I have a '98 Johnson 25hp 3-cyllinder 2-stroke which up until now has been fine. However, when I put it away for storage last season, the key switch was left on, probably because I ran the gas out of the carbs and then omitted to switch it off.
The battery went flat of course since there is a draw for the voltmeter and the monitor guage etc. So my question is, was this likely to have "cooked" any of the electrics or electronics in the engine?
The engine has been running strangely since, starting right up just fine but then missing shortly afterwards. I've researched some of the likey causes of the rough running and will start another thread about that but it would help to know if something was damaged by my mistake. Thanks.
