    Different type trim/tilt oils

    Since I have been unable to find any documentation relating to the old Prestolite tilt only systems would anyone know for sure what type oil was used or specified to be used in the old systems? I notice reading through some other posts on here some have mentioned 10W30 being correct for there...

    Tilt Motor/Pump not lifting

    Just the bit that seeps around the fittings on pump other than that no. I did that on the old pump but had no problem lifting motor. I kept snugging them up and that lead to the stripped threads and now to the pumps that don't lift motor any longer.

    Tilt Motor/Pump not lifting

    The cylinder is also brand new. If you lift up on motor while switch is in up position it will lift but just not on its own.

    Tilt Motor/Pump not lifting

    All of this is BRAND NEW NEVER USED BEFORE pump and motor. The leaks seep around the tube fittings when trying to lift no really bad but enough to make it drip at times.

    Tilt Motor/Pump not lifting

    It will raise the motor but only if I assist it. To me that does not seem like trapped air in the system but I could be wrong. But I did repeat this process approximately 10 times and could not add any more fluid as it was at the filler hole constantly. It will lower the motor each and every...

    Tilt Motor/Pump not lifting

    This system is or was lifting a 1969 Johnson 85. So my old original pump was working but has a stripped out thread port and not finding anyway to fix this I ordered a new 0172388 valve body assembly from this web site. I installed this pump filled with tilt oil and it lifted the motor maybe...

    1969 Johnson 85 power tilt options

    Ok so I believe I have pretty much have all I need to give this a shot. If it works out that would be good if not will just keep my current setup. So a few questions I have or just not familiar with yet but learning as I go as seems to be the procedure with anything older such as this. If anyone...

    1969 Johnson 85 power tilt options

    Yes tilt kit. Just looking to add the one that would have originally been for my motor back in the day. I looked at the CMC but not looking to go into that much. Just the simple cylinder and pump with switch.

    1969 Johnson 85 power tilt options

    You would not happen to know what the kit number was of the one available for my motor in case I did happen across one? Would anyone have any pics maybe of the correct setup for reference.

    1969 Johnson 85 power tilt options

    Are there any options for power tilt on a 1969 Johnson 85ESL69S. I have looked around some but have not came up with a lot so far. I did see the 0172189 power tilt kit for a 72 but even it is no longer available. I also found a POWER TILT KIT PART# 173669 that is available but not sure if it...

    0777647 - Amplifier Kit

    So would anyone know how to check this amplifier and or coil or maybe know what type readings you should get maybe on DVM? The reason I am asking is I purchased one and now it does not seem to work anymore and read about others having similar problems in some reviews. This was purchased to fit...

    Pointless Ignition Upgrade

    I have a Johnson 85ESL69S and is all original. I ran across this and was just curious about if it is a good upgrade or the points system is just as good or better. I had always read and heard there was not a pointless upgrade for these motors but this looks to be one but not sure since I have...

I have taken this all apart cleaned and re greased and at the time did not see anything I thought was wrong with any of the...
