    1998 jOHNSON 130HP LOOPER

    I have a 130hp Johnson looper that has been running flawlessly for ten years of heavy usage.

    Milky lower unit oil

    I got to thank those that brought my attention to the possibility of bad washers on lower unit drain plugs. I took the advise and cobbled up a pressure tester with a bicycle pump and a bicycle pump dial gage (0 to 60 psi), and a few plastic fittings. Took some time to get the leaks closed at the...
