    96 Evinrude 50 Cutting Out

    weak ignition on a cyl will show up just by feeling the heads with your hand. just because you can't trip limp mode in the driveway doesn't mean you can't detect the cause.

    2000 50hp Johnson 2 Stroke will idle, then die when put in gear and will not start again

    i would warm it up on muffs and feel the cyl heads to make sure they're all hot to the touch. an adjustable gap spark tester will show if the spark is strong enough to be eliminated from the problem list, set gap to 3/8...

    2000 50hp Johnson 2 Stroke will idle, then die when put in gear and will not start again

    you haven't proved its firing on both cyls under load. compression is excellent, carbs are rebuilt, great. spark on both cyls is nice but you haven't proved its not dropping spark under load, a spark gap tester set to 3/8 inch will help. so far the problem is a perfect description of an engine...

    when it begins to fade give it a quick choke to see if its leaning out. it might be gagging on exh fumes, run without the hood to see if it runs better.

    Johnson 88hp

    how do you know it was flooded, did you pull the plugs and crank the excess fuel out of the cyl's ? i flooded my 150 in Boston harbor by accidentally leaning against the choke whilst under way, i held the throttle wide open and cranked it to clear the cyl's and it restarted ok. test the float...

    Johnson stops dead!

    you can simulate heat stroke with a hair dryer if you have 120v at the dock. use an IR gun to see what temp it cuts out , and check cooling . it does sound like the PP is failing.

    qd20 10hp wont rev up.

    piston and rings look ok, i recall installing the donut seal, its in there. looking at the drawing of the carb i had confused the hi and low needles, bottom one is hi speed, so i was adjusting the idle all this time, duh. i'm confident it will tune up just fine in the morning.

    qd20 10hp wont rev up.

    i ran it again and tried troubleshooting, in gear at wot i choked it for a second and it bogged even more, it tells me its not a lean bog, its just too rich. stopped it and screwed the red needle in until seated and came out one turn, then ran it again, its starting to respond to needle...

    1985 Johnson 150 idle surge

    this is the troubleshooting i would try, see if the problem follows a pack. i would also revisit the scene of the most recent service and look at the carbs. did the PO rebuild all or just the one. junk in one could be the same for all of them. examine the filter, replace with new and open the...
