    94 115 v4 coils facing forward.

    Is there any problem with having the coils facing forward? Must have failed to check this when I rebuilt. Forward meaning connectors towards top of the head. Is heat the main concern here? When reffering to cracked insulation on a coil are they reffering to the rubbery bottom insulation or...

    94 115 crossflow firing on all 4?

    The v4 sits inboard on a jet drive. I get good spark at idle on all 4 but have yet to achieve a good high rpm since rebuild. During break in I noticed a grayish film covering the jet which I assumed was just the excess oil I was adding to the gas. The exhaust dumps at the bottom of the jet...

    more rpms?

    Got the motor running sweet. Starts reliably. Life is good. She gets about 5200 at full throttle. 94 omc 115 crossflow vro2. Pulled the filler blocks on rebuild. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the extra 600 rpm that the power pack will take? The powerhead is mounted to an...

    Re-jetting for high altitude

    Took the boat out last weekend to a lake at about 6000ft. Other than The starting problems it ran pretty good but could not get above 4800rpm. I understand that by decreasing my high speed jet size I could get a better mix of gas and keep the performance up. What size are the hs jets in my...

    primer solenoid eratic

    I have a '94 115 omc (e/j) powerhead on my jet boat. Been having starting issues and found the primer solenoid to operate occasionally. There don't seem to be any available in the brp catalog for my model year of jet. Is it possible to use a similar part from a standard outboard? Could there...

    Thanks for all the help motor runs great...but...

    Finnished break in on 115 omc turbojet. Motor runs smooth and strong once she is all warmed up but I am still having some starting problems. When it sits for about an hour it takes forever to get it started even after re-pumping the bulb. I changed the bulb but it didn't help. I am beginning...

    94 omc 115 low oil warning signal

    Had a half a tank of oil in my auxiliary tank and the low oil alarm wouldn't shut up. Cleaned the tank before filling and bled air from line. Seemed to work fine as far as I could tell as the oil level was significantly lower when we got back to the ramp. Noticed some minor oxidation on the...

    static timing 115 omc

    Ok maybe I think too much about these things. When I pull the plugs for a static timing, should I ground out the plug wires to the block. What about fuel coming out of the plug holes, chance of fire from spark?

    probably a dumb question?

    When turning over my engine with plugs out should I be grounding the plug wires to the block. And if so should I also disconnect fuel supply to the carbs in case an errant spark ignites fuel coming from plug holes?

    94 omc 115hp tach wiring

    The tach never worked, according to previous owner. Pulled the tach and found a lot of "other" wires running to it. Should a tach be used as a junction box? Probably fried huh? Was under the impression that only one wire should be going to each of the 4 terminals. There are 3 purple wires @...

    '94 115 omc quickstart disable ?

    I've got her all together aside from installing an inline sand filter. Can't seem to find a white/black wire on my power pack to ground out to disable quickstart and set timing.

    94 omc 115hp timing

    Don't see anything in my manual that reffers to my engine having a quick start system on it. Would like to soon attempt the Joe Reeves method and time the motor. Anyone know if I need to be concerned about my year motor and Joe's timing method? If all goes well she just might get wet this...

    94 omc turbojet 115

    I drained the sludge from my jet drive and upon refferencing my manual for fill level it said to fill to oil level hole. Is that just the hole I fill it from with the twist off cap? Can't see another hole. It would seem that a bit of water is getting into the gear oil. What is the most...

    Used aviation sealant on shiny gasket

    Guess it was getting late. Will the seal hold or will there be a reaction causing a leak?

    intake hose, where are you???

    Had to replace a few hoses on the intake manifolds due to visible cracking at zip ties. Was able to cut a few down to size for replacements but I cant seem to find any at my local boat shops. It measures 5/16 od and 1/16 id. Runs from check valves on intake to bearing nipple and bypass...

    no sealant on adaptor plate???

    I was double checking my manual as I am finally finnishing a rebuild of a 115 omc turbojet. It says to not use sealant on the adaptor where the engine plate bolts on. Seems to me that this would be the ideal place to use a gasket sealant since the adaptor holds water and there is only a 1/4 in...

    jetcraft omc fuel tank size

    Gotta jetcraft 115 omc turbojet but havn't had her long enough to fill it up from empty. Plate rubbed smooth on gas tank unsure as to capacity. In the process of rebuilding motor, hopefully tonight will get block back from machine shop. Kinda don't have enough gas cans to drain a pretty full...

    115 omc filler blocks

    I was reading through a few old posts in regards to exhaust. Is it true that you do not need to install filler blocks and can get more horsepower without them? I also read that they should be installed slightly lower than deck they bolt into. I was planning on having a machinist plane the...
