Hey guys, so I got a new boat. Has a 1992 70HP Johnson.
Started cold ok, took a lot of pushing in the key and restarting to get it to idle. When it did finally idle it was idling around 1600 RPM. Is this normal RPM at idle in the driveway?
Second, my brother flipped the red lever down on the fuel priming solenoid when it was running and it died, and now I can't get it to restart. I pulled the plugs, cranked it a few times, and by then my battery was dead. It's on the charger tonight. I've got new plugs to put in tomorrow and I'm hopeful it was just flooded.
Any thought? Seemed to idle well once it ran, but now I can't get it to start since the red lever was flipped.
