    225 flywheel test?

    Two questions abotu my Johnson 225 (I'm trying to eliminate a misfire): One, is there a way to test my flywheel to see if the magnets are working? They all look good (inner and outer magnets). 2nd, will a 1998 style flywheel work on a 1997 engine? They have different timing marks on the hub...

    Do I have an optical ignition sensor? (225 misfire)

    I have a 1997 225 horsepower "Ocean Runner" that has a misfire (every 10 seconds or so the engine will "jump" like it hit a log or the ignition stopped working for a second). So I'm trying to figure out what the problem is... we already replaced the power pack. I plan to replace the coils...

    What's this drain plug for? (King Cobra)

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a complete newbie. I think I messed up. I have an OMC King Cobra sterndrive and I removed the left side plug that is hidden beneath the round "King Cobra" sticker on the lower unit. The sticker was missing so I didn't realize the plug wasn't supposed to...
