    Universal Voltage Regulator

    My boat is powered by a 1965 V4AL Johnson outboard. It has the optional generator package on it instead of a DC generator. So it also has a junction box on it to rectify the AC and a voltage regulator on it to control the generator field. My regulator doesn't seem to be controlling the field...

    1976 Johnson 70HP rehab issues

    I rescued my Dad's boat with a 76 Johnson 70 horse outboard from his front yard. It has sat there for the last two years. When I started it on the trailer with 'earmuffs' on the water intake water came out of the telltale on the front of the engine, but not from the three discharge ports above...
