Restoring the 1991 Johnson 40 Horse Jet Motor

 Bryan hoisted up the Outboard Motor and started to strip it.  It's still about 0 cel with a light wind and his hands would get cold and he would have to go warm them by the fire.  The first day he just took apart.  To day he used the Honda Water Pumb and hosed out the fine silt.  
If anyone knows how to tell the year of this Johnson 40 Model VJ40EEIH serial  G 02988700 let us know.  We need to find a parts motor like it. 



The jet needs a new baring. 



The Jet looks like it needs a new sleeve. The 40 - 50  Out Board Jet is from San Leandro, California

    KENNY....Do you have any idea of where we would find an EXHAUST HOUSING OUTER Standard. We checked that link of parts for sale and it says none available. Is there any old Marine Engine Parts Yards.

    There is a shop in Campbell River that deals in used Johnson and Evinrude parts which were made by OMC they will most likely have any thing you need. OMC made that engine for alot of years so lots of years will fit, I have the factory service manual that I could send you if needed. If you go to boats.net they have the engine parts list break down on line so you can get the part numbers and go from there.

    Bryan & Vikki thank you for continuing to share your wonderful adventures. This blog reminds me of eating cracker jacks as a child. A wonderful treat and a surprise in each package. I don't know what I enjoy more. The wonderful scenic pictures and adventures. Bryan's handyman work or the fact that you are living the dream. Do not let the Anti's aggravate you. They are fueled by ignorance and racism. I wish you would ponder the idea of having a film crew follow you next year to document a year in your life. This gift you have should be shared for all who cherish rugged individualism, hunting, trapping and the outdoors. I certainly would by the CD!!!! Shawn from Maine.

    You can see Bryan and Henri finding this motor that was abandoned for 10 years by looking at Feb 20/12 Post called Retrieving Wayde's Johnson Jet Boat Motor. Or look at list on left hand side of blog.

    Just was thinking do you have the controll box,oil tank for the VRO, I see the front cover missing from the carb box, did you fire up the engine up be for pulling it a part?to see if it runs, its easy to test all you need is a 12 volt battery pos. to the solenoid, neg to ground 50:1 fuel mix jump solenoid pos. to small yellow red wire on solenoid engine should turn over and have spark to the plugs.

    Hi Kenny... This motor was stashed too close to the river and was under water up to the bottom carb, at least once. The motor was tied upright. The Inklin river is glacial fed, and full of very fine silt. The crankcase was not flooded, but there was a bit of silt, as fine as talcom powder, in the bottom intake valving. I will try firing it up when it is cleaned and reassembled. I really appreciate your input. Bryan
