I just took ownership of a 1987 Sylvan Pontoon, 40hp Johnson VRO outboard. It had been sitting 2 years...
Cleaned out gas tank, refilled with fresh 93 octane.
New Plugs
New Battery
Pulled the carbs drained and sprayed clean, nothing more. Reinstalled.
Heres my issue: With the Manual Primer lever I can start it, but then it dies out. Over and over again, its sounding a ton better than when I started working on it. But it just keeps dieing out.
Any suggestions would be nice as I have only worked on 25hp, and 75hp, Johnsons in the past, and they just simply ran good...
Sold the Woody for something a little less time consuming,
