"We have a 1989,175 h.p. Johns
"We have a 1989,175 h.p. Johnson outboard. Ever since we bought our boat,2years ago, we have a problem on the cold start. We get the engine started but can't put the throttle down and put it in gear for awhile. It will konk out when we try. This is sometimes 30 mins. It idles kind of rough while we are waiting. Once we hear a click sound coming from the motor, the rpms go up and then we know we can put the throttle down, put it in gear and go. This only happens on cold starts. My husband changed the fuel bulb and lines one weekend and it was fine for that weekend so we thought we solved the problem but the next weekend it started all over again. He also checked the spark plugs. No one can seem to figure it out. HELP!!!"
