    High fuel consumption, rough idle

    Hi guys, my 1982 Johnson 140 J140TLCNB is giving me grief. It's hard to start, doesn't want to idle in neutral but will idle in gear. Won't idle on muffs, it backfires and dies.

    Evinrude 140 won't start

    Gday guys, I'm new to the world of boats. I've got an Evinrude 140hp that I've had out on the water a couple of times, and for the most part runs well. I had it out a couple of weeks ago and every time I restarted the engine it started fine, until one time it didn't. When I turned the ignition...
