    '85 90hp johnson mid-high speed bog

    I was holding off making a post as long as possible but I feel I am stuck and could use some guidance. This may be a long story so bear with me... Back in March is when I first saw signs of the issue. I ran 15 miles (one way) to fish some perch. On the way there and back I could hear what I...

    74 15hp johnson throttle adjustment & water pump.

    My first question is, is there a way to adjust the throttle on this motor? There is about an inch or two of play in the twist before the motor starts to rev up. (ill try to word this so its not too confusing)... When the throttle is on the slowest it can go (turn the throttle to slowest speed) I...
