I have a 1992 johnson tracker 60, i need some suggestions on whatthe problem may be. Ok so when im out i can only do wot for about 5minutes then the motor will slow to around 5mph and surge,if i turn it off and start it up it goes fine for another 5 minutes then surges again.if i do about quarter throttle its fine but any more it will surge unill i restart it. I do premix the gas to 50:1 and the vro is gone . Any ideas?

Re: 92 johnson 60 help

Is the gas tank vent open? If it is closed, you are pulling a vacuum inside the tank. Waiting a few minutes or running it slow allows a little air to leak in as you go.

I've also heard of potential temperature issues with the ignition system, but I don't have specific information to help here.

Good luck!
