I just bought a 1978 johnson 9.9 outboard and it starts and runs great. I have had great luck before on this forum and you guys are awesome!! I appreciate every bit of your knowledge of these outboards! Engine is Pull start. I ran it out on a 12 ft jon boat and runs 5.1 mph gps and I am about half throttle. As i open the throttle from there it bogs real bad and will die unless I lower the throttle back to half or less. It seems to run wide open in neutral if I open throttle but not with in forward gear. I am confused as to whether it is carb, fuel line, ignition maybe....seems to run good down low. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I just wanna fish!
