    97 Johnson 150 looper vapor pump issue?

    OMG @kevinj and @faztbullet! I just went out to the engine again and may have found my mistake! Feeling really dumb on this one. That hose I connected to the carb vent on #1 maybe was supposed to go into the hole on top of the air silencer that I didn't notice before?! Would make sense since...

    Hi Folks! My brother purchased a boat last year with this engine and said that the engine runs well, but the p.o. said he can't get it to shift into forward or reverse. I have not had a chance to work on this yet as it is in North Ontario and I'm in New York. I will be going there this coming...

    Throttle Plate Adjustment?

    Hi Folks! I am workiing on my 1997 Johnson 150 (J150NXEUC). On the Stbd throttle body when removed from the engine I notice that the throttle plates seem to not be centered and they stick slightly open under the spring pressure when they should be closed. If I push them closed, they are sticky...
