    What is the Fuel Oil Ratio for my 1991 Johnson 155 Commercial Motor

    I am looking to disconnect my VRO fuel pump from my oil reservoir and start pre mixing. Can some one tell me what the correct ratio would be for a 1991 Johnson 155 Commercial motor? Reason I am looking to do this is because my motor hates starting cold and just cranks and cranks. I heard that...

    1990 Johnson 155 Hard to start

    My 1991 Johnson 155 gives me a real hard time trying to start for the first time. It will sputter and cough but takes many attempts to get running. Once it is started I can re-start over and over with no problem as long as it does not sit to long. When trying to start I would pump the bulb until...

    1990 Johnson 155 No Spark on all 6 plugs

    Last week end changed the steering cable. This weekend no spark. I tried many of the tests in Seloc Book with no luck and found no loose grounds, also tested the man overboard lanyard. Originally I did try to start motor with battery charger hooked up. Could this have cooked the power pac? It...

    Johnson 155 Thermostats sticking open??

    I have a 1990 Johnson 155 Commercial motor and I have been told that my thermostats are sticking open and not allowing my engine to run hot enough.

    To much oil from VRO?

    My 1991 Johnson 155 commercial Mod # J155WTXESM appears to be leaking oil out of the carbs after shutting down. This occurs after running at low RPMs for a while through no wake zone to dock. Could it be RIO pump is over pumping? I am going to plug oil vacuum line and premix to confirm. Is 501...

    A local Fuel station has posted a sign stating to check with outboard manufacturer if motor is compatible with new fuels. I think they are adding ethanol now. Is my 1990 J155WTXESM motor ok with this mix?

    Another Oil Alarm question

    I recently started getting a short, 1 second alarm every 3 seconds on my 1990 J155WTXESM motor. After taking a look I found that I had a leak in the oil line running to the VRO Pump. I replaced the hose and the alarm is gone. I put back in today and started getting the same alarm at 4000 rpms. I...

    Correct Service Manual??

    I just purchased a 20' Wellcraft Steplift with a 1990 155 HP commercial Johnson outboard on it. The first thing I did was go out and buy the SELOC manual for 1973 - 1991 60 to 235 HP Johnsons. Problem is they do not mention my engine any where in the manual. Is there a diffrent manual I should...
