Hello again,
Still working on the old Johnson and making steady progresss. I have had it out on the water with varying degrees of success lately. The fuel /air lines have been replaced and the tank has great pressure. I have of late noticed some misfiring and so have removed the plate on the flywheel to look at the coils. They look very clean and dry with no evidence of discoloration or cracking.This morning I was checking things over again and I noticed a hose on the side of the powerhead[obviously the original as it was painted "Holiday Bronze"] and when I checked it with my hand to see if there were any breaks in it, it broke off at its lower end. The rubber line just let go and I can see that it is rotten. Looks like it might be a bit of a tight spot to work in for replacing but I am ready to give it a shot.
The part number is 204189 and it is the "Hose - Oil Line" according to the parts book.
It goes on to two nippples, part number 303423 and is held in place by two clamps part number 303473.
Question: What does this line do?
What is the inside diameter of this line? I still have some fuel resistant tygon line left over from my carb repair if it would work as a replacement.
Would zip ties hold it in place on the nipples that are presently there on the powerhead?
Lastly, as this rubber line was obviously cracked, what impact if any would that have on how the motor has been performing?
Again, thanks for your support on my past posts and I eagerly await your help with this new issue.
