1996 Johnson 50
motor almost feels like it slips out of gear momentarily , Rpms will increase from 5800 to 6000 for a split second and the engine will noticeably bump. It is now doing the same thing but dropping to 5600 after the “bump”
Initially we thought it was the clutch dog being worn or the shift being out of adjustment , that’s not the case.
the motor has a change in tone when it drops rpms , kind of feels like you hit something submerged , all the tell tale signs of it physically slipping out of gear , but with a drop in rpms when it catches
I recently replaced the coil with a “good” used one from another motor , there was some wiring issues that have been rectified.
any suggestions other than a brand new motor with a warranty and a new boat and trailer to go with it ?
could a failing power pack , coil , or stator cause this bump and momentary rpm increase , if it is indeed an increase , may be a false reading from the tach ?
