What year was your V20? Where are you located? Any pics? -Svence

Is anyone else confused by Step 2 on their webpage...what does a sawsall have to do with removing the carb...??? -Svence

Johnson 175 Motor starts and runs great when cold, she fires up and idles pretty damn smooth considering her vintage. Problem is after she has been running a while she hates to idle. Example, ran about an hour Saturday and when I got to the marina she stalls out and runs rough when pulling...

Gut everything that is not engine harness related and do it at the same time, you will be kicking yourself for not replacing one wire a year from now. Once gutted, run a 8 or 10 awg hot and ground up to a distribution panel in the console, then power everything from that. Also add a new...

No trailer and it looks like something is messed up with the windshield. Take a look at the center panel, doesn't sit level in any of the pics. -Svence

I don't think I have any leaks as the ball gets hard as a rock once the carbs fill up, but you never know. I will be checking it this week. Thanks. -Svence

I will take a look. How did you spot the leak in the first place? Was it just dripping while in use? -Svence

Well I replaced the timing wheel and she runs a hell of a lot better, go figure ;) I am still having an issue with fuel delivery, under hard acceleration she bogs before hauling ***, and if I really hammer it down (idle to WOT fast) she sometimes stalls out. I am thinking it is either the...

That's what I was hoping for. Going to pop out the remnants of the old one tonight and swap in the new one. We'll see what happens. I am just hoping it didn't screw up the timing light/eye while it was spinning around all busted up. -Svence

Attached a pic of the problem. Was running in today and the motor just cut out, after an hour of random starts, stalls, dead batteries, etc I noticed the timing wheel was toast. Not sure how that happened but I am sure this may explain some of the other idle issues and rough start problems I...

Nipper you are right, no rod boxes in the sides...never seen that before. I like the clean look. -Svence

No affiliation with the seller, just think he makes some pretty sweet stuff and the prices aren't bad either. If you compare prices to SSI he is usually a heck of a lot cheaper. Talk a look. http://www.thehulltruth.com/fishing-miscellaneous-items/297006-seasnell-products-prices.html -Svence

Ferm- I just picked up a 2000 Johnson 150 with a blown head, looks like water got in the cylinders. I plan on swapping out the tilt trim, cowling, and some other odds and ends. The power packs should be the same, do I have to do anything after putting the new one on? -Svence

Ferm- I will take a look at the carbs this weekend and see what I find. Quick Q, what's the difference between the 150 carbs and the 175's? I just found another 98 (150 HP though) on CL for $500, thinking about grabbing it for the Lower Unit and Tilt Trim alone and parting out the rest. Any...

Similar to Carl's problem but I didn't want to hi jack his thread. 98 Johnson 175 2 stroke, carbed that won't idle in the water. On the ear muffs it has no problem idling around 1000 rpms but in the water she stalls out. It also has a weird issue with throttling up. When I go to throttle her...

Looks like it's in good condition, at least in the photo. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/boa/1847979976.html -Svence

Mack- Thanks for the offer but I think I am good for now. The trim fluid coming out was probably 50/50 oil/water so I am sure the valve is jammed up. As far as bleeding it, I did as you described, that's how I found the problem. If I stop right at the top I am fine, keep on going to fill the...

Trim motor continues to run, just no movement. -Svence
