    115hp 60degree 1996 charging

    I recently noticed my main starting battery hissing after running the motor for 15minutes and shutting it down. Have had a problem with the regulator overcharging 16v+. I've also discovered the battery cables 18' run are not in great shape, very stiff and slightly crunchy in the middle when...

    Overcharging 16.5V

    1996 Jonhson 115hp v4 10amp stator 35 amp regulator. I'm on my 2nd voltage regulator on this thing. Had turned off the battery switch while it was running (yeah I know, don't do that) It of course fried the VR. Got another one and it did the same thing charging 16.5. Called CDI, they said...

    Regulator Rectifier 16.5V on 115HP 1996 V4

    I was flushing in the driveway after a trip and turned off the battery switch rather than the ignition, the motor ran for about 5 seconds disconnected from the battery before I killed the ignition. The tach was shot after this so I got a new regulator (CDI - love their stuff). Put that in, the...

    1996 115hp Johnson tach shows 4k

    I did a bad thing, turned off the battery switch before turning off the motor. Now the tach shows 4000rpm. I remember reading that this frys some resistors. Do I need to replace the stator or regulator/rectifier? And it's been running so good, darn. Jim

    Steering problem

    Teleflex rotary cable steering. I just had a problem on the water where the steering wheel makes a click click sound while trying to turn left. If I drop it out of gear it will turn left, back to center and right but while underway even at headway speed it will click and not turn left. Seems...

    fuel pump help

    I think my fuel pump is shot. I'm getting no oil mixing with the gas and no alarm sounded yet the alarms for low oil and the overheat alarms work fine. Compression is the same as it's been for 5 years, 95-100 on 3 cylinders and then old cylinder 1 which is 80. I disconnected the oil side of...

    Premixing fuel

    With a possible vro failure looming I considering premixing. When premixing is it necessary to mix the gas and oil in a container before adding it to the main tank? I was hoping to just pour the oil in and then pump in 40 gallons of gas. I wouldn't mind mixing a couple gallons of gas with...

    Carb float bowl

    I've read of folks replacing the plastic float bowls with metal one. I've got a 1996 115hp that has warped bowls. I'd even try sanding them down but don't know if that will affect the neddle level. Just got the call that bluefin are busting inshore but don't trust the boat for more than bay...

    bendix 115hp 1996

    Does the bendix have a clutch? I just cleaned up my bendix and while it seems to be rising up now and it sounds like it's spinning strong the timing wheel is a bit herky jerky. Sometimes it goes sometimes it doesn't. It got a bath in saltwater so I used penetrating oil and a brush all over...

    water leak near regulator 115 1996 looper

    I recently replaced a regulator/rectifier on a 1996 Johnson 115hp 60degree motor. Charges great but a week or so later I have a problem starting, the bendix is sticking. I also notice some light corrosion near the starter to timing cover area. Off comes the timing cover and wow it's crusty in...

    starter not engaging

    I've got a 1996 115hp Johnson ocean pro - 60* looper. I recently replaced the solenoid and have checked cleaned and rechecked all the connections. Sometimes it starts fine other times I'll have to work the key switch a few times and the starter just spins but does not engage with the flywheel...

    1996 115hp recirc valves

    I've got a 1996 115hp Johnson looper. The thing smokes pretty bad at idle. I want to check out the recirc valves, got the syringe and isopropal alchohol. the ports on the block take fluid both ways. the ports on the intake manifold don't seem to take it either way. What is the proper result...

    1996 johnson 115hp charging - regulator

    I've got a question about the charging system on a 1996 115hp Johnson ocean pro. I'm getting 14.4 volts to a meter @ 2000-3000 rpm but once I get on plane and go WOT 5200ish the charging system seems to stop. My voltage drops and if using a livewell, trim tabs etc... it starts to run down the...

    1996 115hp bogging @3000rpm

    Had a no spark issue on my Johnson 115hp 1996 J115SXEDR. It's got optical ignition, I've got the timing set and done the sync. It's actually starting and idling better than ever. When I start to go over 3000 rpm it just boggs down, does not cut out if I pull back on the throttle it runs just...
