Not sure how to describe what happened,but yesterday evening while doing
some boating at a local reservoir,my motor started bogging down just after making a turn. I was not in any weedy area so the thought of weeds fouling the prop would not apply in this situation. It ran fine just prior to making my
turn to head back to the ramp,...but after making the turn,it just would not
get the boat on plane at all. I have a 9.5 HP Johnson on a Sea Nymph 14R
boat. Last time out,I made an adjustment on the motor that at least allowed the motor to get the boat just barely on plane(I set the slow speed adjusment at it's lowest point,...it was up high and was making the motor
run too rich). This time out,it done no good at all to adjust the slow speed
setting. Also,I just filled the tank with gas at 50:1. mix. This motor just will
not go. I have not checked it yet,but I am wondering if I could have possibly fouled a plug,...but I am not sure. The fuel line was not kinked,either. It's
a mystery to me as to what has happened.
