It should be the upper inlet.

Thanks.

Comment on 94 model 140 hp Johnson outboard boat motor problem starting?? by jtexas

Been like this since you got it?

Most common cause of hard cold start: operator error.

Assuming the primer solenoid described above is operational:

Squeeze primer bulb until firm, open tank vent, lift hi-idle lever full up (unless equipped with "fast-start" feature), push key in and hold it in while turning over to "start" until engine catches.

If she starts to die, punch the key in again just for an instant.

Comment on 1973 85hp johnson outboard,how to refill the lower unit and what kind of oil and how much oil? by threedogs333

remove both screws, top and bottom, get a cheap squeezie sauce bottle for a dollar from cheap shop, fill with oil and squeeze into bottom hole, fill bottle and do again place finger over bottom hole to prevent oil draining out bottom hole whilst refilling bottle, when oil comes out of top hole, quickly replace bottom screw, then top up oil level from top hole, replace top screw tighten both screws and check for leaks, any good quality outboard gear box oil will do, just ask at your boat shop for best recommendation. just check old oil for metal shavings or water as this would indicate possible problems later on. it would not hurt to purchase extra oil and flush out old oil from top to bottom first. i always do this when i replace and it is surprising how much of the old oil stays in there even after it has been allowed to drain for two hours.

To refill the lower unit pump the oil in through the bottom hole untill it comes out the top hole. Replace the top screw first then replace the lower screw. Use a premium grade of outboard lower unit lube.
