Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. Just got a 15 HP 1992 Johnson J15RENM Motor and it is running rough. It will start once and run, then not start again for an hour or so. It will only initially start with the choke on, and primed. I have changed all the plugs, it's getting spark, fuel, has compression, etc. We manually put fuel in and its sucking down the fuel so we are unsure why its not starting after the initial start up. Kill switch and everything have checked out okay as well.
We are at a loss and about to take it to a local boat shop. Also, where is the pee hole on this thing? Is it the black tube, as seen in the pic below? If so, no water is coming out of that either (and no, we have not been running it like that). Please, anyone, just give me an idea. I am stumped. Thanks.
