    Any idea what is causing this oil leak?

    Greetings This is a Johnson 115 2 stroke.. This motor came with a pontoon I purchased and seems to run fine. However, I have not started it in almost a month and I am getting a stream of oil seeping down from the behind the upper part of the lower unit or from under the powerhead. I clean it...

    Rectifier Test Reading? 1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke

    After thought: In addition, regarding the testing of the stator, I read some other post regarding similar things. I believe I had the multimeter on the wrong setting. When testing yellow and yellow/grey wire I got a reading on 003 and 0 when yellow against ground. Is there a way to test the...

    Rectifier Test Reading? 1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke

    OK....the tach is working. What I did: I noticed the the rectifier sits awful close to the yellow and gray wire which joins the grey source wire for the tach and the yellow/grey wire is frayed at the end. Maybe its arching. I used to race motorcycles and had a similar issues related to a spark...

    Rectifier Test Reading? 1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke

    Yeah.....I read post #5 but no marine shops nearby me. Nearest probably 2 hours. As I was looking at replacement stator to compare with the one that is on mine.....the replacement has 2 yellow wire but no yellow/grey wire. I've been sitting pondering all the hurdles I'll run into pulling that...

    Yes....using digital meter, but there is only 1 solid colored yellow wire coming from the stator to the terminal block.

    I know you said to ignore the gray/yellow wire but it is the only other wire that comes out of the stator that connects to the terminal block. I tested between it and the only yellow wire coming from the stator. I get a quick reading but abruptly goes to 00.0.....does that mean anything? no...

    No marine shops in my area. It be easier to pull the stator itself. I could replace it for $175. Just hate to if uncertain...but my frustration has a tendency to over power my wallet...😀

    Rectifier Test Reading? 1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke

    I don't know that I'm doing it correctly. I'm testing in the same manner as I did the rectifier. In any case, when connecting yellow wire from stator to ground - I get no reading. Tested same yellow stator wire against both yellows from rectifier - no readings. Again, not sure that is what you...

    Rectifier Test Reading? 1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke

    As I look at the wire diagram,( attached) I see one yellow wire from the stator and the other is a gray and yellow. Is those the ones you are talking about?

    Rectifier Test Reading? 1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke

    Greetings. I'm having a fit trying to get a tach to work on my 1980 Johnson. It did not come with one from the factory apparently. What I've done: Bought a cheap tach (1st mistake) and wired it correctly. Did not function. Tested the rectifier and it tested bad. I was getting readings in both...
