I've got a fourwinns 170 Freedom with a 115 Johnson outboard on it 2 stroke. Both from 1995. Over the last couple of years the motor would lose power for what seemed like no reason. And then it would kick back in and everything was fine. This year I took it out and from the start I could only get the rpm's and hense the speed up maybe half of what it should do. It has always been hard to start, but this power problem is fairly new. It feels like there is a gas feed problem. I change the filter, and put new premium gas in but that didn't help.
It's hard to do anything on the motor when it is on the trailer. Water muffs work for idle and starting but you can't run full throttle with that set up.
Looking for some ideas before i have to take it in for repairs.
