New to boating, and definitely new to this Johnson motor. Took it out on the lake the other day and it ran fine, but didnt seem to be putting out the horsepower a 40hp motor should. Granted its 47 years old but there are new plugs and coils, all the lines in the motor were replaced right b4 I bought it. I have heard of sometimes these motors having a gasket or something glued in by the prop. They wear out over time I suspect. Anyone know if this could be the problem or what the problem is? Please help me on how to fix this boat motor. Thanks
