Is there one that covers this engine along with its sisters 90 w vro and others? Does anyone know where I can get an original OEM...

    Is it OK to leave thermostats out in warm climate (s. LA) on Jhonson 88 Spl 1993

    One head bank running hot and found trash in thermo. Can I leave it/them out all together? Water is never below 50-60deg. Seems like a constant flow would be ok in South Louisiana

    on my 93 88hp special seems to be running fine but gets sudden burst of power

    What could cause this periodic sudden power burst that last only a second or two? I feel as though the engine is running fine then this happens and I wish it ran like that all the time. It does it at mainly higher rpms. Like 3 to 4500. I'm guessing timing or fuel but how would I tell? I run 93...
