    What tach for 07 Suzuki 140HP?

    I just purchased a used 07 Suzuki and the previous owner told me the tach wasn’t working. When I turn the key to “on” it lights up the monitor lights bad then turns off; but when I start motor- it doesn’t read. I checked the wiring and it seems good so I’m going to buy another tach. I’ve tried...

    I’m trying to replace the seals I’m the tilt rod and have it apart. There was a nut on here, which I removed and then the springs with ball bearings and small rods; but I can’t figure out how to remove this bottom part so I can replace the tilt seals. I watched one video that said it screws off...

    92 Johnson 60HP continuous alarm

    I went out on the water today, weather was 74 degrees, and about ten minutes in driving, I heard an alarm. At first, thought it was electrical interference. Stopped to fish and when I tried to turn on motor, realized it was the alarm from the throttle box. Decided to come in so I wouldn’t be...

    I have a 92 Johnson 60HP and was out on the water and lost power on one cylinder. I checked ignition coils and they are all around 265 range, replaced spark plugs (I changed them out about 6 months ago), and tested spark plug wires and they have continuity. I’ve checked spark gap and the bottom...

    ‘92 Johnson 60HP seems like not full power

    Motor was running great, but the other day while coming back from a fishing trip, it seemed like I lost some power while running. I had to putt back in because I couldn’t get back on plane. My first thought was a spun hub. Ruled that out today. I had just put new plugs about three weeks ago...

    I just recently purchased a used scooter and it came with a 1993 Johnson 30hp pull start. As I always do, I changed the plugs, checked the compression, impeller, gear lube-all the general things. He told me that it had a broken pawl so I ordered one as well. Before I changed the pawl, I had it...

    2001 Nissan 140HP Doesn't crank

    Ok, I haven't used my boat in about six months. I bought brand new deep cell batteries and started connecting everything up. Everything is working now (radio, trolling motor, lights, jack plate, etc.) except my motor won't turn. I checked and nothing seems frozen. I checked the voltage and I'm...

    I'm reallly frustrated and feel like I was ripped off

    I had a perfectly good running 89 Nissan 90HP but wanted to get a bigger motor because I felt with all the weight I have on my boat I was underpowered. I decided to sell mine and bought a 2001 Nissan 140HP because I knew that it was the same motor as the 115Hp and if needed I could detune it...

    Im repowering from an 1988 Nissan 90 hp to a 2001 Nissan 140 hp. I have a 21 gallon tank. Should I expect to use more or less gas. I'm thinking since motor is newer and will have more power I will use less, but any advice or thoughts? I was currently underpowered.
