When I started having problems with my 225 johnson, one of the things I did was replace the switch. Everything was ok until I had a bad trip to the coast and the engine would not idle and I spend 3 days trying to get the engine running good enough to fish a little and I turned way too many adjustments trying to keep the engine running. At some point I tried to turn the engine off and the key switch would not shut the engine down or the kill switch. It would idle down and shut off anyway but now I have rebuilt all the carbs, replaced the VRO pump, fuel lines, bulb, etc. and finally got the engine to run again and now the switch or kill switch would not turn the engine off again. I had to shut the fuel off at the tank and let it idle out of gas. Did I get something out of adjustment that caused this or is this new switch defective? Anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance. It is a 2001 model year if that matters.
