Johnson 90Hp Model J90TLCR Won't start or stay running for long

[Jason12702]

I have a 90HP Johnson Model J90TLCR and I needed a jump the last time to the lake I made it about 1/2 around the lake and it stalled. the starter drive would reach out but not spin. Luckily someone came by and I tried to jump off his deep cell trolling motor and it would extend and turn but not start. I took off my battery and hooked up his it started. I put my battery back on and then gave back the other batter I made it about 1/2 and it stalled out. I am at about 10 volts fully charges so I assume that I have a bad cell, but will a bad cell cause the engine to stall running at a pretty good speed ? I do not have a voltmeter hooked up to the engine (Yet) but wanted to know before I start replacing things were I should start. I know a car can run off a alternator once started for a while but will a out board shut down ? I do not have any electronics other than the lights which were off and I disconnected the lights from the battery to make sure it wasn't a ground issue with the lights. Can a new battery solve my problem ?

dont know much about electrical, but you seem to be missing a letter in the motor model number

1984, but many times they have a redundant letter at the end...

the CR defines the motor as a 1984..

good luck

I hate electrical issues myself!!

Im not sure if running with the battery low would cause it to die i dont believe it would though.Check all the grounds on your motor itself if one of those is loose or corroded it might cause that problem. But def start with a new battery
