[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 110921, member: 1485"] Ok, backstory: Bought a used Johnson 50 from a feller in Minnesota. Great guy. Honest. Helped me install it and hook everything up. Ran great. Brought it home and the trouble started. Changed fuel line. Replaced spark plugs. It runs a bit better, but not much. Weird thing is I can get it to run fine idle great in the driveway. Then I go to the lake, and it bogs down after starting, starts hard, and won't idle even after running it for awhile. Yesterday was the first time ever that I was able to idle the motor after running it across the lake. But it only did it once. Got it back home. Hooked up the garden hose and started it. Ran just fine and idled like a dream. WTF is going on?? Why does it run fine in my driveway and not on the water? I realize there's a joke in there somewhere, but seriously... [/QUOTE]
