I have posted a few other questions to the group and all solved my problem...
I have a 69 Johnson 25 hp. Coils/points/condensers changed and all electrical system works great.
Bought a new fuel pump, but it said it was the model for a 15 hp outboard of same year. Seems to be pumping fine though.
Finally got her running and let her run for an hour or so and idles fine with choke open. Obviously I can't throttle up with choke open because runs terrible. Went to close choke and it dies.
Now, it looks like it had a rebuild kit done to it and I also took it all apart and soaked it with carb cleaner, but I am not sure about behind the metal punch-out pieces of the carb.
I was considering buying a new rebuild kit so that I could check behind the metal punch-tabs for gunk.
Is there anything else that I am missing here? Also, could it be low compression? It feels like it sucks air good from the reed plates.
Thanks again...
