Author Topic:   Good Source for Used Parts for OMC Engine

gobama posted 12-14-2011 12:55 PM ET (US)
I am looking for a Power Pack for a 2001 Johnson 90 two-cycle outboard engine part number 765386. The engine is missing at 4,000 to 5,000-RPM, but [the engine runs] fine at low RPM. Mechanic says [the cause of the problem is] either the Power Pack or the [optical] timing [device]. [Tell me of a] good source for used parts.

That and the OIS optical system I would NOT buy used. They have a limited life so you might get 1 hour or 10 years, not worth the gamble for a few Quid.

By the way the part number is 765386.

If you don't have a relationship with a local dealer, try http://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_search.php?part_num=765386& x=21&y=6
Usually pretty good prices and availability.

Kinda have to agree with Tohsgib on this one unless the parts you are looking for are like anvils, and you can not screw them up or get a bad one...

Thanks for clarification.
OMC Power Packs are not that expensive. I think an new OEM part is under $300. Used electrical components usually come with a history of malfunctions--that is why they're used. I never heard of anyone replacing a Power Pack that was operating perfectly. Most people replace their Power Pack when it starts to act up.
I have a used Power Pack. It is good for an emergency spare. It drops a cylinder now and then when it gets warm. I suspect that sort of behavior will be typical for used Power Packs.

That's exactly what's happenning with mine! Gets warm and drops a cylinder. What company has the best prices on Johnson parts?

Ebay is a great source for outboard engine parts, new and used. Usually you can find anything you need.
Do a search for "Johnson #765386" and you will find 2 new ones, for $250 each.

I, would find out for sure which one it is before I would be buying parts. There should be a test your mechanic could do to isolate the bad part.

Twin City Outboard is famous for having just about every part ever made.

Boats.net for old parts, OMC and Yamaha

FYI the best price I've found in the country on a new power pack was at boats.net By the way I'm not "G. Obama." My user name is Go Bama as in Roll Tide!
Thanks for the replies and Merry Christmas.

Sorry for the confusion, I think President Obama went to Harvard, not University of Alabama, However Alabama is my favorite team in the SE Conference. I love it when they beat Florida.

Read post #2.
Also look to see if Sierra makes them now, should be much cheaper than OEM.
