"Hello, would appreciate feedback. Engine information. Johnson 55 hp outboard, serial # J3006016, model # ESL69A. After several weeks of maintenance this engine cranks right over and purrs like a kitten. Runs beautifully at any speed. Cany you believe it! Here in lies the problem. After about 90 minutes of running, bringing throttle down anywhere below 1/2 throttle she starts to sputter or hic-up, down to a slow crawl and she stalls. She will crank but not turn over or fire again. After an hour she will crank over and run again but not well and soon start to hic-up. If I wait a day, she will start right away and run and purr wonderfully for the same 90 minutes and the process starts over again. The 55 sits aboard a 1969 Larson All American 146 that I have nicely refurbished and included a pic. Thank You for any thoughts."
