So, interesting question... I've read a lot of forums about parts failing when heating up, but haven't seen anything about parts starting to work properly when hot.
I have a 1995 Johnson 225 (J225TXEOB) which is very down on HP when it's cold. When running for about 20 minutes or so there is a sudden and very noticeable increase in power with no corresponding throttle change.
This weekend I was cruising at 30mph, and suddenly I was doing 38mph. All with no input from me!
The idle does feel like it's missing, however there is spark on all 6.
This is a bit undesirable as water skiing first thing in the morning is what I have the boat for, but being so down on HP makes it a bit harder getting out of the water.
I'm pretty mechanically inclined, so I can pretty much tackle anything, but I'd like some advice before I go throwing expensive parts at it!
Thanks in advance
Brodie
