    Tough one on a Johnson FastStrike 150 (GLERA150)

    Big time problems with this motor. It starts, runs, then dies and won't restart. After sitting a while it'll go through that same series of events. When it's in the "won't start" mode, it isn't getting any fire. I finally took it to a mechanic and he can't figure it out either. He initially...

    1996 mercury 200 efi dies when put in gear

    Can't figure this out. The motor starts right up but dies as soon as it's put in gear (forward or reverse). If I "slam" it in gear and immediately go to high RPMs it runs strong. It'll idle fine as well. Is there some sort of interrupter switch on this motor that could cause this...

    Johnson 150 (glera150) dies and won't restart

    Having problems with my 150 Johnson. It starts and runs fine, then will die and won't restart. After sitting for a while it'll start again. Seems to be getting fuel but no spark. It has a new power pack and stator (installed last year). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Ready to give up on johnson 150

    :mad:I've got a Johnson 150 Fast Strike (model J150GLERA) that I can't figure out. It only fires on 1 bank of cylinders. I've replaced the plugs, power pack, stator, and optical sensor. I also disconnected the shift kill switch - still no fire on 1 bank. Finally threw in the towel and took...

    150 only fires on 3 of 6 cylinders

    My Johnson 150 Faststrike (1994, J150GLERA) is only firing on half it's cylinders. After this problem first started I changed the power pack - didn't help. I also disconnected the shift switch - didn't help. Checked the compression in all 6 cylinders - all good. Checked the spark - 1 side...

    Torque question

    Unfortunately for me I have to replace the power pack on my '94 Johnson 150 (J150GLERA). Does anyone know what I should torque the bolts to once I put the new part on? Hate to spend the additional $$$ for a service manuel - the power pack is setting me back far enough as it is. Appreciate an...

    Johnson 150 problems

    :confused:I've got a 1989 Johnson 150 Fast Strike that I'm having problems with. It'll start right up but when I put it in gear it acts like it's running in mud. No power whatsoever. It seems to run fine when it's in neutral and will run strong in gear when the prop's not in the water. But...

    depth finder

    I need to replace the in-dash depth finder in my '94 Stratos. I initially tried a Hawkeye that I bought off Ebay - big mistake as this thing only seems to work when it wants to (glued the transducer in the hull). It'll read fine for a minute, then freeze up and throw readings all over the...

    Johnson Fast Strike rectifier

    I need to replace the rectifier on my '94 Johnson 150 Fast Strike (model J150GLERA). From what I can tell, I don't need to remove the flywheel as some have said. I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what I need to torque the rectifier bolts to once I replace the part. I wasn't too...
