Picked up a used boat for cheap and it has a johnson 35 on it. Trying to get it running.
It has been sitting for a "while" Compression is 100/105 cold. Just rebuilt the carb, it actually looked pretty good.
New gas tank, new gas lines and fittings
I can get the motor to start but it either dies on its own in just a few seconds or it will die when I try and apply gas. The fuel bulb isn't staying real hard, after it starts, I can get maybe a half a squeeze before it gets hard again. Then I can choke it, pull it once. Push the choke back in and pull one more time and it will generally fire. Then die. I did get it to rev up once before I quit for the day......
I'm thinking fuel pump but wanted to run it thru the forum before heading that way.
Model # J35RLCIG
Serial # E5542443
Thanks much!
