    If you get an AI response that you know to be incorrect. Respond back that "this motor doesn't have Water Passage Deflectors" or whatever. You'll instantly get a response: "You are correct, this motor doesn't have WPD's " Then it will go on to give you more BS.

    I'll take your advice and pull the sensor and test it. As far as the "Pressure Relief Valve" I'm not sure this motor has one. I think the spring and tstat work together to let more water in? I could be mistaken but I've looked at numerous diagrams of the cylinder head and never came across a...

    Thanks for your response. Thinking about it, I agree with your assessment. Since I have everything apart, I'll put a new set of reeds in and check the carb flange surfaces.

    Thanks for your response. New OEM water pump installed with 6 vanes. Tell Tale moved to top of engine. When I had the lower unit and tstat removed I blew compressed air up through the water tube, down the tstat opening and up the tell tale hose. I ran a zip tie up through the idle relief holes...

    Removed the carbs and the intake. I can see light through the reeds on all three assemblies. Nothing broken, some more light shines through than others and number two assembly looks to have the biggest gap with a little warp (maybe?) Also, I'm getting some raw fuel in the airbox? Questions: Does...

    Thanks for your reply. New gaskets came in today. I'll install tomorrow and try to take the boat out for a spin. What do you think about timing? My motor calls for 19 degrees BTDC. Either 1990 or 91 they changed to 17 BTDC. Was there a SB regarding changing the 1989 model timing? I agree with...

    Shift shaft seal(s)?

    Working on the shift shaft cover for a 200hp Johnson (J200PLEEN). I removed one O ring from inside the cover. I'm sure that's the only one that was in there. The Sierra kit I purchased contains two O rings. The parts diagram shows two O rings go into the cover. I was able to get one ring into...
