Which Johnson? I have 5 of them :D:D.

Boat motors are going to break down weather we like it or not ;). Some are liable to break down due to lack of maintenance, some are liable to break down due to an original part giving out etc etc.

Re: what's wrong with your johnson?

the Johnson and Evinrude, has more motors running, than any other brand. it is not uncommon, to see a 50 year old J/E running is not unusual. if you notice the total number of post in the engine forums, J/E are double the other, the reason they have been around nearly 100 years. where Mercury only goes back to the 1950's.
