Hello everyone.
I have a '94 johnson 88spl that i recently bought. It runs fine on the muffs ( you can engage fwd or rev) but i put the boat in the water and it started up ok (didnt run quite as smooth as it did on the muffs) but when you put it in gear it runs for a few seconds and then stalls.I have fresh fuel in it. I am thinking carb problems but i'm not sure why it runs fine on the muffs but not in the water.Could this be because the motor is not under a load?
Any help would be appreciated.
