"have a 96 70 hp johnson that dies at about 4000 rpm. Starts fine, will idle all day, and run well under 2200 rpm. Will be motoring along fine and then the rpm's just drop and engine stalls but will restart without a problem. Suspected fuel, and have changed fuel/water separator, primer bulb but with no change. Have not been able to get to the bulb quick enough to see if pumping it makes any difference when engine starts to stall. Carbs were rebuilt this past spring (complete kits). Plenty of oil in resivoir, all warning lights are functioning. Any ideas?? Also, what should the maximum rpm be for this engine, mine does not go over 4500, Thanks"
