2003 Johnson 50 hp. Vro was changed to regular fuel pump after top cylinder was scored. The top cylinder was bored and the piston and rod replaced by the previous owner. Compression is 165 on the top and 163 on the other. Carburetors rebuilt, good power pack, timing right on the mark. The motor is hard to start cold. Then when you try to use the fast idle lever to speed it up it takes off and runs away. Keeps running @ 3500 with the key off and spark plug wires removed. The only way to stop it is cover the carbs with your hand to choke it off. Driving me crazy.
