Hey new here,
I have a question hoping for some direction. I purchased a boat last summer with a 1993 Johnson 140 on it. I've had multiple issues all minor like water in gas, kill switch short, fouled plugs , stator went out, dirty carbs. I have been able to repair all of that but now I have a strange issue i cant figure out.
Last weekend i put the boat in the water for the first time this year and it fired fine and ran well for 30 mins. Then I lost all power to the engine. It continues to run but even with the throttle wide open it putts along. Its almost like it over heating and has a rev limiter but i do not get an alarm sounding or anything. Its an older boat so it does not have a temp gauge. I am finding all kinds of information from it being the power pack to the water pump (even tho I have a strong stream of water being pump out the tail. Any guidance woudl be greatly appreciated....
