    Miss at High RPM's

    Hi all. I've got a 1997 Johnson 115 crossflow. Motor starts and runs great. I've owned new motors that didn't run this good. My problem starts around 4500 Rpm's and continues up through 5500rpm's. It will start to have a miss like a cylinder is losing fire. And it doesn't do it until the engine...

    I did something stupid

    Carburetors on a 97 Johnson 115 90deg. I put rebuild kits in them and in the process of knocking out the core plugs, I made a BooBoo. I was using a screw instead of a punch and after I knocked it in, I gave it an additional turn. It went deeper than it needed too. Now one of the holes that was...
