Greetings and salutations to all. I have an all original 1975 johnson 85 on a 16 pontoon (85ESL75 E). I bought it this spring, drove it around the lake with amazing ease and ran flawlessly. I had to do some minor controller repair (new ignition switch) didnt run it for a couple of months, and now i have issues. It takes for ever to get into forward gear and once there it leaves no room for throttle and slows at the top of the throttle. Also it runs roughly. I have replaced the plugs and all are firing. I hope i am posting in the correct forum. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
