    2019 pro xs 150 four stroke 49.2 hours?

    I’m having this motor installed after I burnt a hole in the piston on my old 175 Johnson. Is there anything particular about this motor as far as running it I need to know? With the low amount of hours at this age is there anything particular I need to do to make sure it lasts a long time? Thanks

    Finally got a compression gauge to borrow

    I’ve known the dealer I’m talking to on the optimax for years& I’ll ask about that for sure. Another one I’ve known gave me a good price on a merc 150 four stroke with 60 hours on it too so I’m trying to decide what route I want to go. I could have him rebuild mine but I’m not sure that it’s...

    Finally got a compression gauge to borrow

    It says pro xs direct injection & has blue decals & a local dealer i know has it. Haven't saw it in person to know model number yet.

    Finally got a compression gauge to borrow

    100 on 5 cylinders & 0 on top right. Shined a light & saw a hole in the piston. Trying to decide Whether to rebuild the one cylinder or find a good used motor now. Wouldn’t mind having a 175 optimal if I can find one.

    Lync & sync on j175 glsta?

    I noticed the timing roller on the top of my j175glsta motor is off. Since i've put a complete electrical system on it plus a vro i'm assuming a lync & sync needs done to sync everything together. Am i correct in this thinking? How did it get off anyway because it definitely wasn't.Thanks

    Can timing skip?

    Any ideas? Thanks

    Can timing skip?

    Weird thing today. I removed the fuel hose from the anti siphon valve to be able to remove the fuel pick up tube assembly When i noticed after i had removed the fuel line that the ball was still rock hard & absolutely would not squeeze the least bit. I ended up removing it from the filter on...

    Can timing skip?

    I got a check engine alarm twice tonight & bulb sucked flat after plowing & trying to get on plane so I’m taking the fuel pickup assembly’s out of tomorrow to see what’s up.

    Can timing skip?

    Carbs were rebuilt awhile back & said compression was perfect. I’m going to borrow a spark tester & compression gauge next week from a buddy to check it. I remembered when I first put pack &coils on I ran 5450 rpm. Thought I was having spark issue with it cutting out so I put other coils back...

    Thanks. I changed coils & will test it with them

    Can timing skip?

    J175GLSTA I’ve replaced my complete electrical system searching for weak holeshot problems & changed everything one piece at a time based on advice from local mechanics & still wasn’t fixed. I installed a used vro yesterday which cured the cutting out or surging whichever you want to call it...

    Vaccum Switch?

    Oh ok. I wondered if it had anything to do with fuel pressure in the vro with all the trouble I’ve been having trying to figure my motor out. I crimped the fuel line the other night to see if I got a check engine light & alarm & did so I’m good there. Thanks.
