I will start with some history of the engine. 2000 Johnson 2 stroke 4 cyl 90HP. Recently rebuilt powerhead have had no problems. I'm at 60 hours on the new rebuilt one and it was broken in properly. I hardly ever run it wide open. When I do it will run wide open for about 2 minutes then start to...
Hey guys who all is fishing near Egmont Key lately? Post what you've been catching. I am finally out of clinicals for a month and I will be hitting the water every other day I can. Usually Desoto to Egmont key to longboat is as far North and South as I go and I usually always hit the skyway out...
On top of the water tube is there supposed to be a small circular rubber grommet with a smaller hole then the water tube in it? I believe this would seal the water tube when it meets the 2nd part of the water tube up in the mid section? Here's a picture to what I am talking about. Im not sure...
Re: Bad water pump entirely?
Hey guys I think I found the problem if I am right here. On top of the water tube is there supposed to be a small circular rubber grommet with a smaller hole then the water tube in it? I believe this would seal the water tube when it meets the 2nd part of the water...
Ok so I will get to the point. I changed out my impeller. It was the correct replacement for sure and all of the o rings were put back in. The impeller was turned the right way so it is flowing water in the right direction inside the water pump housing. I turned the engine over and it would not...
I have a 2000 90hp 2 stoke 4cyl Johnson. I had the manufacture tachometer on it with the check gauges at the bottom. Basically the tachometer did not work but the gauges did (low oil, overheat, etc.) The guy I got the boat from tried fixing the tach before I got it and changed the setting of...
Here's what happends to make things simple. Original power pack and coil pack on my 2000 Johnson 4cyl 2 stroke motor its a 90hp. A new powerhead has also been put on it because I blew two cyl. I ride it for about an hour or so then go to idle. After I idle for about 15min it just shuts off like...
Here's what has happened to me the past two times i've been out on the water. I idle for about 400yards, then run about 3800 rpms for 10 miles stop, idle for about 5minutes and run back the 10 miles, but when I go to idle the 400yards back to the slip the motor dies. It will start right back up...
I just received a quote to rebuild the top starboard cylinder for $2000, thats completely rebuilt on a 2000 Johnson 2 stroke 4 cyl. Does that sound about right on price? It is a mechanic that I can trust but I just didnt plan on it being that much. Any help would be great. Thanks!
All four cylinders are reading 50LBS. This is tested at full throttle. Boat runs like ****. Spark plugs are good. Possibly blown head gaskets or pistion failure? Thanks
Hey everyone im a little stumped on this one. I just recently changed the plugs on the motor and put new thermostats in. Cleaned all filters and did put everything back together correctly. I checked compression on all cylinders and everything is good. Although the engine is still running hot. I...
I recently changed the impeller in my 90hp V4 2 stroke 2000 Johnson thinking it would fix the two cylinders on the right (when looking at the motor from the behind the boat.) I start the motor from a cold start up and 3 minutes later I cannot even keep my hand on the those two cylinders but the...
Ok guys I'm stumped on this one. I was out on the water, all the sudden my engine slowly loses power then cuts off. Ran it again for two more minutes on a plane and did it again so I let it sit for an hour and just to be safe I mixed oil in the gas, I put some oil right in the fuel water...
Hey everyone just wanting to see what most brands of batteries people are using. I'm going to be buying a deep cycle Exide Nautilus battery. Any body had any luck with these? I keep thinking a battery is a battery but I like the warranty on them and they are available to me very cheap
I'll cut straight to the point here. I'm wanting to have less amperage draw on my lighting on my boat. I've heard LED lights are the way to go for that purpose and also have less glare on the stern light. Does anyone run LED's? On their boat and know if its less amperage draw? Thanks in advanced...
