Shop Manual Johnson 140

[epresutti]

Folks,<br /><br />My question is: What is the best shop manual for a 82' Johnson 140 with Tilt&Trim, extended shaft Model (B) or (D) can't make out the last digit on the number.<br /><br />Explination:<br />I started with "I'll just replace the deck", over two years later, new stringers, deck, transom, you know the story.... Well by this time the motor has been sitting, when I "parked" it there was a problem with some component heating up and causing the motor to drop to an idle after about 45 minutes of running. Before I put the motor and all its associated parts back on I would like to go over it as best I can.<br /><br />Motor hasn't been run int two years plus, I will be looking for advise on the best route to fix the heating up problem and how to get this thing ready after sitting for so long.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any help.<br /><br />Cheers.

Seloc or Clymer each has it's good points. I use a manual that covers 1973-1990 48-235hp which is not too bad and I supplement it with advice from this forum.<br /><br />Hmmm...sitting two years well, I would start with the impellar, thermostats,compression test, clean the carbs, yeah get the manual. You might have encountered a electrical problem 2 years ago.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />Bob

Ed,<br /><br />The manufacturers manual is the best. Keep checking e-bay. There are always lots of them on there. Use "outboard manual" as your search.

Hooty,<br /><br />Thanks for the info, went to their site, they say they only provide manuals for 1979 and older, I have an 82'. I am going to give them a call anyway, maybe something has changed or they can get it.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br />Will advise.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />emp.

Clymer manual is prety good.<br /><br />I suspect that you model has some form of rpm limiting when the block hits 200f does a hooter sound when it drops the rpm's?<br /><br />Replace the impeller, check the thermostats and presure valves. How much salt is in there as well?<br /><br />Carbs will need to be cleaned and fresh gas helps. Clean out the fuel tank as well.<br /><br />Even in 80f water it should not get very hot.
