Help. I just purchased a 1994 boat with a 94 120 johnson. The guy only used the boat once the past 2 years and the gas was old. I didn't know the gas was old and ran the boat. It wouldn't take a load. I think the carb is all varnished up. It ran ok from time to time, but would bogg down most of the time. Is there anything I can do? Or does a professional have to look at this?

Re: bad gas

Get a manual and a carb rebuild kit. Strip it down, clean it out, replace the gaskets, and re-install.<br />Replace the gas line and flush out the old gas.
