    Great information. I think at this time i need to get a battery health monitor to see what % my battery is in after loading it on the trailer since i will be using the tilt and trim with the motor off and check it a few times. Maybe i only need a small maintainer. I will be back to this post...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    Exactly ! This issue is probably why i got it Cheap! The previous owner had just finished rewiring the whole console , new gauges , new ground terminal blocks but everything is spliced into the original wiring harness from the motor and its pretty shabby looking. I am going to try and go to the...

    Solar battery chargers

    Hi tpenfield I have 2 -100 Ah batteries, i only use one of them for everything and the other one is only ever used for emergency cranking only . I am assuming a normally solar maintainer would be ok to keep it topped off. I always try to make a fairly long run so i have a long run back to let...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    I have had the carbs off multiple times checking to see if a float was sticking causing it to run on only 2 cyclinders . I actually just polished the needle seats using valve lapping compound and a Qtip. It actually improved the idle drasticly by removing the maching scratches from making the...

    Solar battery chargers

    I use the main battery for cranking and running electronics and sometimes the anchor light until it gets daylight. I use a trolling motor sometimes but not much. With my cheap 10 amp charger it normally takes a full 12 hours before the charger goes into the maintaining mode. The other backup...

I have a selector switch so i run...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    Hi airshot: How were yall testing it? Was it on the lake? On muffs? In gear or out of gear? The reason i am asking is when mine does this it will rev up fine in neutral but only bogs in gear. But the it fixes itself so i have just been fishing in a less fished lake and avoiding boat wakes or i...

    Johnson 90 Oops it did it again

    Even though the boat wake was like 1' tall when i hit it it was a light slap of course , but thats all it took. It only happens Crossing a boat wake! No other time. I am thinking it is CDI as well like a bad solder joint. It runs like it has lost high speed spark advance, like trigger signal...

    Johnson 90 hp a weird one

    Finally stopped raining. Thermostat housing and inside of engine look good. Water pump was missing the top rubber seal that seals pump to copper engine tube. No where to be found on the gravel ground and it did not fall off during removal. Upper exhaust seal was blown out as well
