Motor Help Please (I want to fish)
Message:
I have a Johnson VRO 60HP motor it starts fine and idles but once I idle up or put into gear and give it some gas it just dies. Then it is a pain to start and keep it running, it will some times run all out for about 3 min before it dies. But if it is started and put in gear and kept at a low RPM (1400 RPM) it will run all day.
Any sugestions? I changed the fuel filter, still no change.

My friend had the same problem with his Johnson 150horse (Late 80's built) a couple of years ago. We took apart the carbs bought rebuild kits and rebuilt them and never had another problem. I am not saying that is what is wrong with yours but it may be a starting point for you.

I have 3 carbs, I might try to tackle the rebuild and I have the service manual.
