I have recently purchased a 1999 Triton Tr18 with a 1999 Johnson 150, Upon carrying it to the lake today I discovered that after in the wter it develops somewhat of a rough idle and seems to be as though the carbs are loading up.
I am new to the outboard engine and really don,t know where to start or if I should just carry it to someone to have it looked at but I am hoping that it is something simple that I can take care of myself.
By the way the VRO is still hooked up.
One other problem that I am having is that the steering is extremely difficult to turn whether sitting on the trailer in the driveway or in the water. Any suggestions would be helpful.
It has dual cable steering and something that I thought about that may be the problem is that a jack plate was installed on the boat and the cables were not replaced, would this make the cables to short and in turn place the steering in a bind??
Thanks in advance for the help!
