[QUOTE="natestep, post: 176519, member: 4614"] I am looking to buy a boat. It has what I believe to be a 1988 Johnson 40hp VRO. The guy said that he took the boat out and it was running fine. All of a sudden the motor just shut off. He said the motor would turn over but not start. He took the cowl off and saw a small crack on the right side of the intake. I am an automotive mechanic and realize this is probably a vaccum issue. What I dont know is what would have cause this crack. It is about a half inch long on the upper intake runner on the right side of the engine when looking at it from the front. The boat has been sitting for about five years. Any help would be much appriciated. I dont want to make a mistake buying this boat if im gonna hafta replace a power head. [/QUOTE]
