    Johnson 140 no reverse when warm

    I've been (slowly) rebuilding the lower part of my 1980 Johnson 140 for over a year and took it for its first test yesterday. It was fine for a while, but then at about the same time, it would not stop when the ignition was turned off, and reverse gear wouldn't work - made slight clanking...

    Johnson 140 1980 stuck in neutral

    I have removed and reconditioned the lower unit of a Johnson 140hp 1980 outboard. I replaced the water pump and unscrewed the shift-rod and removed the shift-rod housing so I could replace the gasket. I didn't disassemble the gear box, as the oil was clean and black. However after screwing...

    Johnson 140 steering arm removal

    I have removed the powerhead from a 140 Johnson (1980)because the tilt tube is badly corroded, as are multiple parts of the lower unit (although gear-box is OK). I'm having trouble dismantling the mid unit, because the rear bolt holding the rubber steering mount was so corroded I had to grind...

    Johnson 140 power-head removal

    I'm removing the powerhead of a 1980 Johnson 140 so I can fix up all the worn pins etc lower down. I believe I've removed all the bolts to allow the powerhead to be lifted free of the exhaust, but there is no give when I gently prise with a crowbar between the powerhead and exhaust at the rear...
