My boat has been sitting for about 2 weeks.Started it today and the low oil alarm went off so I checked the tank on the engine and it was a little more than half full.My question is could it siphon back to remote tank?
Thanks,Jeff
I have a 1992 XR-6 that I picked up used.Well after replacing the water pump,T-stats,oil warning module.I just noticed that on the starboard head at the top left head bolt that the head gasket looks torn and seeps every now and again while running it in the driveway in a tub of water.I have...
On my new to me 1992 XR6 there is no start up beep.Everything appears to be hooked up properly.I read on another thread that there should be 12v on the white wire going to the oil pump motion sensor.There is no voltage on the white wire.There is 12v at the terminal strip on the purple wire that...
I have a 1992 XR6.I need a control box for a center console.I have saw some on ebay.Looks like some of them do not have a igniton switch.Does anyone know what model number controls that will work for my outboard?Do they have binnacle controls with the ingnition switch?
Thanks,Jeff
I just got done putting a new water pump in and replacing the thermostats.Before the replacements there was very little water from the tell tale at a idle but looked good as I revved the engine.The engine felt hot to the touch.Now there is a good tell tale at idle but as I rev the engine the...
I just bought my first Mercury outboard.I hope to use it to replace my 1995 Johnson 130.I do not know much about the history of the motor except it was not ran in atleast a year.I checked the compression it was around 120 on all 6.I gave it some fresh mixed gas and it fired right up.The telltale...
I have a heavy aluminum 20' Polar Kraft mod V with a 1995 johnson 130hp.The 130 has a different lower on it with a different gear ratio.It is supposed to be a 12:27 and it is a 14:26.The 130 had a 17 pitch SS prop on it but I could only get 4800 rpms out of it so I went to a 15 pitch prop not...
I have a 1995 Johnson 130 that has a lower unit on it with the wrong gear ratio (14:26).It should have 12:27 ratio.I have a set of the 12:27 gears available.After looking in my manual I don't think I want to attempt it.I would like to take the gear set and my lower unit to have them swapped.I...
I have a 1995 Johnson 130hp (J130TXAOP).I hit a sand bar going just a little more than Idle last weekend.I was where I wanted to be so I shut the motor off.Later I started to head back down river at a little over idle and my alarm buzzer goes off.I still had a good stream out of the telltale.I...
I have a 1995 Johnson 130 25 shaft that I bought used a few months ago.I mounted it on a Polar Kraft 2096XCC aluminum mod V boat that I am guessing weighs around 2300 lbs as it sits including the outboard.It runs great but I can not get it to go past 5K rpms.I have tried 3 different prop sizes...
I am in the process of replacing the stator and voltage regulator.I am replacing them because my tachometer was not working and it was not charging my battery.My question is,is there anything else I should check before I start the engine.I do not want to damage the new regulator or stator.I have...
I just bought a 1995 130 hp Johnson 25" shaft.I have not had it on the water yet because I am still working on the boat.When I bought it the owner fired it up on muffs and shifted it in and out of gear.It seemed fine to me. When I spin the prop by hand it spins very easily and you can hear what...
I know you can't put a 20" shaft on a 25" transom.I was wondering if anyone has made a bracket or something to make it work.I just can't find a decent price (cheap) outboard around here (Ohio) with a 25" shaft.I have found alot of good deals on 20" shaft motors.Where would be a good place that...
I have a 78 Johnson 70 HP.I just got it about a month ago.The first trip to the lake was trouble free the motor ran great.The second trip was not as good.The motor started fine backed it off the trailer and motored over to the boat dock and it stalled out and would not start.It acted like a fuel...
