    2000 J150 FS rough at 1500-2000 rpm

    Howdy. I've got a '79 Hammond 19' v1900 with a 2000 Johnson 150 Fast Strike outboard motor. It seems to run a little rough (slight shaking) at around 1500-2000 rpms. Runs great at 3000-5000. I've had this for a year. Recently I installed a Raker 14.5" x 24p prop that had been reworked by a...

    Q's: No Kill Sw - Would you advise adding? Tabs, too?

    My main question is would it be easy to swap out the control boxes to gain a kill switch or try to add the kill switch to the control box that is already in use

    Q's: No Kill Sw - Would you advise adding? Tabs, too?

    Q 1 : Kill switch Add a kill switch or swap out for a remote that has a kill switch?? Q 2 : VRO pump giving me a NO OIL light. On my 19' Hammond OB I have a 2000 Johnson 150 fast strike (carbed) using what I believe may be the Original Control Box. It's an Evinrude box, white in color...

    2000 Johnson 150 comp test fail

    I've got marks on the oil tank. That NO OIL light is a deal breaker. Until I troubleshoot it and test all the functions I'll mix manulally. But, even still, that's a 23 yr. aged VROom system and if anything it seems like it's been using more oil than less. I love the idea. But, I finally got me...

    2000 Johnson 150 comp test fail

    It is O-K ! And, that makes me happy. I believe that I was not given full information from the previous owner. The motor may "run good", but I am leaning towards the prospect that maintenance items have not been done. The anode was severely corroded, doing it's job, but probably past due. I...

    A local marina's mechanic is going to let me borrow his high quality tester. Thanks! I'll report, once I get the new numbers

    2000 Johnson 150 comp test fail

    Thanks. I believe that is what @faztbullet was trying to tell me. I will beg, borrow or steal a second comp tester

    2000 Johnson 150 comp test fail

    So, testing in Neutral is fine? I was disappointed to read 60-65 on all 6 cyl. and hoping that my method was flawed.

    2000 Johnson 150 comp test fail

    Howdy. I have purchased a fine little ol' 1979 Hammond v1900 El Dorado (19' outboard) in very good condition with a trailer, pushed by a Johnson 150 Fast Strike (2000 J150PXSSC) 60° carbed V6. I have both a SELOC 1311 and a OMC/Johnson "2000 SS" service manual. Short version: Unable to...

    1987 evinrude 70 vro no fuel or spark

    Understood (a little too late), and point taken! The steps that I took were in the reverse of the proper procedure. It's embarrassing. Definitely a learning experience. The fast strike johnny150 that I am looking at, later today, will get a comp test straight away! Hoping it's strong bc those...

    1987 evinrude 70 vro no fuel or spark

    I knew that I was taking a chance on it. The motor was thrown in for $100. The boat and trailer were $500, together. And, I learned a few things about 2-cycle engines. Too bad I hadn't looked inside the engine before ordering the motor parts. At the least I've got a good lower with new oil...
