1990 johnson 200 (86 center console v20)

has new electric tilt motor.

motor makes the right sound but nothing happens.

fluid was low...i added some..then lowered and raised the engine manually and added more until full.

as i filled with fluid...the engine would lock itself in position..and i have to
loosen the pressure release screw so it will move manually.

i don't understand why the motor will not tilt the engine...i have fluid..motor works.

i will try a johnson repair forum also.

i suspect the new tilt motor is not engaging the hydraulics...

Am i right that my engine stuck at full tilt is normal after filling with fluid until
i loosen the pressure release valve?

i'm assuming once the pressure is released, the engine lowered, all i should have to do is engage the tilt motor and it should work.

not ready to give up DIY yet.
 
If the pressure release scre is closed, the rams should stay in place unless you either release the pressure or engage the trim motor. Sounds to me like you need to block it all the way up and try and get the trim motor off and see if the plastic drive sleeve is there. I know mine has a sleeve in it that was broken on my old trim unit.
 
This pic is what i see right after disconnecting the tilt motor.
It looks to me that the drive coupling is missing...so my tilt motor
runs and sounds good but just spins uselessly...looks like the
other hole is missing a part too.

i have an OMC parts catalog with exploded view i will use it to order parts.

Thefermanator nailed it.

Looks like your missing the entire pump assembly. It comes out once you remove the trim motor. Maybe somebody here has one that is leaking and could part with the pump and coupler.
 
thats the oil pump filter your seeing thats sitting on top of the oil pump assembly.
The only items i see missing are the drive coupling and ball and a socket head screw.

i put an allen wrench in the center hole the tilt motor is supposed to attach to...and as i turned it the other hole turned also nice and smooth.
 
You may or may not like this !!

I have number of ideas for you as for the parts Catalog I can pdf it to you, also you can simply go to http://www.ishopmarine.com/ishop/js...upFldr=supplier-100-005-EJwww.ishopmarine.com
Note sure to copy and paste the entire link it shows your part listed a 258.00 dollars WOW
Or go to ishopmarine.com and scroll down and follow the "suppliers parts store" and click on Evinrude-Johnson Store then in the product line screen click on evinrude or johnson and follow it to your year etc (Note this site is tricky) where you select your enigine and you have access to the original OMC catalog with detail listing of all parts/number and price , You can also buy from them also. If you still need a PDF of the view send me an email and consider it done .
Also I have two units you can use , Question is am I selling? I was in the process of rebuilding one the other is in excellent condition which is my spare !! , But we all have a price :) or can trade for something ?
 
thats $258 for part 71.....look carefully at the pic i do have part 71.

it's 73,74 and 75 i need..grand total is $28.00.

but you did scare the hell out of me Lol.

excellent parts link with prices thank you i will use it.
