    VRO replacement pump questions...

    Hey Guys, Looks like my special 1990 Johnson 120 looper has a failing fuel pump. I bought it with the VRO system removed and capped and I've been mixing fuel. I want to keep it that way and am looking for a replacement. Digging through the forum I've come across a #438402 pump that looks...

    120 looper from hell....continued

    Hi everyone, First, let me apologize for the length of this post, but the history and details seem necessary to eliminate some suggestions that have been tried and tested. I've been busy over the last few weeks working on the beast, but I'm making some headway. It's a 1990 120hp looper...

    Looking for Saltwater fishfinder input...

    Hey there, Been combing the posts and seem to have gotten a few good leads but I thought I'd throw out my specifics and see what people think. All my fishing is saltwater in mostly shallow water (5' to 30', I flyfish only, can't get down deep). I have a credit with West that I can use to...

    what's the difference between these parts...

    Just looking at my power pack for my 1990 J120TLESB Johnson and it has a part number on ot of 584041. The BRP breakdown lists a 584040 as the correct powerpack for my motor. It doesn't list the 584041 in any search on the site. CDI has an 113-4041 powerpack that replaces them both. The cross...

    "Right in the middle of it!!" Carb question??!?

    Hi there, I have a 1990 Johnson 120 V4 that's been running rough at an idle since I bought it this spring. I pulled the carbs right off and even though they looked spotless I cleaned them pretty thoroughly and re-installed. Given the shape of them, I wasn't surprised that it made no...

    Prop question....120 v4

    Hi, Once again looking for sage advice. I spun the hub on my prop and I decided to replace it with new. The problem is, I can't figure the size from the numbers stamped into it, "176884". I've just spent the last few hours digging through the faq's and forum for prop advice and think I have...

    1990 120v4 running rough...

    A few questions before I start to tackle the rough idle.... I've been poking around the forum and got some good leads on where to start but had some lingering questions. My 120 runs very smooth on high end but idles very rough and continues up to @ 2400 rpm before it evens out (rough erratic...

    120hp v4 fuel problem??

    Hey there, History first... 1990 Johnson V4 120hp, vro capped off. I bought the boat (1978 Wellcraft CC 20' in decent shape) and motor for relatively cheap money. The motor had a complete top end rebuild and the owner couldn't pay for it so the marine service shop owned it for storage. The...

    battery placement and cable guage questions...

    Hi there,<br />As part of a bigger project on my '75 Wellcraft 20 CC, I'm considering moving my batteries from the stern to under the center console (long story, but it would make some issues much easier). The fuel tank is also under the console, so there's that to consider but the question is...

    Water coming from odd spot on '90 Johnson 120

    Hi there,<br /><br />New to the forum and new boat owner, pretty shiney all said and done. Great site you've got here and I look forward to digging deeper. My question is about a 1990 Johnson V4 120 Mod J120TLES. When I put the earmuffs on it to winterize it I noticed a fair amount of water...
