    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    UPDATE: I got my DVA in and it appears the timer base is bad. I read that you have to set the timing after changing it. How difficult is that to do? Should I take it to a shop to have that done?

    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    Organized troubleshooting is being done. That's how I discovered the bad stator to fix the no spark issue. Doesn't matter how reliable parts are, this is a 30+ year old motor and if man made it, it will fail. Thank you for the suggestions.

    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    I think so. Besides, the compression has been in that range for years and the motor was working fine.

    Should I have replaced the ignition coils since the powerpack was changed late last year and the stator changed last week?

    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    Yes, I did a spark check and have spark. The engine cranks ok also. It is a CDI brand and I'll check the pins in the plug. Can any of what you're mentioning cause my issue? Thanks for the suggestions.

    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    Yes, issue started after I replaced the stator. Water comes out of the tell tale with a strong stream. I don't think that's the issue. When I attempt to go forward, there is nothing. The engine remains on and as I push the throttle forward there is no acceleration and then it dies out.

    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    Sorry, the powerpack was replaced last year. The stator was replaced last week. I did a compression test yesterday and the all three cylinders read 92, 93, 94. Tell tale comes off the side of the block.

    1991 60hp Johnson Issue

    My 60hp Johnson will start fine and appear to rev up in forward and reverse when on muffs. However, when I put the boat in the lake and attempt to give it gas, it barely moves and dies if I try to accelerate. It also dies when I put it in reverse. I replaced the stator and power pack about 3...

    1991 60hp Johnson Bog down under load

    I have a 91 60hp Johnson 3 cylinder that bogs down on the water. It will get up to about 20 mph and shakes violently if I try to push it further. It runs great when out of the water with portable water tank. It appears to have trouble pushing the boat. Compression on all 3 cylinders was between...

    1991 Johnson 60hp VRO2 Pump Removal

    Is it possible to remove my VRO2 pump and replace it with a standard fuel pump? The oil side of the pump was disconnected by previous owner and the engine ran fine. However, I am now experiencing an engine "stumble" as I am running the engine. I have changed the plugs and used a portable tank...
