"I just rebuilt a 1992 175 hp

"I just rebuilt a 1992 175 hp Johnson. I first started motor and noticed it was coughing and missing out. I changed wires,plugs,power pack, all coils. sensor (optical ignition), stator. What will happen Ill start motor and warm up a little and run out motor which now will run like a raped ape. Ill shut down fish a while 20 minutes or so and I cant get the motor to run no mater what I do. I am mixing gas/oil and using electric fuel pump I might add all new stuff. only thing left is regulator/rectifier. I also changed all recirculation valves and rebuilt carbs and checked float levels twice. Please help me I am about to tear this motor apart and sell off parts HELP NEEDED PLEASE............... rwrioux"
 
"Almost sounds like a fuel iss

"Almost sounds like a fuel issue. Tank pick-up, vent, lines, bulb, leaking fittings? I would try a portable tank with new primer, lines, fittings, fresh fuel. Hook that up when it misbehaves & see if your troubles go away. I rebuilt a 55 once. Gave me fits. Turned out the new plastic fuel tank I was using lost the dip-rod, when tank was completely full, ran fine. Once it dipped--couldn't get it to start."
