    Johnson 9.9 Timing / Sync hash mark way off.

    Re: Johnson 9.9 Timing / Sync hash mark way off. Ok..progress! I now have the throttle sync'd but I have not had an opportunity to test the motor yet as I spent all night getting it right and it was too late to fill the barrel and wake the neighborhood with full throttle testing. Basicly I...

    Johnson 9.9 Timing / Sync hash mark way off.

    Re: Johnson 9.9 Timing / Sync hash mark way off. Joe, I'll clarify a few of your questions: "What does this mean (fatter)?" - The cam itself (the black adjustable plastic wedge on the timing plate) has a screw. I am attaching a picture that I took from Leroy (thanks the machinist). The...

    Johnson 9.9 Timing / Sync hash mark way off.

    I am attempting to set the throttle sync on my Johnson 9.9 as a step in diagnosing a larger issued I am currently having. From what I have read, there is a hash mark on the top of the cam (found it) and it is supposed to line up with the roller when the pivoting action of the roller being...

    1988 Johnson 9.9 Carb issue.

    Hello. I recently acquired a 1988 Johnson 9.9 short shaft. I knew when I purchased it that it had an issue staying running. I tested the motor on the sellers boat. It would start fine, but only run for about 30 seconds, and then would die, unless the primer bulb was pumped and the choke had to...

    1955 Johnson CD-12 Engine Knock

    I have been using a 1955 Johnson CD-12 all summer with no issues. Had it out the other day and after about 5 minutes it started bogging down, and before losing all power, it developed a nasty knock. I brought it home, and re-started the motor in a barrel of water. It started on the first pull...
