I have a 1985 Johnson 115 motor. Starts great. Ran great out of wake area. When I throttled to plane, sounded great and after about 10 seconds, motor cut off like lost fuel. Tried again, started and ran until throttled. After a couple time, started lake checks. First dropped throttle at start of stall, and engine stayed running at idle. Open comartment behind me to see ball. Throttled and ball never collapsed. Then again and pumped ball to see if pump. No effect. When returned home, I found that if I pumped the ball and wiggled the fuel connector on the motor, drops of fuel leaked. The fitting is not tight.
Could this be my air leak and cause this problem? T15 gallon tank is vented and open. I spent the rest of my day traveling at no wake speed. Long day. Thanks for any help.
