"First of all, thanks for having me!!
Heres the problem. I have a 97 Johnson 115 Faststrike. I have been tackling this for two months, with no luck. Engine will crank fine, but will not idle for more than a few minutes, acts like it is dying of fuel starvation. The first time diagnosing, I disassemble enough of the lower cowling to see the sight glass, appeared that fuel pump was working. Second time, the engine WOULD idle, let it idle for 15 minutes on muffs. Took it out on the water, will not idle. I can keep it idling by pumping bulb. Even got up on plane and ran a short distance with buddly pumping bulb. Now it will not idle for more than a few minutes. Pulled fuel line off of carb and fuel was being pumped out, so appears fuel pump is working. I have changed plugs, fuel lines, primer bulb and thermostats. Also, just this week, the no oil light will come on and steady alarm will sound Please help!! If anyone has any ideas, and can get more detailed, sorry to be such long winded"
