    96' Johnson will rev up in neutral but only 2500rpm in gear.. No power, need help

    Took my boat out today for a sea trial.. Not good, could only get 2500rpm at WOT in gear... In neutral I can "carefully" rev it up to 6000rpm and it sounds good, but under load I'm at a loss... All new plugs/wires/coil packs/stator/ and compression test turned out perfect!! What do think is...

    225 engine idle running away..

    When I fire up my 96' Johnson 225 Oceanrunner, it does fine but when it starts to warm up the idle climbs up to 1,100 rpm... That's a bit to high but then it runs away to 3,500 rpm and I turn the ignition off.. It continues to run at that rpm for another 10-15 seconds before it finally shuts...

    96' Johnson Ocean Runner 225 random bangs under cruise load??

    I have posted many times about my 225 but after the powerhead change 2 years ago the lower gearcase ran dry like my relationship with the girl that had the truck to tow it.. Replaced the gearcase last week but when I did I missed the water pickup and torqued it down.. Overheated for sure but we...

    OEM Yamaha multifunction gauge has backlight but no readout.

    I replaced an old tach with a multifunction gauge and it worked fine for a few trips but it started to come and go and now it's out but the backlight still comes on.. It's obviously getting powerto , so where am I looking for the fault? Is it a wire to the engine that is not sending a signal...

    96' 225 Ocean Runner shifts out of water but not in?

    I have touched on this in another thread but now I am able to shift into forward and reverse with no issues with the earmuffs on but when I take it to the landing and the prop is under load I can't get it to shift into reverse gear, just grinds like crazy. I have an after market shifter that I...

    Plexiglass instead of canvas as a T-Top cover?

    I have an older center console and the recent tropical storm took off my canvas T-Top cover. I was wondering if anyone ever tried to use a piece of Plexiglass instead of canvas to recover a T-top? My T-Top frame is square and flat, I would love to use a piece of tinted plexiglass on top that...

    96' 225 Ocean Runner misfire 3900-4100rpm range.

    After my recent powerhead replacement I now have a misfire between 3900 and 4100 rpms only. All other rpm settings it runs fine, and unfortunately that RPM range is a good cruise setting for my boat. Any thoughts on how to adjust this?? The misfire is a muffled bang bang bang.. I am still...

    96' 225 Ocean Runner shift problem

    I just replaced my powerhead and now for some reason my shifter isn't engaging the gears. I can adjust the cable at the linkage and get forward gear OR reverse gear but not both. When it does engage FWD gear, it is only after the throttle has started to increase the rpms and it slams into...

    96' Johnson 225 remanned powerhead replacement issues.. Please help if you can..

    In the past I have posted many times about my "ventilated" block (i.e. holes in the block) that has recently been replaced with a re-manned powerhead.. This thing is a beauty!!! I have never heard a 2-stroke as quiet and responsive, especially after 12 years of my old engine.. My issue is, and...

    1996 Johnson 200-250 question. Can I make a 225 into a 250?

    I am in the market for a new powerhead and when ordering one it looks like the powerhead can fit a 200/225/250. What is it about my 225 that I can change to make it a 250? Is this possible and or worth it? It is in fact a 25hp increase.. Just wondering

    J225TXEDE 1996 Locked Up Last Fall. Need Some Advice.

    I knew it was only a matter of time with the hole in the side of the engine block that it was going to completely fail. It did. Even though I had it patched over and sealed up it finally bought the barn.. Minus a few smashed spark plugs, everything else on the engine is in good condition...

    96' Johnson 225 Ocean Runner blew a hole in the block!! No what?

    Well, 6k+ in restorations this spring and the first morning we run over a commercial crab trap rope that had come loose and was adrift in the harbor.. Apparently it jammed the prop and created enough pressure in the crankcase to rupture a hole in the side of the block nearly the size of an...

    1996 Johnson 225 knocking and metal rattling noises?

    I thought that I had solved the metal "chinging" noises after a flywheel magnet came apart with the tips of the stator coils.. Apparently not, the sound is still there at WOT?? Also I have an internal knock in the engine, disconnecting one spark plug wire at a time for all six cylinders and...

    FloScan question about "alternator pair poles"??

    To dial in my new FloScan unit to get the proper RPM readout I need to know how many "alternator pair poles" a 1996 Johnson 225 J225TXEDE has? Are these the number of coils on the stator that I just replaced?
