Our 1995 28 hp Johnson will lose power then die, but will restart and go again. The thng is the power loss and dying is a regular thing. This motor is not oil injected. Any idea.<br /><br />Walt: did you checkout the sledbabes.com site yet?

Need more info, Babes. What is happening when it loses power? What happens if you pump the primer bulb while this is going on?<br /><br />Red Sky.. . . .<br />JB

O.K. people . Doe's this thing clear itself up if you push the choke button on your key switch ?If it doe's so but only for a short time your carb is plugged and needs cleaning.

No, does not clear up with choke from what the "other half" says. It will just quit, then will restart and will be fine for a while then do it again with no specific reason why.<br /><br />Thank You Walter! for checking out sledbabes.com and the kind words.There wil be some updates coming very, very soon so check back there often!

Now time to look at the primer solenoid. Is that little red handle pointed back towards the engine?
