1996 Johnson 200HP Limited

[wkshuey]

Does anyone have any knowledge of this motor? I am thinking of buying one of these to replace my 1995 200HP Venom, which blew and put a hole through the block.
The compression on the 200HP Limited is 102, 102, 106, 106, 106, and 108psi. I've heard that as long as the psi's are within 7 to 10 pounds of one another they should be good to go. Does this sound reasonable? Any info on this motor would be greatly appreciated! I would love to upgrade to an E-TEC, but finances forbid that at this time. Thanks in advance for any help.

Basically the same motor as the '95.

However, there are some differences that may interest you.
1. The wiring harness is different. The 95 has the big round red plug, the '96 has the MWS deutsch connectors for harness to engine hookup. This may require you to get new control harness wiring.
2. The '96 has adjustable idle mixture screws. The '95 has fixed jets. '96 is a better design.
