Location: Suburban Chicago | My 2-stroke 90HP 1996 Johnson has developed a bad noise. I'm not a mechanic but a it has a heavy click or knock. If it was a four stoke I'd say it's like noisy lifter click, tied to RPM. I've not experienced any lack of power (yet). If I was guessing I'd say it's piston slap, connecting rod type noise or maybe something in the lower unit. Over two days fishing this weekend it got worse.
I need a mechanic quick. I've used Berquist in Lake In The Hills in the past. As far as I know they are Johnson/Evinrude service for the region. Problem is they are ALWAYS backed up a couple weeks before they even LOOK at the boat.
Any recommendations on a mechanic or a shop? If this needs real work I'd like it COMPLETED within the three weeks or so.
