" I have an '85 Johnson 12
" I have an '85 Johnson 120HP I apologize because I asked this (?) once before, but there is one point that I am vague on. My trim works fine, but I hear air bubbles in my trim system when I use the trim, so I want to correctly bleed the power trim system:
In order to get the air out, the OMC shop manual says I am supposed to run the trim up and down for at least 5 cycles ( up and down ). Then, open the screw and fill the reservoir till it is level w/ the ' hole '. Then seal her up. Is this correct ? It seems to me that the screw should be unscrewed a bit first ( not removed ) and then trim it 5 x or more to allow the air to escape - then fill it w/ fluid ? ( same idea as bleeding the brakes at each wheel cylinder of a car )
What is the correct procedure ? I did try it ' the shop manual way ' and still have air in the system. "
