    1996 200HP - At my wits end - Overcharging Problem!!!

    Seems like this problem won't go away: The motor is overcharging and won't go over 3k rpm. During July I replaced the carbs due to an idle issue. The mechanic had it for 5 weeks and could not get the motor to idle! That problem was solved but when I went out on the lake on a test run I had a...

    1996 Johnson 200hp Starting/Running Problems

    I have a 1996 johnson 200hp and am having a low rpm problem. Some history: I had a carb rebuild & sync late last year and have not used the boat over 1-2 hrs since the rebuild. It ran great at the time though. This year it has developed a problem out of the gate where it is a bit hard to...

    1995 Johnson 200HP 2 cyl no spark!

    Recently when running I lost RPM's. I hobbled the boat in and tested the compression - good on all 6 cyl's. Tested the spark and found none on lower two cyl on port side. Tested the coils and they are ok. My questions is: Is it more likely a failure of the power pack or trigger base (sensor...

    New Electric 4 wire Fuel Pump for 200HP Johnson

    I am replacing a VRO fuel pump with a non VRO fuel pump. The VRO pump has 4 wires and most of the replacements I have seen have only two wire. Does anyone know what the other 2 wires are for and how I can rig it up? Or does someone sell a direct 4 wire electric non VRO fuel pump for a 1995...

    95 Johnson 200HP Starting/Running Problems

    I have two issues and wonder if they are related? 1. My boat is always on a trailer and stays in the trailer lock mode. It may go a week between runs. When I put it in the water, I pump the ball until firm and try to start. After several tries it runs quick and dies. I have to pump the ball...

    Johnson 200 HP - Slow to plane low RPM's

    I had my powerhead built last year and it ran fine. This year the rpm's stick at 4k and I have to trim it to get it to plane (18mph). This can take from 30 sec to several minutes depending on load & wind. After it planes, the RPM's will go to about 5,400 and the boat zips along okay. It will...

    Johnson 200 HP, (1995) Slow to reach high RPM

    I recently had my power head rebuilt (blown cylinder). The engine initially ran fine, but now it takes a long time to reach planing RPM whether under a load or not. It appears like it is fuel starved as it will surge a little before climbing to enough RPM to plane out. I have check all the...

    Fuel Pump Wiring Question

    I recently started mixing my own fuel on my VRO system. I have a '95 200 hp Johnson. I plugged the oil line and did all the things I needed to change it over. Well my fuel pump recently quit working and I was able to get a working older VRO pump. However here is my problem: The older pump is...
