Re: First time rebuilding water pump and impeller Any tips?
Keep at it, you will get it going.
Ok I worked on the Johnson today removed lower unit and replaced Impeller. It was toast in lots of pieces as I expected. It was a little trickey getting the LU back on but my brother was a great help. I don't think one person could do it by himself?
Replaced solenoid and made all new connections. Boom it started adjusted idle at dock.
Took it out on the water NO high speed throttle.bummer. So on the way back to the dock I remembered reading somewhere that someone had this problen too. I left motor idleing at the dock and pulled the top plug wire off and the Motor died .Restarted motor with plug wire back on and then pulled bottom plug wire motor kept running as nothing had happened. A lot of fuel was in the water at the dock when I turned motor off is that from the the plug not firing?
Now do I pull the flywheel and test coils and what else. My thoughts are when I started this I checked the plug wires thought I had good spark, When the motor was runiing It must of got very hot and maybe damaged the coils and what else? I know I am close to having this Baby running tip top.
Any help and tips I will gladly accept.
