My neighbor just bought a used boat with a newer OX66 Yamaha 225HP. He had a mechanic check it out and said it all looked good and everything is still original. My neighbor says it runs a little rough at lower RPM's but runs smooth at higher RPM's. The mechanic told him that the reason for this...
Motor is a 89 mariner 150HP 6cyl. Sometimes the motor will start right up and will run OK. Sometimes you go to start it and it will not crank. When it does this there is no fire at any spark plugs. Motor does not run rough and has not died while running ever. have checked and rechecked my...
I have 92 60HP Johnson. I have done the upgrades to the cooling system and put a new waterpump on last year. I am going through thermostats like crazy. They all fail to where the engine starts running too hot. One even had the plastic housing go to pieces. I seem to get 6 months out of each...
I recently replaced my stator and was in a hurry and accidently crossed 2 wires. There are 2 yellow wires from the stator that connect to 2 yellow wires to the regualtor. I somehow in a moment of haste connected 1 yellow to yellow and the other to the grey wire of the regulator. I noticed my...
I'm posting this to maybe help some other poor individual like me that this happens to. I have been posting about a 92 60HP 3Cyl that wont idle but will run only if you push the throttle halfway and then at speeds around 1800 RPM. Have checked and rechecked everything I knew. However sometimes...
I am in the process of replacing my stator and powerpack on my 92 60HP Johnson Tracker. I noticed there was instructions with the stator that tells about relocating the telltale to the top of the cooling jacket. This boat just came from the dealer here a year ago and was not caught then. After...
After having trouble with missing and erratic motor problems, i have determined my ignition system is bad. I pulled the flywheel and found the pickup coil coated with a white powdery haze and the stator cracked and melting. The little fuse in the red holder that runs to the stator has been...
Hello. Motor is a 92 60HP 3cyl. Went out yesterday morning and motor cranked up ok and trolled down the bayou to the store and shut it down. Came back 10 mins later and cranked right up. Ran 5 miles open 39mph out and suddenly the engine stalled for a second or two and then pulled right back up...
After having removed my powerhead and resealing the case, I got VERY familiar with the manual. I noticed that the 60 and 70HP are the same block and all. I asked my dealer what makes the difference and he said it had to do with bigger high speed jets and timing. He did not know anymore than...
Just got back around to tinkering with my motor tonight and found a no spark condition. Turned starter over several times and no spark. Checked wire connectors and wiggled them. Tried it a second time and still no spark. Got mad and punched the powerhead in the side where the exhaust plate is...
I am currently in the process of sealing a case leak (see previous post). Was wondering about slack in the motor. Are 2 stroke motors supposed to have some slack when turning the crankshaft. Motor was quiet and smooth while running. However, now with the case opened up, if I rock the crank back...
Well, I finally got a call from the mechanic today and they said that my case has a leak between the 2 halves that is sucking outside air in and causing it to run rough and not idle. They said this would be about a $1500-$2000 bill. They cannot get to this type repair until after the summer is...
Brought my boat in to the shop and was told it could take up to 2weeks before they could get to it. I said OK because they are the closest to me and have always been treated exceptionally well by the counter person when I've needed parts. <br />Well today it's been 2 weeks, 2 days 12 hours and 4...
Ok, I'm stumped! My motor was idling poorly a few months ago and fixed it by a sync&link adjustment per the manual. Everything ran great after that. Now motor is sneezing through top carb and won't idle. Checked plugs and changed. Checked coils and tried adjusting fuel mixture, pulled needle on...
Noticed a strange change in tone of my motor today. Not like a knock or grinding noise. It lasted about 2 to 3 seconds. Was running down a pipeline canal and was full throttle until the end when I slammed the throttle shut. I usually don't do this! Was just too much fun though! What could that...
