I recently inherited a boat with a Johnson 40HP VRO motor. It's not running right; I suspect it's a simple thing but I'm at a loss right now, and figured I'd ask around.
Basic scenario: Fresh gas, connected right, pumped up (oil reservoir also). Battery charged and cranking.
When I turn the key (push it in, which I think is the choke; lift the throttle lever) it cranks, catches, revs up .. and dies after about two seconds.
If I do it again, same story .. it catches and quits, catches and quits (after a few times the battery runs down, of course).
Can anyone tell me the simple thing I've forgotten?
there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
