How/what do I do to bring the idle down? Seems as though there's a new...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    90% will come right off. The exhaust chest, the screws at the bottom, they've been setting in hot salt water for a LONG time. They're 1/4-20 screws and I can guarantee at least 4 are gonna twist off. Then trying to get the rest of the threads out is gonna be a B*&^H

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    Wiseco pistons are usually the best bet. You'll need the wrist pin kit and the rings from Wiseco. You should change all the rings. Wiseco rings only fit Wiseco pistons. I've found ebay is a good place to get parts. I've found that removing the exhaust cover can be a big problem, I just leave it...

    Force 120 Outboard Low compression - rebuild it?

    The checks in the mail along with the other 2 greatest lies. Before you go further maybe find a machine shop that can do the work?? In my area I've found 1 place(50mi. away) that does that kind of work. He works out of his garage. Maybe fill out the profile and you might find your close to...
