    Guest Charger says battery is charged when it is not.

    I have a Guest 3 bank 10 amp charger model #2631a. When I plug it in the green light on the charger for my starting battery turns on immediately saying that the battery is fully charged (when it is not).

    Help with extremely tight steering.

    Can you rebuild a VRO2 or should I just buy new?

    My dealer said this pump can't be rebuilt but I found a kit online for $135 a lot cheaper than $350 for a new pump. Can it be rebuilt and is it a wise thing to do? I am pretty mechanical but I have not had any experience with these things. Or should I just spend the money on a new one?

    99 Johnson 150 Oil Question

If I could get it to restart it would miss badly and will...

    99 Johnson 150 with little to no spark on left bank of engine.

    I have been having some issues was thinking it might be a fuel pump, but when testing spark the left side has very little spark. The entire right side is shooting spark great. I am guessing this probably has something to do with the shift interupter switch (if that is what that switch is)...

    1999 Johnson 150 HP VRO Fuel Pump Problems

    I am having issues with the boat once i put it into gear. It will idle fine but as soon as I put it into gear and try to give it gas it will die. If I flutter the throttle (I have a Hot Foot) it will sometimes go. I checked all the fuel lines and the pickup in the tank and all seam to be ok...
