Hi,
I have a 35hp Johnson thats acting up on me. When starting the engine it starts normally but needs more throttle not to die on me. I have done a carb restauration and when it comes to the low speed circuit it is fully operational.

Hi,
I purchased a cheap boat yesterday with a Belgian made Johnsson 1987 15HP (BJ15BACUD) manual pull engine attached to it.
