    V4 115hp '79 sputters and dies.

    I was getting my 1979 Johnson V4 115 hp back in shape for the summer a few weeks ago and had it running on muffs in the driveway when the sound of the engine noticeably changed and it died. I tried to crank it back up and it sputtered for 1 or 2 seconds, then died. I have worked on it every few...

It looks like the spring in the arm just isn't pushing it...

    Low RPM's on '79 Johnson 115hp

    I bought a '79 115hp Johnson from a guy and have taken it out a few times but the motor has yet to get over 2,500 rpm's. When I open up the throttle with the warm up lever with the muffs on it gets higher, maybe 3,800 or so, but starts to run rough. The carbs are recently rebuilt. I will do a...
