2003 Johnson 90Hp j90plstc 2 stroke (V4)
My engine started something new? The engine will not run correctly at low idle. once warmed up runs kinda okay but when just starting it stalls a lot until I prime the bulb. it gets really bad when I shift into gear it boggs and then stalls only at low speed. once I get it to pass the low speed it runs fine. here are some of the issues that I think are causing the problems 1)the primer bulb between the gas tank (built in 18 gallon tank) will not stay hard ( I replaced the fuel line and bulb between the tank and the fuel filter) 2) the timing sensor does not move smoothly. that is all I can think of I don't think it has anything to do with the carbs although I could be incorrect.
the Johnson dealer in my area said it is the fuel pump with out looking at it and they want 500 dollars
thanks for any help
