    Spark plug wire for 1975 Johnson 115

    metallic wire goes about $1-2 /foot ... recently sold for $37/100 feet on Amazon :) if the engine was issued with carbon core wire ask a dealer if low resitance metallic wires could do any damage...which I doubt but no harm in asking. in theory (ohms law) 5000 ohms/foot is noting compared...

    1972 Johnson 25 Rough Idle

    different story.... check the low speed circuit of the carb incl the drip holes under the dime size cap on top . carb has a small side channel leading to the top drip chamber ....clean it blow it ... check the LS needle for tip breaks your carb has no bottom needle just a fix jet behind...

    Spark plug wire for 1975 Johnson 115

    emi shielding often done with high resistance carbon fiber wires.... to stop noisy high feq. noise mostly in AM band radios metallic strand 7mm wire from your local lawnmower or motorbike shop should do as a test measure a good wire resistance if 0 ohms then it is not carbon fiber...

    heat often affects coils...or condensers . have you done any tests or replaced them... ?? the rest is wires, dirty points cracked plug wires . http://www.leeroysramblings.com/johnson_magneto.htm plug boots to engine should give a SOLID 4-8kohms approx. bubbles are odd it should suck...

    Evinrude 115 Won't Idle?

    holes... are for venting out or breathing in... otherwise they are plugged ! just make certain they are clean and open ( no crud or varnish etc...)... if that jet does not meter fuel it meters air ....same procedure clean it blow it... don't worry about the design itself somebody did...

    1963 johnson 40 hp electric

    I believe I was explicit on the need to test with high voltages to test for internal leakge. Ohmmeter testing and cap. tester will only be a valuable test if the capacitor is bad.... it will not tell if the capacitor is good !. here are a few articles from the AOMCI Outboarded magazine...

    1963 johnson 40 hp electric

    old style but same style... you likely have a simple jet at the bottom instead of a HS needle .... clean all orifices blow dry if idle is poor may need to clean up the upper LS chamber by pulling the top dime size plug. drill a small hole and pop it out clean the side channel...

    yes good coils do check if you can measure ohms resistance from boot plug to engine frame ground for 4-8 kohms approx . I see rust spots all over and connections between the high voltage coil pin and the plug boot may be corroded. nothing complicated to fix up .. condensers (old...
