    Wont Start. Johnson 1979 25hp

    Pull the starter apart, easy. Clean it and get the brush kit. Make a tool out of thin plastic to reinstall or barrow your wife's butter knives.

    1989 evinrude 120hp

    Test by turning the key in the run position (not running) and ground that tan wire. If you hear nothing warning horn is dead.

    Water testing new to me 115 HO Etec, and Prop size.

    I didn't think it was a g2....are you sure? I have the g1 115 and it has the 6 cylinder foot. My brother has a g1 ho and the only thing I saw was water pickup is different and a few other things. I was also told in the g2 you could get the 3 cylinder and the 6....6 had more torque.

    Water testing new to me 115 HO Etec, and Prop size.

    Agreed. Same boat....same prop as long as it fits the engine. The "HO" doesn't mean much.

    One cylinder, slipped prop, clutch dog

    My guess, bad connection or one coil shutting down.

    Need help with strobe timing on 1972 9.5 HP Johnson 9R72M

    Try it on a boat.....motor needs to be adjusted on the water. Smoke will clear up most likely.

    Johnson engine family

    This is the web site I use. Type in model number or go by year. Race is right though....so not sure on the big research thing. Best of luck. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/parts.php

    Johnson engine family

    I'm with race on this one... P is for power trim and tilt, look lower on your chart....as far as engine family is concerned, I've never heard of anyone looking that up for information related to what they need. Part number cross reference is what most do for engine compatibility.

    115 v4 2 stroke runs rough when warmed up

    I agree, compression numbers and have you tested your overheat sensors and horn?

    Wont Start. Johnson 1979 25hp

    Probably a weak starter. Easiest way I know is to jump it straight at the starter with some jumper cables. Last hookup is a ground on the motor not the battery. Otherwise there is a meter diagnosis. Could be a bad solenoid, wire, etc.

    1989 evinrude 120hp

    The sensors are located on each head. Tan wire coming off the sensor. Test by grounding out the tan wire. The horn (warning horn) might be no good either. Check in your control box or dash.

    1985 Johnson 120hp poor idle/starting

    Spark jump test is good or not. Sounds to me it could be ignition coils or power pack. Mostly sounds electrical but you never quite know.

    Ok, have you tested it?

    1985 Johnson 120hp poor idle/starting

    Spark jump test? Or switch coils and see if it follows. At the very least do a cylinder drop test and see if it keeps running.
