Here are some pics. Selling as is, but engine currently running pretty well. Just rebuilt all 6 carbs. Moving to Oregon next Friday so need it to sell. Asking 3k OBO. Local pickup only ( Lady Lake,...

Think I might be at the point that I take it to the boat mechanic and let him fix it up. My time is probably worth much more than I would have paid a mechanic by now lol

Thanks for reply archer. I'll have to google how to remove the carbs and clean em out. If I'm going to take them off I might as well buy the rebuild kits and replace everything.

Took boat out last night and ran the hell out of it at WOT for a solid 45 mins. Motor capped at 4K RPM, but that's a separate problem, most likely one or more of my carbs aren't working right. The...

I
thought so too but for the life of me I cant find it lol.

Hey All,

I have to say that this forum has already saved me a boatload (pun intended) of money by being able to DIY a lot of my boat/engine troubles. Thanks a lot!

So i'm slowly getting...

Have same problem on my boat. Took trim tab apart and it was rusted contacts. I stripped wires back a little and resoldered the contacts and works fine now

How do I get the 2 bottom bolts out? They are under the lip of the engine and I can't get a screw driver to them [emoji58] I'm going to assume there is a special tool or something. Also clearing out...

Literally went from working fine at night to no ignition in the morning. All I did between the 2 was fill up tank with rec 90 fuel, which is my first time using it. Think it's the gas?

Tried jumping. No luck. Engine cranks, slightly catches and then nothing. It's like the spark is there and fuel ignites for a split second but doesn't continue to ignite after the initial catch. Wish...

I'm thinking you may be right about the battery because up until I drained the battery it was firing right up. I'll check the plugs first and then grab a new battery at the auto parts store if plugs...

Ok so I've posted several threads and worked through some minor issues with cracks in the fuel system that have been resolved. I had the engine purring away and decided to run half a can of seafoam...

I like the standard bass pro shops pro series combos actually. They are about 40 to 70 bucks and I've had mine for a good 10 years. They've caught many many bass over the years

I could use some of those

Motor is purring along now! Letting engine sit for 24 hours with the heavy mix and then will run the rest of the mixed gallon through. Thanks guys! There was a ridiculous amount of gunk that came out...

What kind of flooring is that?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm hoping to avoid that for the simple fact that my engine has 6 carbs and I'm not sure I'd survive the stress of rebuilding then all ha

Thanks guys I returned it and got seafoam deep creep to free up the carbs and running seafoam through a gallon of treated fuel tonight. 1 can seafoam to 1 gallon should do it right?

Should my spark plugs and area you screw it into have oil residue? It's a pretty good amount...

Here is what they all pretty much look like ...

Ok great. I have to replace the top cover to that pump. I know it has a spring assembly inside. Any pointers?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So it should be facing straight down then?

According to some other thread posts I found it is possibly a part of the electric choke system? The red part is supposed to point at the solinoid to be in the open position and away from it to be in...

So I found the name of this part and I think it adjusts the amount of fuel that can pass to engine? What is this and how does it work? Reason I ask is because the top cover is cracked and needs to be...

Thanks for the reply! Where can I download a manual? That would be incredibly helpful!

I'm a noob mechanic 😑 And am trying to educate myself to do my own limited work on my 1996 Johnson 150 FS. Been having issues lately and noticed among other things that my spark plugs need replaced....
