Hello.<br />I picked up this 1973 65 horse 3 cylinder Johnson.<br />It starts fine, goes up to wot just fine and I can run it there for a while. However,when I idle it down and then throttle it up again,it does not reach the same rpm's,and stays at a much lower rpm.What could this be??<br />Thanks for your answers and opinions.<br />Rolmops.

Re: power problems

How long do you idle around for?<br /><br />You might be fouling the plugs up.<br /><br />TMD
