    80's OMC Controls - Trim Switch

    Switch came today. One pic from the eBay link you posted, and one pic of the Amazon switch I bought with it in my handle. I hope to complete the install this week. I'll post back how it all goes and how it works.

    Late 70's to Late 80's - Worth shopping for?

    Just a side thought. I'm turning wrenches on this. I'm going to clean the carbs. I have a separate thread for that. But as I begin, coming from a Suzuki and Yamaha, it feels kinda nostalgic to be using standard wrenches. My old 65 Chevy gave me that feeling. And I can just eyeball the size I need. 😊

    80's OMC Controls - Trim Switch

    I ordered that switch he showed in his video. My handle is nice. Just need to replace the switch. I'll post some pictures and my results when done. Thanks.

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    I'm going clean the carbs, inspect all hose connections, and check everything over. It's probably time anyway.

    80's OMC Controls - Trim Switch

    No, mine are an older style connector. . Google tells me OMC went to the Deutsch connectors in 1996.

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    Last time I ran it in a 55 gallon drum cut in half filled well above where the lower unit meets the midsection - probably around 6 inches above the cavitation/ventilation plate. . I need to get a tach. . Cold Compression is around 120psi. 120, 119, 121, and 126 PSI

    80's OMC Controls - Trim Switch

    That switch in that handle you link looks a lot like this switch this guy uses in his aftermarket MacGyver fix.

    I meant to say a vacuum leak.

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    But it changes idle significantly when I spray carb cleaner near the bottom of the bowl. . Okay, maybe I should have called it a vacuum leak. . What do you think the issue is? . Either way, I bought two rebuild kits. I can check all the hoses, connections, and seals while I have it apart .

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    I have a new to me 1994 Johnson 90hp V4. . It started real nice and ran real nice when I first heard it run. When I ran it more at home, it sputtered some off and on. . I did a strong mix of seafoam to see if that would clear things up. . It didn't. I read up on the Link & Sync and got...

    80's OMC Controls - Trim Switch

    Thanks, that's what I was doing wrong. So far every one I've looked at is discontinued. My controls I think are from an older model. My motor is a 1994. But this is my controls.

    Model Tag - Protection

    Maybe I'll take the tag off before it falls off and put it in an envelope inside the owners manual. . I took a picture of it. So, yes, I could print it and keep it on the boat in with my other paperwork. .

    Model Tag - Protection

    I see so many threads where someone can't figure out the year of their Johnson because the model and serial number tag is missing. While shopping for a motor, two I went to look at were missing the tag. . I just bought me a Johnson, and it still has the tag. It's not a riveted metal tag, it...
