'85 Johnson 120 - " 1 second complete shutdown "
My Johnson runs great!
Except there is a one second 'blackout'/miss where the motor will cleanly and completely turn off and come back right where it 'left off'. One second. It's not a cough or a sneeze - It happens cold, warm, at hi or low RPM's. Sometimes the motor will just quit for a second and then like magic, pick right up and run great - or some times it will happen a few times, 6-8x in a row, like your heart stops for a second and then kicks back in.
I believe it is either my stator or my power pack. I have made sure it was not the gas via a 6 gallon supplemental tank. I have also narrowed out the neutral/ key switch by starting the motor - disconnecting the main harness and running her. I have visually checked the wires coming from the stator for good contact ( they all look clean and like they are connecting correctly ). I have knocked on the powerpack w/ a screw driver whil it was in the middel of happening ( no effect ) - the skip still happens...
Any idea how to trouble shoot this ? A powerpack costs $135, an $$$ way to troubleshoot!
Thx,
