My old 40 hp johnson (40R 70A) starts and runs nice for a short while only if the choke is kept on full. If the choke is removes, the RPMs drop and the motor dies. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I just received a 14" boat with a 40 hp Johnson outboard. It was sitting exposed to the weather for a couple of years without being used. What should I do before trying to fire it up ? The head has been replaced - how can I find info on it ? All help is greatly appreciated.
