I see hundreds of threads of engine stalling problems and most never get resolved. So......
My 1975 Johnson 135 started to stall on me last time out. Starts up and idles fine but when you move the throttle it just dies. It dont bogg, its like you turned off the ignition switch. This will happen 4-6 times and then it will shift and take off like nothing is wrong.
After reading the OMC manual closely, in the troubleshooting section on ignition, one of the things to check if the engine stalls is the IGNITION SWITCH and the NUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH for arcing or shorting.
My switch is 34 years old and I notice when ordering a replacement it says to see and read a " service bulletin" for the key ordering. Anyone know what the bulletin is about.
Also, is there a way to check the switch? The engine has new coils , clean carbs , ect.
When idling, no matter how fast or SLOW I shift.....sometimes it will stall and sometimes it wont.
