    Compression Test without a battery?

    I have a remote starter as well and I put one clip to + battery and the other clip where the signal wire comes from the harness. As far as the impact, while I've never done it, I see people doing it online and with all the spark plugs out I can't see a reason to not do it but with three negative...

    Compression Test without a battery?

    You could use an air impact gun on the flywheel nut.

    No helm power - 2018 Yamaha 704 w/ 2021 F150LB 4 stroke

    This may sound stupid but do you have super clean battery connections? I recently had problems at my trim and tilt. When I tested power at the engine I had 12.7 volts so I figured must be t&t relay or worse. Messed around for two days before I tried to start it. No start. Put my meter back on...

    1995 Johnson 70hp starts then dies

    What do the spark plugs look like after the no start happens?

    1995 Johnson 70hp starts then dies

    Did the motor sit with fuel in it for a long time? Sounds like the vro was removed?

    Yamaha 100 hp 2000s flywheel locked up

    Overall what he is saying doesn't make sense. Here is what happens. If the gearcase is not removed periodically and greased, the driveshaft gets stuck in the bottom of the powerhead (crankshaft). Usually means the motor becomes a parts motor. Flywheel or oil pump has nothing to do with it.

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great

    Pretty worn but I can see it though. Right now your at the shift position. See the arrows on each side of the small circle? Next larger circle is the start circle. Represents a pull cord. International symbols instead of words. That is where the throttle should be especially when cold. Turn it...

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great

    Not sure about step 1. Do you have a start position on your tiller? I would swap 3 for 2. 90 is low but I've seen them run that low.

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great

    Yes, primer ball is on the fuel line. Some motors had a manual primer inside the motor instead of a choke....your does not. Like flyingscott says to much info may be messing you up. In my opinion, if it's idling good and running through out the rpm range than it's not the float. Sounds like your...

    1979 Evinrude 55 hp 55975C alarm horn from the controls..

    Tell tale only means it's pumping motor can still overheat. Could be stat, could be plugged passage ways, could be bad sensor. Easiest way is shoot the head with a thermal gun.

    Yamaha C60 knocking noise at higher revs

    Did you run it without the cowl? Check to see if anything is hitting the flywheel. Otherwise I guess I would pull the gearcase and see if anything looks wrong with the pump or shift linkage. What does it do at WOT?

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great

    909, the owner states in post #1 that the engine runs great and in post "3 that idles beautifully and runs smooth with no hiccups. He just has trouble starting it. My guess is his settings are incorrect or something is wrong with his choke.

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great

    I thought 15 but he did not say it was knor is there a picture of his hp. I did see the year and I looked under that. I saw an electric primer but his looks like a tiller...maybe. I see no helm. Having the entire model number would make it all a whole lot easier. Omc only had the manual primer...

    1996 - Johnson Outboard - Difficulties Starting But Runs Great

    First of all always post model numbers. What is hp on the one? Being a first time boat owner,(not trying to be disrespectful) do you know the difference between a choke and a primer? Each one is different in how you use them. I find new boat owners don't know how to start 2 strokes and it's not...

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Well, I'm in Seattle so we are practically neighbors. You can pick up those 70 hp 2 Strokes around pretty cheap (much cheaper than what you list) because most people want the 4 strokes. Problem is you never know what your getting. If it doesn't have much or any salt damage then have at it...

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Well good for you. Glad to see some young folk wanting to rebuild stuff even when it doesn't make financial sense. Remember to go through the gearcase to though because it can be just as expensive as the powerhead when not properly maintained. Racerone, post 47. Follow those guidelines.
