My 92 Johnson 150 Fast Strike has been running great until yesterday. Motor cranked fine, but I immediately noticed something wasn't right because the engine speed barely went up from idle using the fast idle lever. Motor would run at idle but was rough and didn't sound right. When I put it in gear there was almost no acceleration - barely above a good idle at full throttle. The motor had some vibration and seemed like it wasn't firing on all cylinders. I ran it two weeks ago and it ran great. I filled up the tank with fresh fuel the night before. I checked the plugs when I got home and they looked okay and all were firing - at least enough to get a spark turning the engine over.
Any suggestions on what to start checking? My first thought was ignition problem but I really don't know what to check first.
Thanks for any all help,
Gary
