    Need assistance. 1984 Evinrude 90 VRO V4

    I wouldn’t order a cheap pump. If you don’t mind pre mixing max rules sells a good pump and won’t cost near what a good VRO pump would cost.

    1986 Johnson 175 lost spark one bank

    I picked up a new power pack but when I went to install it I found the problem. One of the connectors must not have had a good connection and burned up. I cut out the connector and soldered the wires together and have spark now.

    1986 Johnson 175 lost spark one bank

    Last time out I had cylinders dropping out at an idle but would kick in when I throttled up a little. I figured it was plugs fouling do to running double oil because of rebuild. I changed the plugs and I have no spark on one bank of cylinders. I’m thinking it’s the power pack on that side but...

    2986 Johnson 175 ignition issue

    Update, I found I have a bad ground on one of the power packs. I traced the black and yellow back to the big red connector and it is bad leaving that connector. Looking at the diagram it appears both black and yellow leaving the connector share a pin in the connector. I’m guessing the problem...

    2986 Johnson 175 ignition issue

    When I shut the motor off one bank 3 cylinders continue to fire and the engine won’t shut off. It did this last year but was fixed when I replaced the power pack. I have a wiring diagram and will be doing some testing today. My plan is to test for continuity to ground at the power packs when...

    1986 Johnson 185 difference

    I don’t know the model number of the 185 but will ask to verify the year. My 175 model number is J175txcd. You are correct the bore size of my 175 is 3.625. I just did a complete rebuild just before winter. I figure with a motor this old a parts motor may not be a bad idea.

    1986 Johnson 185 difference

    I have a 175 HP the same year and was thinking of picking up a 185HP with bad compression for spare parts. They are asking $450 for it but I was wondering what the difference is between the two motors if anyone knows. The lower unit is probably worth that if it’s working. It looks identical...

    Has anyone ever successfully reinstalled a flywheel center hub magnet?

    I just had the same issue and I replaced the flywheel for peace of mind. It didn’t fix my timing issue but that’s going to be another thread after I check a few other things.

    1986 Johnson 175 missing

    Update. I indexed the flywheel and discovered every cylinder was firing late. With a little heat I was able to move the magnet and got it close enough to fire it up and it sounded great. I decided to remove it and epoxy it and found it isn’t a solid magnet and it crumbled when I removed it. I...

    Sorry I meant constant and constant. I couldn’t figure out how to edit it. I was down with corona for a while and will be back trying to figure this out tomorrow.

    1986 Johnson 175 missing

    This is the only diagram I could find. would the 1988 - 92 crossflow be the same? I tried to move the magnet I wrapped it in leather and used a big pair of vice grips and it doesn’t move. I find it hard to believe it moved on its own. I have been searching the internet for a picture of my...

    1986 Johnson 175 missing

    I reattached the magnets and I still have a problem. I am getting a backfire out of the exhaust. I’m thinking the trigger magnet moved a little and is causing the problem. I will attach some pics if anyone can give their advice. If this is the problem can it be fixed or do I replace the flywheel?

    Johnson 150 Rebuild/Remanufacture Guidance

    I wouldn't buy pistons from eBay. I ordered what was supposed to be six .20 over Weisco pistons a few months ago and received a no name set that were .30 over and looked used and it took forever to get them. They were cheap but unusable. You could get lucky and receive what you order if you...

    Thanks for all the help. It’s all cleaned up and just waiting for the epoxy I ordered to come in. this rebuild has been one thing after another getting this back on the water. They shipped me the wrong pistons, found minor damage to the crank when I went to reassemble decided to replace it. A...

    1986 Johnson 175 missing

    I’ve been looking for information on the placement of the magnets and can’t find anything. Three are different from the other three as far as the direction of magnetic pull. Does anyone know if it matters where they are installed?

    1986 Johnson 175 missing

    Thanks Faztbullet, you were right on. My flywheel magnets are loose. Three of them slid together and the other three came out with very little pressure. I can tell where they were glued in but not sure of the orientation. Three pull opposite of the others. Also what should I use to reattach...

    1986 Johnson 175 missing

    Thanks for the suggestions. I agree on the possible CDI electronics issue. I hear a pop out of the exhaust occasionally. I believe I have several issues one being the carb. I checked the magnets when the flywheel was off but I may pull it and put the original timer base back on and will check...

    I’m sure the high apps jet is in. I will pull it apart to verify everything is intact and clean. The only other thing I can think of that would cause this is an air leak somewhere.
