Howdy guys,
I'm sure this topic has come up before but I couldn't find anything that was quite the same situation.
I have a 1977 johnson 140hp outboard and am having problems with the PTT. The engine tilts up just fine, I just can't seem to make it tilt down.
Manual pressure release works fine. I have checked and topped off the hydraulic fluid but that did not help the issue.
The tilt/trim motor sounds very strong when raising the motor. When I go to let it down, the motor seems to move down about 1/2" and then stop. I can hear the trim/tilt motor working but it will not move the motor.
Anyone have any ideas on what this could be? Could this possible be a bad solenoid?
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
