    evirude 40153G overheating

    Hi guys, I changed the impeller and the thing still overheats, no water out of the exhaust port (pin drive, not through prop exhaust). I can not find the thermostat to check it, can somebody point me in the right direction? does it have a thermostat at all? Thank You!

    150 tlcos, bunch of issues, please help

    had a bad stator, replaced together with the flywheel. the spark is good, compression 80psi across the board, clean carbs; the thing will not accelerate at all, it tops at about 1500 rpm and if i opened the throttle more it just stalls, it will rev up without load. also it seems to leak gas &...

    no power, J150tlcos, 1985

    long story short, end of last season i fried the stator; changed it (and the regulator), cleaned the carbs, drained the tank and put fresh gas, now the boat would not go faster than 1200-1300 rpm. it starts right up, has spark in all cylinders, pumps water well, 80psi across the board...

    J150-TLCOS Flywheel

    I got this 85 J150 V-6 that burned the stator due to a malfunctioning regulator. Took the flywheel off, changed the stator and regulator. I know I need to torque the flywheel back to like 150-160 pounds but I see no way to hold the flywheel in order to do that. If by any chance somebody has some...

    1985 J-150-TLCOS troubles, perhaps ignition

    it ran marvelously for a while, we stopped for a dive that all of the sudden it would start but had no power, than quit completely. brought home, started on muffs (surprise, surprise), checked the voltage across the yellow wires coming out of the stator. it fluctuates VERY MUCH, from like 5v to...

    WOT RPM problem

    I got a 19 ft aluminum starcraft Islander 191 with a Johnson 140 (V6). The engine does not rev up all the way, at WOT I get 4000 - 4200 rpm. The boat is going about 32mph according to the rudimentary speed gauge. I checked the carbs, they are clean, the plates open fully, there's nothing...

    islander 191 / J150TLCOS

    i finally got "the new boat of my dreams", ....; a 1985 islander 191 with a 1985 johnson 150 (v6). The thing is this engine seams to me to have quite low compression (80 psi across the board), but i ran the test without opening the carbs fully plus my gauge is off (reads low, i know it from...

    Power requirements for short offshore trips.

    I'm looking to pick up a boat (currently still shopping). Most of the ones i looked at are I/O drives in need of repower. I plan to put an outboard on the one I get. The main use for the boat will be coastal diving with short ofshore fishing trips (coastal part of the stelwagen bank). I am...
