So i have a 1998 Johnson 90hp optical (J90elecm) this "skip" started last season, i put it away for the winter, had the dealer service it in the spring. they thought that the carbs needed rebuilding so they tore them down, rebuilt them. I still have this skipping. they say that it will be a week before they can even take another guess at this.. it starts and idles. SOMETIMES it will "sneeze" at low rpms and stall, not too often though.
I will prime the ball, (sometimes it never gets hard, other times it does) start the boat.. let it idle for a few mins... take off... runs good for a couple mins then after about 4-5 mins of running it will "skip" like the video shows. does it a lot more the higher rpm your going.... if im idling around or going under 3/4k it will run fine for a WHILE.
Carbs rebuilt
New cam rollers
new racor filter
new plugs
pennzoil 2 stroke used
no water in fuel (checked)
premix unit at 50-1
See the video and give me an idea where to go next.. is this maybe a "lean sneeze" or something else maybe?
