" I have a 69' 85h Johnson

" I have a 69' 85h Johnson on 16' Arrowglass. It has been sitting for a year do to an Amplifier problem. Replaced the Amplifier and now the engine starts great every time and if you throttle up with out being in gear it throttles up good, if you put it in gear and throttle to full it only goes about 5Mph and doesn't even get enough to plain out. Before it sat for the year it would run great. Any Ideas?

Thanks, Eric "

"Eric.... It only "Sounds Good" being out of gear as there's no pressure (load) on the engine to speak of, but there's actually no power being generated by the engine.... however when it's in gear, the pressure is there and no power being generated results in a bad running engine. When any outboard sits for a couple months or more, the carburetors foul/gum/varnish up. Double check the compression and ignition first so that you don't go to any unnecessary work... then remove, clean, and rebuilt the carburetors.
