    1984 J90MLCRD='84 90 HP Johnson- No sleeves??

    Does anyone know where on these blocks the part # is located? There is this part #...see pic, but BRP parts search engine does not recognize it. Is this where they hid the block Part #? You would have to split the case to find it. It looked like a JE #. Apparently it is not. It's off by one...

    1984 J90MLCRD='84 90 HP Johnson- No sleeves??

    Eastern NC. I've looked at dozens of blocks on eBay and a number of other places. I need an 0431659. It superseded 0394283 and 0397207. JE apparently used that one on a large # of different engines. From what I can find it was used on 88-90-100-110, and 115 hp from'84 to '98. I've seen some...

    1984 J90MLCRD='84 90 HP Johnson- No sleeves??

    The engine I am working on is badly scored on the starboard bottom. The sleeve that keeps coming up anywhere on the net is by LA Sleeve. Flea bay, WSM, Wiseco, whatever. They claim it's for a 65-235 JE Crossflow. But the sleeve they all show by LA Sleeve is solid, no porting at all. How can a...

    J60TLCEA --WSM brand drive shaft.

    I need a driveshaft for my Johnson 60. BRP part # 0432960. They are pretty hard to come by. I've found three, two on ebay, one used one from CNautique in France. The least expensive new one from a US seller is made by WSM. I know they have an aftermarket presence for us Johnson-Evinrude guys...

    J90 MLCRD Crossflow V-4- Best place to mount aftermarket temp sending units? Is it necessary to remove very stuck old sending units?

    Still working out old motor issues before I put it on the water. I wanted to test the temp sending units as described in the J/E manual. What got my attention was the buzzer alarm in the remote control was fried when I went through and serviced it. The OE sending units are done. Finished. Each...

    1984 90 hp J90 MLCRD What are these tiny brass nipples for? The one on the block seems plugged.

    1984 90 hp J90 MLCRD What are these tiny brass nipples for? The one on the block seems plugged. I'm redoing all of the fuel and primer lines. In the process I noticed that this little group of lines was cracked and split at the nipple fittings. I have a good bit of OE primer hose (a small roll...

    Can't find an OE manual for 1984 90 hp v4. J 90 TLCRD. Will an '85 manual work?

    I really don't like Clymer or Seloc manuals. My trusty OE service manual for my '89 60hp has gotten me through some serious issues. Like a salt water submersion followed by a total overhaul. The listing shows a book with an '84 print date, but the INTRODUCES code proves the book is for an '85...

    1984 E90 MLCRD Back from the grave. Compression a little low on lower right.

    New to me. I've completely rebuilt my '89 J60 TLCEA after a sinking in salt water. It runs very strong. This post isn't about that, but I do know my way around older JE 2 strokers. This '84 90 hp sat up for 12 years. Not even in a shed or barn. Just out there beside his barn. I bought it on the...

    How much water is too much? Bottom of foam still wet after months of airing with fan.

    It's a model 1970 Southern Skimmer. Year unknown. Paperwork is put away. I redecked the middle of the boat, from 2' forward of the transom to the front edge of the CC. The foam in that are was dry to the hull. Problem is the bilge box was in a lot worse shape than I first thought. Split glass...

    J90 MLCRD Impeller stuck to shaft

    I remember when this forum strongly advised-requested that each new topic thread start off with the model # of the engine in question. Back when TD was still around. Wow. Gettin old. Anyway, on to the problem at hand. I'm resurrecting an '84 90 hp V4 that hasn't run in at least 11 years. The...

    1984 J90MLCRD- Four very small lines coming from crankcase to each carb. What gives?

    I've got an older Johnson inline three that I'm intimately familiar with. An '89 60hp that was sank in saltwater and has been painstakinly completely rebuilt. Runs excellent. Then I get this opportunity to pick up a skiff equipped with an '84 90hp that hasn't run in 11 years. In the process of...

    '89 J60TLCEA Is OMC locquic primer really necessary?

    Ok.... I'll bite..... makes sense. This engine had quite a few hours on it. No real way to tell, bought it used of course and have used it for 7 seasons now, exclusively salt water. The skirts look to be in excellent condition.The pic is #2 piston. I had the block miked and honed not to exceed...

    '89 J60TLCEA Is OMC locquic primer really necessary?

    I'm not at all sure what the oval or bridged port exhaust is refering to. This would be the bottom of the block where the exhaust flange bolts up? see pic. I have no idea why the pic is upside down. i went into editor and turned it upside down when i saw this and reuploaded it. it still came out...

    '89 J60TLCEA block flange. Loctite Klean 'N Prime- Conflicting directions

    So... the can of loctite brand primer-catalyst came yesterday. According to the instructions on the loctite 518, use "klean 'n prime on one surface only." Yet according to the directions on the can itself, "spray on both mating surfaces". The J/E manual states to spray on the "mating flange of...

    '89 J60TLCEA Is OMC locquic primer really necessary?

    Getting ready to re-assemble. Checking details. So I'm using loctite 518 to assemble the crankcase. It's supposed to be the modern equivalent of OMC gel-seal II. The J/E manual states to prep the mating flange side with this primer. After some online reading, I learn that the primary use for...

    '89 J60TLCEA midsection inner exhaust housing- copper water tube has hole in it

    So in the process of rebuilding this motor, I came across about a 1/8" hole in the copper water pipe. It looks perfectly round, like it's supposed to be there. At first I thought it was a corrosion pin hole. I was about to solder it closed. I boat salt water. On further examination with a...

    J60TLCEA Reliable source for oversize piston-ring kit

    Hi all. Been a long time since I've been here. I need some advice on a solid source for O.S. pistons and rings. I've read some different stuff on aftermarket knockoffs that just don't hold up. eBay has some listings that are reasonable, all new parts, out of Phoenix Az. Here is the link for a...

    '89 J60TLCEA Has this carb been modified? Pics

    It was time to go thru them again, this time with an ultrasonic cleaner and an OEM rebuild kit. The plug on the left looks like it's missing, and there are marks around the plug seat that look like it's been drilled out. The kit has enough plugs of the right size to put this in. The OEM manual...

    '89 J60TLCE .030 or .035 plug gap?? Any takers?

    No problems with the motor, thanks to a lot of good advice from this forum. She runs great. Prepping some plugs for a trip this w/e and ran up on the obvious question........ the J/E manual states .030 plug gap, yet I seem to remember somewhere in the posts that .035 is really better. If .035...
