I ran into an interesting pro
I ran into an interesting problem today on the water. I've just gotten finished fixing the manual starter on my 15 HP Johnson engine and the starter lock kicked in. I know that this feature was designed to prevent the engine from starting in situations where the engine can "get away" from you or maybe damage the gears or pwerhead such as starting at WOT or at an advanced throttle position in reverse. However I checked to verify that neither of these conditions existed at the time. Any ideas as to what else might be causing the problem. It spontaneously solved itself later in the day. Very weird. Any help is much appreciated.
