    Power Trim Issue - 1995 130 Johnson

    I have a 1995 130HP Johnson. Both the switch at the throttle and motor work properly. The motor will go down without a problem, and will not go up. This problem is intermittent, though today was not able to get the motor back up after numerous attempts. I tried switching the relays and that...

    1995 130 Johnson Overheat - Port Side

    My 130 Johnson seems to be a very sensitive motor. Last year I ran it all summer without thermostats. I inserted the stats again in December and ran it for a whole day - no problems. I used the boat this year and noticed that the port side was on the hot side - noticably different from the...

    Synthetic Gear Oil in a 1995 130 Johnson ? ok ?

    I was wondering if someone can confirm that the newer Synthetic Lower Unit oil is ok in some of the older motors. I recently purchased OMC - HPF Synthetic Gear Oil from my local dealer. He no longer carries the older "Hi Vis" oil. I noticed when I filled the lower unit it is much thinner in...

    Idle Timing - 130HP Johnson - 1995

    I have a 1995 130 HP Johnson that before I adjusted the idle timing, ran really rough between 1100-1500 RPMs. When I say rough, almost like a misfire. Yet at 800-1000 RPMs she was smooth as silk, and anything in excess of 1500 all the way to 5000 she didn't miss a beat. Nevertheless, I touched...

    Warning Buzzer - OMC v4 - Diagnosis

    I have a 1995 130hp Johnson - I used the boat fairly extensively on Saturday. Towards the end of the day, I was getting intermittent beeps from the warning horn. (it happened only 3-4 different times ) When I say intermittent, I mean that there was no cosistency to the tone. Typically when the...

    V4 Johnson Overheat Condition - 1995

    When I purchased this boat this year I installed new thermostats and waterpump. I did notice some sand present when replacing both of these items. Is there a way to clean / flush the heads using compressed air or water without taking apart the heads ? could sand possibly clog the stats ?

    Power Trim and Tilt - loss of pressure

    I have a 1995 130hp Johnson with power trim and tilt. If the motor is lifted all the way up, it will ever so slowly go down. I filled the resevoir with fluid this weekend and worked the motor up and down a number of times to purge the air. This didn't seem to be the problem. I also used...

    Tilt and Trim Issues - Hydraulic Resevoir Question

    I recently purchased a 1995 130HP Johnson that has tilt and trim. When the motor is raised, it will ever so slowly come down. I used soapy water around the seals to see if there was a leak, and didn't notice anything. I have a picture of the resevoir below. Can anyone tell me if you can take...

    95 Johnson 130 WOT Loss of RPM and power

    I have posted other problems - misfire loud popping etc - finally did a Sync & Link and engine runs smooth as silk at idle and at 2500 - now all 4 plugs are burning equal and I would say on the wet side. But - that's it can't get her on plane, can't rev over 2500 at WOT. All checks were done in...

    Johnson 130 with CDI - Good Timing Light

    I borrowed an old Craftsman Timing Light & it worked for a few minutes and then I assume the bulb blew out - I bought an inexpensive light for 20 bucks as reading through the forums some people say the inexepnsive ones usually have no problems - I've read some high end Snap On's don't work well...

    1995 Johnson 130hp Carbuerator Question

    I have a bad misfire which after doing all of the electrical checks as per the OMC book, my next step was to look at the carburetors. In reading the manual (which I am almost certain is the correct one) it references an"internediate air bleed orifices " in the upper left corner which I checked...

    130HP Johnson V4 - Stator, sensor coil, power pack - diagnosis

    I recently purchased a boat with a bad misfire. I changed the plugs, wires, and used a new source of fuel to eliminate the easy stuff. My next test was to check the timing. Cylinder 1 and 2 were already marked on the flywheel and appeared to be ok. When I tested cylinder 3 I discovered the...

    I currently have a 1992 90 HP Johnson Outboard. When I went to change the gear oil in the beginning of the season I noticed that it was a milky color. I recently performed a pressure test on the lower unit using 15 lbs of pressure. The first seal I checked was the bearing housing underneath...

    1992 90HP Johnson - Water in lower unit

    I purchased this motor last year and ran it for approximately 12 trips on a newly filled lower unit. I went to change the gear oil this year, and it was milky in color. It appears as though I am taking water in, not leaking oil out. I say this, because when I pulled the top plug the gear case...
