Hello everyone I'm activated
 

I'm activated got the email today. just over a week ago I bought my first V20. and of course the first time I took it out it broke down. I have a good spark and gas haven't got too much into it. have pictures but haven't had time to post:sun:

Welcome to the site! Whatcha got?

Welcome Shurlock!

Sorry to hear you broke down, happens to everyone eventually. Post up what year/model/engine you have and I'm sure some on here will be able to help you get it figured out.

I have a 1987 v20 cuddy cabin with a 140 horsepower Johnson

Nice V! A few here are very knowledgeable about those Johnny Rude engines.

wish I could put a bigger motor than 140 horsepower but just don't have the money right now so I guess I better get it running.

what year model is your 140

You say you broke down. I'm assuming that you mean the engine stopped working properly.

Did it stop completely or did it just start running ragged?

How old is the gas you're running in it?

Did you try spraying starting fluid in it? If you did, what happened?

Have you pulled any of the plugs? If so what do they look like?

Sorry you had a bad experience. As said before, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Welcome to the site though. Looking forward to more pics and the eventual fix of your boat.

Welcome to the site!
