    J30JRSIE 30 hp Outboard - Carb Question

    Ok sorry about the delay. I have not been able to fiddle with this until today. I decided to first start dealing with spark, it just seemed like it was only running on one cylinder. I took the boat down to the river and hooked up my inline spark tester and was able to see that I had spark on...

    J30JRSIE 30 hp Outboard - Carb Question

    Hey guys I will follow up on both of these posts. I don’t have a compression tester at the moment though. I was wondering if I had lost spark possibly on a cyclinder and was gonna check that out. I’m headed out of town for a few days so I won’t have a chance to mess with it for a bit.

    J30JRSIE 30 hp Outboard - Carb Question

    Just to follow up, I got the boat in the water today and that unfortunately did not solve the problem so I need to keep troubleshooting. The motor starts and idles fine but at full throttle doesn’t go very fast. I can only go about 5 mile an hour at full throttle. Previous year I had no issues...

    J30JRSIE 30 hp Outboard - Carb Question

    Thanks for the reply, I just wasn’t sure if for some reason that top carb was meant to not have that in there. What purpose does that plug serve? Would there be a reason someone would have removed it?

    J30JRSIE 30 hp Outboard - Carb Question

    Hi all, I have a 30 horse Johnson jet that is having some run issues. JS30JRSIE. It starts and idles fine but when I try to throttle up it doesn’t always want to. It will come in and out of acceleration. It accelerates up to speed and will run at full speed and then will just bog down...

    Honda BF8A Stalling During Gear Shift

    I have a Honda BF8A. This was a craigslist find. The motor will start up no problem and run in neutral all day without problem but the second I try to shift into gear the engine shuts down. It will spin the prop for about half a second. Now with that said today I had it on the water and was...
