i have a johnson J4RSSM 4HP with not more then 40hours on it.
i have used it for about 20 hours since i bought it and now all of a sudden the engine isnt running properly anymore,
To get it to start i need to pull the chocke, make a few attempts, push the choke in and it will start but only in high revolutions, as soon i take down the revs the engine dies, approx. above 3500-4000 revs. the engine does not run in idle speed.
i have the feeling it is not getting enough gas, but when i pull off the hose that leads to the carburator i do get a lot of gas.
i have already checked and cleaned the carburator, replaced the gasoline filter, checked the start plugs and start plug cables.
please help me out guys, im in the Dominican rep and mechanics here will only break more then they will fix.
thanks a lot for any help and have a happy new year everyone
