I have a 1988 Johnson GT 150 Outboard and that i recently bought with a chaparral. today i took it out for the third time this year. (the previous two times it ran flawless)
We put the boat in the water and let it warm up as i usually do and then headed out. get past the no wake zone and ease onto the throttle we get running good and then all of a sudden its kind of a little bit of a pop and the engine sounded like it was working really hard and then shut off.
it took a few minutes but the engine started back up and was vibrating the whole boat and it took forever to get it back to the ramp. it sounded like metal was hitting metal in the engine (the sound came and went) but the boat was shaking really bad the whole time
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! thank you
