    2000 50hp Johnson 2 Stroke will idle, then die when put in gear and will not start again

    Well figured out the problem. The CDI box or whatever it is called that hooks up to the coil to then send the spark to the plugs was apparently bad from the start. So I replaced that and took it for an hour and a half run last night and it worked good. That was the second new part that I have...

    2000 50hp Johnson 2 Stroke will idle, then die when put in gear and will not start again

    I will have to put it in the water and check that then. What would be the fix or thing to look for if it is dropping spark under a load? Also just found out the other day once it is idling and I put it in gear and it dies it is tough to get started again after a couple times. Not sure if that...

A guy that has worked at a boat shop in the past did the work on that. Red lever is in the right position although I tried both positions...

    2000 50hp Johnson 2 Stroke will idle, then die when put in gear and will not start again

    I’ve got a 2000 Johnson 50 horse (J50PLSSM). I just removed the vro pump and put in a regular fuel pump that mounts to the side on the motor. I also replaced all fuel lines, new fuel filters, new CDI box, new spark plugs and a new carb kit and cleaned the carbs. Before it wouldn’t run for more...
