My 40 hp Johnson was running when i got it, but i didn't run it for a while. I tried to start it but it would not even crank. I tried new gas, 93 oct, no ethanol. I tried to take off carbs and clean them (I really don't know what I'm doing there, but I think i put all the parts back). I finally got the engine to crank with every turn of the key, but it will not run. It starts and it may run for a few seconds, then it dies. Fuel filter cleaned.
Very frustrating. Possibly could have messed something up when I removed the carbs and cleaned them, but it does start and run well...for a few seconds. I can get 20-30 seconds at best.
Any suggestions?
