    1987 Johnson VRO70 Model # J70TLCUR Alarm staying on

    I would agree. What's interesting is no one is chiming in on how to test the pressure side. I know what my 80's series 110 bubble back had issues, I took it in to the dealer and they replaced the vro pump. That was many years ago and because I did that right away no damage was done to the...

    1996 Johnson 50 Not starting

    Will be interesting to see the reply on this one. It appears to me that your magnets are fine and I would think that would be a pretty rare thing but maybe that's older flywheels. I'll be monitoring to see what the what the outcome of this is.

    1987 Johnson VRO70 Model # J70TLCUR Alarm staying on

    I forget whether it's normally open or closed but does it affect the alarm? The other is pressure and I don't know how to test....others will know just be patient

    1989 88 spl starter barely turns flywheel

    The plug wire typically gets ripped off from the boot when somebody puts the cowling on not knowing that it's hooked on the plug wire. I just did it to one yesterday. I typically get about 10 points something volts to the starter after it passes through all the things, personally, I think it's...

    VRO delete fuel mix ratio?

    That outboard was designed to work with a VRO hooked up. Somewhat doesn't surprise me that it's not running very well at low RPMs because that's what the vro does is lean back the oil. Your other issues are definitely issues that you need to remedy. Never run an outboard in a lean situation...

    1987 Johnson VRO70 Model # J70TLCUR Alarm staying on

    Use a portable tank with 75 to 1 to diagnose the vro. Best to keep the vro in my opinion. Seems like the alarm is possibly working as it should.

    1987 Johnson VRO70 Model # J70TLCUR Alarm staying on

    Oil alarm does two things, low oil bottle, (test that the plunger is working correctly) and two low pressure. Your vro pump may have failed. Racerone can tell you what you need to do. (Inexpensive rubber diaphragm).

    1995 Johnson 15hp

    If the plug wires are backwards usually it will backfire. The other expert told you to check the wires from the power pack. Blue is for the top coil green is for the bottom coil make sure that is correct. Most likely it's fuel related because it sat. What carburetor rebuild kit did you buy...

    Scraped bottom

    Pretty sure I didn't say "sharpen it so you can fillet fish" just file it down to get rid of any burrrs Mostly you just want to make sure it's still balanced.

    1991 Johnson 8hp tiller shifting

    My approach is different because there kids.... Everyone fixes it together and then teach them how to change the gear oil. (Every year) I'm guessing it's destroyed.

    1991 Johnson 8hp tiller shifting

    Most outboards when not running you will need to spin the prop while shifting. When mine went out it started screeching. Opened it up, found the balls, greased them so they would stay in place and that gearcase is still running today. I have a backup waiting on the wings. OMC small motor...

    1986 Johnson 6.5hp Questions

    You can certainly hope but probably a dirty carb. I showed someone once what a dirty carb looked like and the couldn't tell that it was dirty. Doesn't take much.
