Subject: Help...Johnson V4, 140 hp problem
From: "Nigel Rudgewick-Brown"


This may be of use.
I had a 2 cylinder Johnson that would do the opposite (run on 1 until the
second came on after 20 minutes). It was a broken coil winding that made
contact when hot. Maybe yours makes contact when cold?

Hi All,

I have the above engine and have a small problem with it and I hope someone
can offer advice. This is a V4 configuration engine and runs fine for about
20 minutes from cold and then looses power on one of the cylinders and
continues to run on three cylinders

Is it possible it's only running on two, I think there may be an override that
kills two cylinders if it overheats.
