Picked up a Lowe deck boat last weekend that has a 1994 120hp V4 Johnson, J12TLERC. I'm fairly well versed in my old 1976 85hp Johnson crossflow V4, but this 120 is huge in comparison. I'm assuming it is about as bulletproof as most any other OMC v4, but are there any issues to watch out for? The Oil Injection is new to me, as I read, it seems some of the early VRO systems had issues, but somewhere along the way they became very reliable. Should I be concerned about this one?
I have only started it enough to ensure it starts as it has 4 year old fuel, so I may be rebuilding the carbs if cleaning them out doesn't get it.
Thanks,
Jason
