Re: Johnson 90 will not go over 2200 rpm at wot in the water after complete overhaul

Sorry for bringing back to life an otherwise dead thread, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Daselbee. I had a very similar issue as described above after doing some service on the engine. I couldve _sworn_ I had marked cyls #2 and #4 properly but I mustve somehow switched them. I have been pulling my hair out for days wondering WHY my engine is backfiring intermittently. I marked my fly wheel and found #2 and #4 were firing at the wrong time. Swapped them over and VOILA, all is working as it should!!! Thanks very VERY much!! :)
