randlang says he can push his rams in by hand. That is same basic problem as engine falling. failure to hold pressure.

Re: johnson tilt and trim problem



I am having the same problem after taking the motor off to replace the filter and O ring. The tilt ram works good but when the engine hits the trim rams it lowers very slowly. It should take about 15 seconds to trim all the way in and it takes about 2 minutes. I think the tilt ram is doing all the work and the trim rams are resisting compression. My mechanic believes that I may have lost one of the check balls in one of the 4 check valves that are visible when you lift the motor off the valve body. He says there are what appears to be 4 valves and only 3 have balls in them. Are there supposed to be 4 check valve balls? If one is missing would it cause this problem? If there are supposed to be 4 balls where can I find a replacement? None of the schematics or parts lists show these check valve balls.

I had the same problem and reinstalled the bearings, poppet, and springs out of order in the piston. Ball should rest on top of poppet, then poppet in spring and the stiffed inside each of the four holes.
