Another deal deal has gone south for me as the local Johnson guru is swamped
with work and can't look at my new/used motor. I picked up a 1986 100hp
Johnson V4 J100WTCDR I've ordered the books and have some knowledge from
working on an old Mercury 850E that died last years at a tender 31 years
old.

The Johnson guru was adamant about taking out the oil injection and
premixing the fuel oil which isn't a problem for me after doing it so many
years with the old Mercury. I've found what looks like the solution for the
problem with a OMC fuel pump #8402 which is suggested at
http://outboardparts.com/omc/mall/dynamic-results2.asp is there anything
else that needs to be done to take out the VRO system such as the oil level
sensor?

As far as I know the carbs need to be rebuilt, replace the fuel pump with or
without the VRO, change out the thermostats and install a new water pump.
Along with the books I ordered I should be able to pull this off under $500
with $300 invested in the motor so far.

Thanks
Mick
