Hello folks,
My 1988 15 HP Johnson manual start motor has a nagging problem. The red throttle interlock lever keeps engaging at random times, preventing me from starting the motor out on the water. I have to pull the motor cover and disengage the red lever lever, then pull on the rope and it starts easy.. Shifter in neutral, throttle in start or idle position, and the darn thing locks up. What a pain! Is there an easy fix for this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
