" Hi Joe,
I've got the '96 130 Johnson that I recently got running very well with your help. I've got a new problem that occured while on the water. After the engine gets to temp and sits for awhile it doesn't want to start. I pumped up the bulb and get it...

" I rebuilt and cleaned my carbs this weekend. On my test drive I could tell that my engine now seems to idle smoother and I think starts easier. It was dieing when opened up. Now it doesn't die as easily but it sounds like it's bogging and gurgling for a couple...

" This engine starts easily and runs strong but when I open it up from idle it falls flat on it's face. If I pump the throttle as I take off it gets past the slump and scoots. Also dies when idling in gear. Any thoughts?

I am very very new to this forum. Within like 15 minutes of finding it this morning I asked a question of Joe. He picked up my question and ran with it. Within an hour I received email from him that totally diagnosed my PTT problem. Within another hour I...
