    1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power Greg E-you are correct as far as I know. Good observation. I disconnected the tan and blue, turned key to "on" and checked for spark at the head and no spark, plugged it back in and sparked. The alarm horn must have been removed prior. Now I will purchase...

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power Thanks for reply, I have some work to do. Also, I removed the thermostat on the port side just to inspect and it does not look anything like the manual. Is it stock or aftermarket? Should I just order the OEM kit? thanks for your help.

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power I have a picture of the controller that you have described. I looked under dash for an alarm horn and cannot locate it. Also, I looked on motor everywhere and did not see anything. Unless it is behind the VRO or starter, I do not have a horn. The purple...

    1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power dehydrated-the tan wire you are referencing is the one on the right? Temp switch tan wire? The controller in the manual is not the same as I have. I am trying to locate the horn to test it to see if it is working too. Thanks

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power I pulled the head on the STBD side today and took a few pictures. This side looks and feels very smooth with no marks. Sleeves are flush with block casting and pistons look to be in good shape. I talked to a friend and he suggested I just put it back...

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power Greg, Sorry but pictures were taken at night and may have been unclear. I have attached more photos for reference of the same middle cylinder. The picture where I'm pointing is to show there is a very small piece of piston missing. Not sure if maybe the...

    Re: 1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power Update: I was able to check the plugs and they all looked clean, none were scorched or such. Plugs only have approx 30 hours. I know this is not going to give me any indication of what is going on but didn't have adequate time to perform compression check...

    1987 Johnson J200TXCUC lost power

    First off, I was underway and cruising at approx 4500rpm when the motor lost power and slowed to a stop then cut off immediately. I then let it set for 10 minutes and tried to start and as I turned the key all of the gauges/fish finder/gps would cut out and motor would not turn over. Maybe a...
