    Unhappy 2003 johnson starves for fuel

    Is there anybody that can fix a 150hp 2003 johnson with ois ignition. Starts fine runs good. Stop and fish a for an hour. Restart and it starves for fuel at low rpm. Once you get going it runs fine.

    Default Re: 2003 johnson starves for fuel

    I have a similar issue with my '98 Johnny 150HP. I am not sure it is starving for fuel upon restart however.

    I advance the throttle in neutral, start it up and let her run a minute, before I put it in gear. That seems to solve it.

    BTW - This just started happening. When I go tit three years ago, it ran perfect all the time. My guess is carbs are out of adjustment or dirty.
