    Stator-Pack connection 225V6 Johnson

    Well, I think i have found the source of my 1,3,5 cylinders not firing. It appears that a splash of good ol' salt water found it's way to the top of my engine. Evident by a white powder substance in one of the cavities of the power head casting. Not sure how this could happen- possibly through...

    J.B./CLANTON

    Thanks for the help guys. If I hadn't measured the compression, I would swear that the engine is fine.<br />What should I be concerned with when removing the head besides snapping a seized bolt.<br />Is this something I should attack or should I have an OMC rep do it. I am somewhat capable of...

    J.B Compression V6 Looper 225 Johnson

    Good Morning J.B<br />I want to thank you for the reply on Compression. I do have another question relating to that same engine. You mentioned that the 90 PSi seems low for the 1992 225 v6 looper Johnson. I have heared that this is close to a new spec of around 90-100 out of the factory. Is this...

    compression 225 1992 johnson

    I have recently measured the compression on my outboard. The values were all 89-90 psi except for 1 cyl. , this was 78. <br />Question : Is this 1 cylinder supposed to be low? I have heard others talk about a new engine having 1 low compression cyl.<br />If this is not normal , is it too far out...

    Johnson225 1992 fuel problem

    I recently have been experiencing a problem with getting full rpm at WOT. The rpm rises to 4600-4700 and even though I have 1/4"-1/2" remaining throttle travel on the controls,as I increase throttle position, I get no increase in rpm. There is no change in sound, or bogging down, it just does...

    Twins over Single

    Captains, <br />I'm wondering how (2) 115hp 4 strokes would perform as a replacement to a single 225 hp 2-stroke. Better top end speed? more torque out of the hole? Does the extra weight defeat any gains?<br />Thanks,<br />Joe

    Hello Again. I am beginning to understand that fuel delivery is crucial to the overall health of this engine. Under a warranty inspection , my dealer found that the anti-siphon valve on the main tank was plugged, causing the steady one-tone alarm to come at 2900-3000 rpm. He removed the...
