Motor ? 4.5 Johnson Outboard
Model ? J5RHCNR
Serial # C8142952
I believe it?s a 1985
Hi everyone, relatively new to the forum, but I have a question regarding my 4.5 Johnson. I just recently purchased it, it seemed to be a good deal and of course, myself not knowing much about them, I purchased it. Anyway, enough of my lack of knowledge. I was able to take it out and it starts with no problems.
Here is the problem, I was going along and I was pretty impressed with it. It was doing 7.5 mph, then within 10 mins. it slowed down to 4.5 mph. I thought the cable might be stuck or something, but that is not the case. Fresh fuel and new plug.
I was wondering if any of you had any ideas what could have caused it to run flawlessly for 10 min. then suddenly go to half the power.
Thanks in advance.
