    1996 115hp 60degree charging issue.

    I recently noticed my main starting battery hissing after running the motor for 15minutes and shutting it down. Have had a problem with the regulator overcharging 16v+. I've also discovered the battery cables 18' run are not in great shape, very stiff and slightly crunchy in the middle when...

    Battery cables

    I'm in the process of replacing the positive and negative cables that run 18' from the battery neg post and battery switch to the engine. Currently I have 2awg main cables to the engine on the 18' runs, it's been suggested that I should have 1awg for that length of run. The engine is a 115hp...

    Weak starter 1996 115hp

    Johnson 115hp 1996 J115SXEDR I've got a weak starter took it apart and cleaned some black dust out, did not test continuity, put some 3in1 oil on the spindle. The bendix has given me problems in the past, I hit it with some liquid wrench to clean it up and then some 3in1 oil. This motor is a...

    Overcharging 16.5V

    1996 Jonhson 115hp v4 10amp stator 35 amp regulator. I'm on my 2nd voltage regulator on this thing. Had turned off the battery switch while it was running (yeah I know, don't do that) It of course fried the VR. Got another one and it did the same thing charging 16.5. Called CDI, they said to...

    1996 115hp v4 looper

    I did a bad thing, turned off the battery switch before turning off the motor. Now the tach shows 4000rpm. I remember reading that this frys some resistors. Do I need to replace the stator or regulator/rectifier? I forget which one gets cooked, hopefully not both.

    Fuel pump 1996 115hp

    I think my fuel pump is shot. I'm getting no oil mixing with the gas and no alarm sounded yet the alarms for low oil and the overheat alarms work fine. Compression is the same as it's been for 5 years, 95-100 on 3 cylinders and then old cylinder 1 which is 80. I disconnected the oil side of...

    1996 115hp Johnson charging - regulator

    I've got a question about the charging system on a 1996 115hp Johnson ocean pro. I'm getting 14.4 volts to a meter @ 2000-3000 rpm but once I get on plane and go WOT 5200ish the charging system seems to stop. My voltage drops and if using a livewell, trim tabs etc... it starts to run down...

    115hp 1996 compression problem

    "The number one cylinder in my "The number one cylinder in my Johnson 115 is only 75psi, the others are all just over 100. Do I pull the head and just get a look around? I don't know what to look for like a stuck ring, how do you tell if it's stuck? I'm comfortable with doing most work on...

    Timing wheel removal

    "1996 115hp Johnson 60degree w "1996 115hp Johnson 60degree with optical sensor. I've taken out the bolt but cannot get that timing wheel to budge one bit. Any tricks to the removal, I think it's going to break if I pull much harder. Figured just order a new one but I want to make sure...
