    Morse control falling apart

    I have a Johnson 90 with a Morse shift/throttle control. The shifter has felt a little sloppy for a while now (lots of movement between forward and reverse, tough to pull out into neutral). Last night, I pulled the lever out to start and it felt like the whole thing was going to come apart...

    Water in fuel -- how worried should I be?

    I had a problem with water in my fuel a while back. I am running a Johnson 90hp 2-stroke on a 17' Whaler. For a kicker, I have an 8hp Yamaha 4-stroke. Both motors come off the same tank, through a Ranco water separating filter. I wasn't paying attention, the filter filled up and killed the...

    Starter clicking on Johnson 90

    I have a 1996 Johnson 90hp V4. I've been having lots of problems with this motor. <br /><br />When I turn the key to start it, some of the time I get that click-but-no-turn that you get when the battery is totally dead; as if the solenoid is engaged but the starter motor can't crank... the...

    I am having an electrical problem with my 1996 Johnson 90hp. (I'm also having fuel problems, but I think they are separate... will ask in other post.).<br /><br />I have had to jump-start the motor to get it started. Once it is up and running, the motor purrs beautifully, then dies after a...

    Battery Combiner - 2 battery charging

    I am thinking of a new setup for my two battery system on my 17' whaler w/ 90hp johnson. Thinking about this due to charging problems (thinking blown rectifier that I'll be asking other questions about as soon as I've made some voltage measurements).<br /><br />What I have now is a 1/2/Both/Off...

    90 HP Johnson won't start

    I just picked up a 1996 90HP johnson on loan. The boat was running fine a month ago, but has been sitting in the water ever since. When I first picked it up, I couldn't get it running... later realized that the water drain on the fuel filter was open. After that, the fuel bulb would not stay...
