    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Timing Won't Move

    Trying to tune my old 94 Johnson Ocean Runner 225. Right now it's idling way too high most of the time (e.g., 1100 to 1500 RPM) although sometimes it will drop to around 950. I have done a lync/sync per service manual, so I'm pretty sure it's not butterfly's open. Putting a timing light on...

    94 Ocean Runner 225 Shift Interrupt Switch Not Engaging

    Thank you fazbullet. So would replacing this part, Evinrude/Johnson part # 331737, be the most likely resolution? Here's a pic of that arm (again, not mine): Our host has these available but without a picture, and I don't necessarily see a spot weld on this arm. The specific symptom I'm...

    94 Ocean Runner 225 Shift Interrupt Switch Not Engaging

    I've found references to other people having this problem, but no solution. Engine is '94 Ocean Runner 225. My shift interrupt switch is not engaging. If I push the spring loaded part of the switch down with engine running, I can hear the engine stumble (presumably the starboard bank of...

    '94 Ocean Runner 225 Fuel Delivery Issues

    I am trying to keep my '94 Ocean Runner 225 running reliably. I rebuilt the carbs last summer and ever since then I've been fighting fuel mixture / delivery issues, and it's been driving me crazy trying to get this resolved. I think I've made some progress today, and I seem to have a strong...

    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Mixture Adjustment and Recirculation System Questions

    You mean here (in the red circles)? Is that a notorious point of vacuum leak? Or is that to make sure that plate is seated uniformly?

    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Mixture Adjustment and Recirculation System Questions

    More info. This finally caught my eye. It looks like the starboard temp switch connection is bollocksed up. I tried to create a temporary connection to see if that made a difference, and it was hard to tell. Starting the motor today it definitely wanted to stall a few times at idle. Again...

    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Mixture Adjustment and Recirculation System Questions

    In response to faztbullet, that looks like my carb setup, but here's what it looks like with the silencer on: idle AIR adjustment (CCW Lean, CW Rich). So if that's not what I'm supposed to be adjusting, what should I be doing? Rwbutler: no, I really didn't unfortunately. I mean I sprayed...

    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Mixture Adjustment and Recirculation System Questions

    I've got a '94 Ocean Runner 225 (J225TXERK) that I'm trying to keep running. About a month ago I rebuilt the carbs for no particular reason except that I thought it would be good maintenance, and idle has been a bit rough at times, like sometimes it's touch and go coming in to dock (I've...

    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Speed Screw - Missing?

    Here's another closeup. Red arrow points to the end of rod. No screw in the end of that rod, although I can see threads. Yellow arrow points to the cam follower roller. Does this help?

    Ocean Runner 225 Idle Speed Screw - Missing?

    Finally got an actual OEM Service Manual and just got done rebuilding and cleaning the carbs and cleaning throttle bodies. I'm trying to follow the lync 'n sync procedures in the manual, and I'm looking for the idle speed screw. Is it SUPPOSED to be where I've circled in red below? I've done...

    Johnson 225 Oil Warning Troubleshooting

    Hi All, Trying to keep my late father-in-law's Grady White with '94 Johnson Ocean Runner 225 running well. Generally the engine runs pretty well and strong, but I've got a couple of issues I'd like help diagnosing and resolving. The main one right now is that the oil warning on the VRO...
