50:1 mix. I hope it isn't the rings. I put new ones in in the summer.

I will check spark and compression tomorrow but what are some possible causes of this? Boat has been running great but we had to get towed in yesterday. I was at about 3/4 throttle cruising back in and stopped to use the restroom. I don't remember if it stalled or I turned it off, but all of a...

I have an old 16ft Wellcraft Airslot 165. It has a pretty deep hull for a 16ft boat in my opinion. It has a 110HP Johnson and does about 37mph. That might be a tad on the slow side for a 16 footer?? I'm chalking it up possibly to the deep hull .I don't have a tach but judging by engine sound...

86’ 110. I might have a driveway queen on hands. Did a link and sync, getting spark to jump 7/16. When I put it in the water it wouldn’t idle so I turned the timing out about and it’s better but still stalls sometimes. I sputtered and sounded like it was missing and then it cleared up. I took...

Might be a long shot but would anyone happen to know the thread size for v4 crossflow? I will have to break old one out and I want to go with a metal piece instead.

Got it started (ring job). It is firing on all four cylinders and seems run ok but it doesn't have that throaty sound like it used to if that makes sense. It sounds whiny like a leafblower lol. I will do a link and sync tomorrow and need to get a compression tester. Link to vid below, opinions...

Did new rings, almost ready to put powerhead back on. When I turn the flywheel there's a whistle sound coming through the bottom starter bolt hole and when I put my finder over it I can feel compression. Also, there is no "end" to the hole, it goes into the crankcase. Was thinking VRO but I see...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. has anyone financed a used boat in the 10-15k range? I did some research on new boat loans and learned you can get financing for 10+ years but can’t find much on used.I’m looking at a 96 Whaler Outrage with a 96’ Johnson 150 for 11k. I think that’s a...

Doing a rebuild due to an overheat and I found two journals with nicks. I don't know if they're from old age but I suspect they're because of rust from when I pulled the left side cylinder head off to inspect and just put just rags in the holes like an idiot instead of putting the head back. The...

86' 110 Johnson, had to take motor off to do the steering/tilt tube. Was on the ground and got flooded during Harvey. We were one of the few houses in the area to not get flooded so if the motor is shot we are still blessed. The water went about half way up so I didn't think it got into the...

Model J110TLCDF. Originally VRO but it did not have the pump when I bought it. It runs good, I just want to put a new one in since I don't know when it was last done. I can't find a listing though. Any ideas?

Does anyone happen to know what the thread pitch is on the tilt tube where the steering cable nut screws on?

I have an 86' 110 Johnson. The left head was cooler than the right side so I figured it was an open stat. Tore it down, took the back cover below the pan off, took the "bubble" manifold off and that made it way easier to access the housing. Ironically, the only bolt easier to get to by taking...

Hey guys. I had this problem when I first bought the motor and I found out it was only firing on one side so I replaced a powerpack and the cooler side warmed up to match the other side. The boat ran great after that and I've had it out three times without issue. After the last time I went out I...

I had a 78 wellcraft airslot 165 with a 90 chrysler and it got on plane great. The boat was in bad shape but I love the model so much I bought the same one, a couple years older, a 75'. Found a great deal on a motor and got a 86' Johnsin 110. Boat hauls ass and goes 42 where the other boat...

After having a couple Chryslers (which have served me well) I wanted something a little newer. I found a good deal an 86' Johnson 110 (VRO, crossflow, bubbleback). I didn't really want to go older than a 90' but the deal was too good to pass up and it's a fresh water motor. Anyway, when I run...

Re: Was my outboard sabotaged? Long. Here are the pics guys. The cowl seems to be fine, it looks like the part where the latching hook grabs onto is there. On the engine side it looks like I'm missing everything except the shaft (which is frozen). Jerry, Frank, or Tate if yall have the parts...

I took my boat out yesterday for the first time in seven monts and was looking forward to it as I had put bigger carbs and manifolds on from a Force 125. I have a 1983 Chrysler 90HP 4 cylinder. It has Prestolite ignition with two powerpacks and four coils, black in color. I like to call my...

Trying to find a tach for my 1979 85HP Johnson. I was told I need one with the right poles? One site says 6 poles so I just want to confirm here, thank you.

Re: Underpowered or overpropped Frank you could at least make me work for it before showing me lol! A few pics here, look at the one on land first to see how much boat is "in the water". Like I said, I think it's a heavy boat for a 16.5ft and has a lot of hull in the water. I'd like a 5000...
