    Help please! 1988 Johnson outboard lack of power and stalls.

    I will be getting the manuals soon. I honestly felt the same way. Was expecting to find dirt or varnish in the carbs. I found nothing and they were as clean as a whistle. All the passages and jets were clear. I soaked in berryman dip for a couple of days. Only thing I didn't do was...

    Yes I need a manual. Ok yes the plastic seems fine and there is a plastic covering on it that turned clear after the carb cleaning. The clear covering looks like someone cut a small piece of clear hose and cut it to put it over the black hard plastic piece.

    Before I did the vro delete the motor had a hard time idling but was manageable. Yes pumping the primer bulb helped the performance of the motor and kept it running. After the delete the motor doesn't seem to stall out while driving but has no low to mid range power. It also wants the choke...

    Thanks racerone. I will check this when I get it out of the water. I definitely put the nozzle gasket on that sit on the center of the float bowl. And the float bowl gasket only goes on one way.

    Thanks, I will definitely check when I get the boat out of the water in a few weeks. Is it possible to put a screwdriver in cylinder 1 and bring the piston to tdc and see where the timing mark lines up.
