Hi All after consulting the manual at 1000rpm the grey tach wire should show 9v +or- 1v. Came in at 2.38v, disconnected the grey wire from the terminal strip as pictured and it raised by 1v as it should. Disconnected the VRO Amphenol connector it also raised the reading by about 1v.

G'day All,
Last year i replaced my rectifier and regulator assembly(sits on top of block just behind fly wheel)thinking it was a little questionable after the tacho would drop in and out.It fixed the problem but now the tacho only reads to about 4200 then drops out, it ocassionally flickers...
Can one any tell me how to get the throttle control apart.. My controls have a centre button you press in to allow a fast idle/warm up with the gears disengaged. So no fast idle lever.I have removed the mounting screws, the 3 long screws in behind the cover of the shift handle. I can not see any...
just curious of what operating temp this motor should run at, what temp should the thermostats being opening at. I want to test the thermostats, the current thermostats have 143 stamped on the bottom of them.
Finally I replaced the reg/rect as the tach was intermittent, after R&R of reg/rect...
G'day all hope the weather has been kind enough to let you out on the water. OK my question is, should I position a 90ltr under floor tank as close to mid point of the hull to help balance out the addition of a second battery or keep it in its original position toward the stern. My positioning...
Hi again all, took the boat out for a test run yesterday and on start up an alarmsounds just after a minute or so of run time at idle. One second alarm pulses, tell tale is strong, I can touch the heads and cyl walls. I thought oil starvation from VRO, sucking air may be so stopped motor opened...
Repalced the reg / rect and the motor charges at 12.4 volts (across the battery terminals) at about 2k on the tach. 11.96 at idle. The charge rate rises only slightly as you can see. I'm sure it should be charging at about 13.5 to 14.2 when tested across terminlas when raised above idle. The...
I really like getting into these forums good common sense and a wealth of knowledge is so beneficial thanks to all who have helped me so far. Ended up getting a 13 7/8 x 15 stainless second hand.Hub is in exc cond cupping good, no nicks or damaged unused for 10 years the part number leads to a...
Gday from Australia fellow boaters. I just acquired a V4 115hp johnson previous owner claimed it was a 1995 model same as the hull. I have looked on the mounting bracket but can not find a model number anywhere. I am sure it has been painted at some stage may be its under the paint...but...
G'day to all boaties out there. I have a 1986 Johnson 70 that starts and idles fine in the water. Idles at about 1150 rpm. Once i have it warmed up with the fast idle, it will sit and idle but one i try to engage a gear and raise the idle it stalls and sounds like it runs out of fuel. Flick the...
