    1994 Evinrude 120 V4 RPM?

    Well, after a lean condition rendered my 1995 Johnson 130hp a giant hulk of a space wasting parts motor, I bought a rebuilt Evinrude 120. It is almost identical. That is except for the RPM's at WOT. With the 130 I was running around 5,000 rpm and I am lucky to get 4,100 rpm out of my new motor...

    1995 Johnson 130

    I had a lean condition which caused the loss of compression on one cylinder. I pulled the head and the scratches are not deep at all. I can still see some of the "cross-hatching" marks through the abrasions. What are my options? Honing? Is there a way to tell if the abrasions are too deep to...

    Trim and Temp gauges

    I have a 1995 stratos 286DC that HAD a 1995 Johnson 130. I toasted that motor and I am going tomorrow to pick up my 1994 Evinrude 120. My boat has room for two more gauges. I would like to have a temp and trim gauge. Does anyone know how to install either of these? Mark East Texas

    1995 Johnson 130 gave up

    My 1995 Johnson 130hp was running WOT when it squeaked and shut off. Upon restart it acted like the battery was low. It did it once more and when I got home I checked compression. What was previously 120psi on all 4 was 120, 135,130,30. I have come to the conclusion through the help of all of...

    One cylinder-low compression

    daselbee was right about my 1995 Johnson 130hp. One cylinder has about 30psi while the others are around 120-125. I fear I have toasted the piston. Does anyone know the cost to replace the piston? I am fairly mechanically inclined so I know I could replace a piston but is there anything I should...

    1995 Johnson 130

    I bought a stratos boat with a 1995 Johnson 130hp. It ran great at first then began cutting out especially at WOT. I replaced the plugs, cleaned the tank and put in fresh gas, new fuel line, new oil and oil line, cleaned the carbs, cleaned thermostats and installed a new water pump. It ran great...

    Cut Out

    I have a 1995 Johnson 130hp. I bought it and it ran fine. Later at a different lake it began cutting out at high speeds. I cleaned tank and replaced gas.... it then ran worse. I replaced the plugs and it ran GREAT for about 3 minutes. Next, I cleaned the carbs and it runs ok now but not WOT. Any...
