    Johnson 50hp 1996 won't switch off at key switch.

    Hello all. I recently posted about a non starting outboard. Followed your advice, found a disconnected power cable, and a broken neutral switch. I also replaced the key switch. Now , I can start the engine, have it running for as long as I like, but removing the kill switch does not stop the...

    Johnson 50hp Not cranking normally

    Hello All, This has probably been covered many times, but.... I had my Johnson 1996 50 hp cranking and starting O.K., then it suddenly wouldn't. Key turned to start, absolutely nothing, no click from solenoid. Battery is well charged, and I can get it to crank when I connect, at the solenoid...

    Hi all. The cable on my 1996 Johnson 50hp (BJ50 BELEDS) has broken. I was going to order a replecement, and thought this should be part no. 0436202. However, when I tried to remove the bottom end of the cable from the cylinder and main unit, it would not move at all until I broke it off. Now...

    where to apply multimeter leads, stator/power pack test.

    Hi, I've had a no spark issue on my 96 Johnson 50hp 2 cylinder outboard. My first diagnostic tests directed me to replace the rectifier and the stator. Still no spark. To test the stator, and power pack, where do I attach the DVA multimeter probes? I originally disconnected the stator from the...
