I have a 2000, 115 hp Johnson. It is running choppy at low-end, occasionally stalling. It idles fine, and it runs fine at top speed, but the trouble shows up when going at a trolling speed. Here's the deal- I just had some work done to it. After trying a few things we finally learned that it needed a new power pack. One of the other things that was tried was installing carb kits (all 4 carbs).
My question is, has anyone else had a similar experience after either rebuilding the carbs or replacing the power pack? Could it be a fuel thing with the carbs or a timing thing with the power pack? The other option is that, since it hasn't ran well for a while, it simply needs to burn some things off. I'm hoping that's the case.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
