After running my early 90s 30 hp Johnson 2 stroke at medium to high throttle for a while (20-30 min) it will tend to splutter and stall when coming back to idle speed.
Then any attempt to restart it fails.
I'm thinking that if I kept the revs up I could run it all day. It only happens when...
I finally managed to engage the pin. It took a few hours an endoscope a pick a screwdriver partial disassembly of the carb and a lot of patience! If it had been out of gear it would have been much easier. No damage done as far as I can tell. Thanks for the replies
Yes of course. But it was in...

I'm looking to add a fish finder to my Dads 2022 mako pro skiff 17. I already have the fish finder.
Not finding any way to rout the wiring. Any suggestions welcome. Also from what I can tell the bilge is switch only with no auto. Any advice on how to reach that to swap it out?
Thanks!!
Usually I would but it's in gear and I cant seem to get the shift rod to line up with the pin. I'll wait until I can have someone move the controls while I try to grab the pin. It's in gear because the pin would not let loose when I tried to drop the lower. I moved the control to try to help the...
I put my boat on the water after sitting for probably 20 years.
Ran like a beast but carbs leaked when I ran it so I rebuilt and ran them in a barrel, and all was good. I had already rebuilt the water pump and it seemed to be pumping well but I watched a YouTube video and it pointed out that I...
Well the one I just rebuilt it with was OEM. What was on it when it was leaking probably was too but it was many years old. It's not leaking from the gaskets though.
My carbs are currently off. Just rebuilt them but didn't see anything obviously wrong.
Took the boat out for the first time in since I got it. Sat for probably 10 years if not more.
Idle was rough but I decided to water test it. Yes, I've ran it 20 times or more in a tub for the 2 years I've...
The switch has 2 wires. I was asking the easiest 2 points to connect in case someone had recently done this to their boat. ( pre 96 johnson ignition ) Thinking this might save me a little time and avoid unnecessary work in a tight space. Obviously you havent just installed said switch. You do...
It has 2 wires. Black and white. Basically, then just connect
the white wire to the black/yellow terminal and the other to ground?
This way when I pull the lanyard the black/yellow is getting grounded and closing the circuit but when I insert the lanyard the circuit is re-energized?
I was looking to add a kill switch next to my console mounted ignition.
It has 2 wires, They connect to the black/yellow and black. I do understand that by grounding the black/ yellow the engine stops.
But HOW do I connect the switch ?
Am I splicing the black yellow wire or just connecting the...
