    1998 225 neutral safety switch

    Motor will start when in gear. I assume this is a bad neutral safety switch, but I thought they normally failed 'closed' such that motor wont start at all in neutral. Is this likely the neutral safety switch? I have a spare so planned to swap but wanted feedback... TY!

    1999 90 Johnson volt regulator bolt size

    So long shot, but boat is 2 hours away from me and I have a stripped hole for 1 of the regulator bolts. 2 years ago when it happened I was able to go up a size in bolt and use permatex and no leak. Now, I need to swap the regulator and I plan to heli-coil the hole. But, I dont know what size...

    1998 225 Johnson shift/return to neutral

    I replaced my waterpump this year. When I dropped the LU, it was in neutral; when I put the LU back on (with gearcase in neutral), the hole in the shift rod lined up fine with the shift lever in the motor, and the bolt went in through the eye of the shift rod no problem. Tested shift on the...

    Johnson 225 stripped LU bolt

    Hi Everyone, So replaced the waterpump on my 1999 Johnson 225. On my last 3/8" LU bolt, it stripped and pulled out some threads with it. The other 4 3/8" bolts are good, as is the 7/16" bolt, all torqued to spec. For the stripped hole, hoping the threads ran deeper, I tried a 1/2" longer...

    1999 90 Johnson Air Silencer ... does it need to seat tightly?

    So one of my low-speed carb jets plugged up, and i believe it was a piece of fuel hose breaking down (thanks ethanol!). I had replaced all fuel lines from tank to motor years ago with new A1 ethanol resistant hose. It occurred to me when this happened that my fuel hose from the side of the...

    1998 johnson 225. I cleaned all 6carbs with new gaskets installed over winter. Boat runs up to 5700RPMS at WOTand idles in great at around 750rpms per my OMC tach. It will idle at the dockfor 20 minutes no problem, and will idle forward when leaving the dock for along time too. When running...

    1998 225 Johnson Idle Speed Adjustment

    Motor idled great last year. Rebuilt all 6 carbs (taken apart, new gaskets) over winter as preventative maintenance. Had an ignition issue at end of last year and I replaced stator, timer base, powerpack and voltage regulator. Now, at idle forward it hovers around 650rpms which is great most of...

    1999 90 Johnson V4 weak spark

    Hi, I pulled the flywheel yesterday -- what a pain getting the plastic timing wheel off. I broke mine but have a new one on the way. I have seen plenty of bad stators in my day and this one looks like it just came off the assembly line -- no brown goo, no burnt windings. I don't have a DVA...

    1999 90 Johnson V4 weak spark

    Hi gang, I have an issue with my 90 Johnson 60 degree V4 any insight greatly appreciated!! Carbs were gone through and cleaned out along with new gaskets this winter. Tach was dead so I swapped rectifiers (had another used but good one) and tach functionality has returned. Pulled compression...
