I have a 1963 Johnson FD-17B 18hp. I am having problems with starting. When I start motor it goes wide open. It ran and idled fine 3 Months ago and now I can't get it to throttle down when starting. Anyone have any suggestions?
I recently dropped the lower unit to check the condition of the impeller and I can't get it back in. When I tighten the bolts the engine locks up and will not turn.I can't figure out what I did wrong.
