    1988 Johnson GT 175 fuel starvation

    The loose magnet is not going to cure the fuel delivery problem, rebuild the VRO. Also make sure the cooling system is 100% as this is the big bore 175 with thin sleeves. The slighest overheat and you got a rebuild on yer hands....

    Johnson 70 hp 3 cyl / 2-stroke dies when giving more throttle

    If engine internals are in mechanically good shape, no. Reason being that when piston starts down stroke the crankcase pressure will push them shut. Also it wouldn't idle worth a dang if reed/s stayed open.
