I have 1985 johnson 15 hp , I have had in shop they rebuilt the carburator it ran but not good. it sat all winter ,was going to take it out last weekend ,put it in 55gal barrel with water I notice that the throttle is real hard to turn .it started but will only run for about 15 seconds checked fuel pump .its clean .when it does start you have to have it at full throttle ,using the choke seems to do nothing ,can't figure out why throttle is so hard to work .bought a manual it is SELOC for 1971-89 there is no stuff in it about throttle linkage or adjusting it.
