    1997 Johnson 40 oil injected isn't getting fuel

    Sooooo here's the update. Installed the rebuilt carbs today got it started and was working to get them dialed in. Decided to put the airbox on and proceeded to drop one of the bolts in the process. It fell down into the cowl and nestled next to the shift rod. I got my grabbers and proceeded...

    1997 Johnson 40 oil injected isn't getting fuel

    4.3 TKS bogs and won't rev past 3600

    Well I just ordered a TKS rebuild kit from Mikes along with a new brass float. If the re-rebuild doesn't cure it I'll check fuel pressure on the new fuel pump, it's a Sierra branded pump so.......... Thanks for the reassuring words. I was getting a bit irritated with the whole darn thing...
