Johnson 90hp DOES NOT HAVE VRO. I mix the fuel myself. I just had ignition system mostly redone. new spark plugs, new power packs, new starter, new wiring. carbs have been cleaned and float set properly.
The boat has been running solid at WOT. Tonight while riding it all of sudden just bogged down hard and there was no recovery. It did NOT stall. It is idling fine and fast idling fine. I can run the throttle up but it just sounds like it's working so hard for naught.
I have bypassed any filters and gone straight from fuel tank to engine. It still bogs down.
A couple things to note:
Positive:
It cranks right up
Was running great no problem
idles fine and can go mid throttle
Negative:
Bogs on WOT
When I came to boat tonight there was some obvious fuel had been slowly leaking from somewhere
When I lower the engine down into the water there is a rainbow
thanks for the ideas.
