Location: Van Buren, Indiana | Thanks guys for all the info. I checked the plugs and it does look like the bottom plug may not be firing well, it was not black like the other two, those will get changed real quick! Fuel filter was fine. Steve I did not have time to look for the air valve for the carbs. My '05 Johnson on my '04 180 Lowe Stinger, had the breather that came off with the rubber straps, this one unscrews. I will look at it this weekend. Your right this motor when it's running right is a good motor. It's on a '87 Arrowglass Runabout, its a little underpowered, but it will plane it fairly quick. This boat is growing on me, didn't think would like it at first, but it is a great multi species rig.
And it will store 9 plus footers down the side out of the way. If I still like it in a couple of years, will probably repower with a rebuilt '05 Johnson/Eveinrude 2-stroke from Outboard exchange. I just love the torque of the '05 Johnson 2-strokes!
Thanks Again!
(p.s. Steve, I may have to put a 6'' Hydro-Dynamics on this thing and sqeeze out all I can just for fun!) |
