    92 Johnson 60hp bogs down and out after a mile

    I took the boat out yesterday and everything seemed to be fine until about a mile down the river. It started fluctuating in RPMs without throttle adjustment and then when I went to idle it shut off. When I got it started back up it sounded like I lost a cylinder. Lucky I found a sweet spot...

    92 60hp Johnson 3 cylinder - Carb Sync w/o the tool

    91 60hp johnson water pump replacement

    I am about to replace my water pump becuase of a weak tell tale. I'm pretty sure I can tackle this without much problem but I was hoping I could get some info on cleaning out the flow path of the water through the powerhead, etc. Is it safe to blow air through? Should I remove the thermostat...

    Please respond to my following readings. I am using the following guidelines to troubleshoot my problem: (my comments are in Red first, rule out the kill circuit by disconnecting the black/yellow kill wire from the powerpack and repeating your spark test. Best to have all spark plug wires...

    91 johnson 60 wont star

    The boat ran fine until I trailered it to the water. I have compression spark and fuel and think its something in the ignition switch wiring. The motor cranks but won't turn over. I tried bypassing the wiring that makes it not start while in gear and nothing changed. I plan on cleaning all the...

    Hi, I have a 91 Johnson 60hp that I'm trying to get set up on my bass boat. Currently, my fuse block is wired directly to the battery. I want to run this block through the ACC switch on my ignition switch so that nothing can be operated unless the key is in. I'm not sure which wire should run...

    Manual Tilt Shock - 91 Johnson 60hp

    How is the tilt shock designed to function? Is it meant to just absorb the weight when lowering the motor or is it supposed to help when raising it as well? Mine does the former and not the later. Are these shocks rebuildable?

    91 Johnson 60hp. I think i made a mistake.

    I just mounted a new to me 1991 Johnson 60hp on my boat. It started and ran perfect yesterday. I ran the cables through the boat and then it got rained on. I went to start it today and it wouldn't react to the keyswitch at all. I was thinking wither the switch was wet from the rain or I...
