I have a 83-84 VRO 40hp johnson that cranks ok idles with a popping or missing when you rev it up it it will not pop also I see a little fuel leaking out of the electric choke solinoid. It also after reving it stays at a really high idle and will no return. Then it will runaway after switch is turned off and fuel pulled. Any ideas?:confused:

welcome. sounds like you need to replace the primer solenoid. watch ebay for one. either that or you timing is off.
