I have a Johnson 1998 3 cylinder 35hp that has a rough idle. It starts fantastic every time. I have had it on the water 2 times since I purchased it. First run was ok only had a little serge in the throttle at speed but generally was fine running it at different speeds for about 20 mins.
Secon time out it started*great, put it in gear at low speed for about 5 mins then the over heat alarm came on, water was pumping fine and I turned the motor off. I*started it again fine and the heat light stayed off with no alarm, I gave a few throttle squirts and was ok but a surge in the*power happend a couple of times but was ok. I ran at low*throttle for about 10 mins and was fine, I turned the motor off for about 10 mins then*started it again, it was running rough and*had an air backfire then stalling, then tried it again, it started and I put it in gear to take off and had no power then it stalled. It wouldnt start again.
I got it home on the hose and it starts fine the next day..
I Still have the Oil tank on it and*my mechanic told me*to run the*petrol tank*mixture *at 50/1 but mark the oil tank with a black texter to see if the level has moved.
If anyone could help befor I take it to the Mechanic that would be fintastic.
