Have a 95 model 115 v4 Johnson , 90 degree, carburated, model J115TLEO.Motor performed flawlessly except for cold natured at startup,<br />"sneezing", would die three or four times before it would run.After motor ran for three to four minutes, ran perfect remainder of day, would start and idle first crank.Three different mechanics told me not to worry they were just cold natured. Then one day after stopping to fish for about an hour,hard to start and did not want to idle and wanted to "fall on its nose" when accelerated hard.Finally managed to get her up on plane ,ran fine high speed back to dock. Took her to a certified Johnson mechanic,Told him to go over it with a fine tooth comb,wanted it fixed right.He told me all it needed was the timing advanced. Did not sound right to me but I thought I would try it.Next trip more cold natured than ever,Idled about 1400 rpm (use to idle 900)otherwise ran fine. I felt it had to clunk to hard to go in too gear at this Rpm,was not happy with it and took it back to him.Ask<br />him to adjust with the motor submerged so their<br />would be back pressure,ask him if it was recirc<br />lines(learned that here)and reset timing back and reduce idle.When I picked it up he said he "re-jeted" the low speed jets bigger for more fuel at idle.When I got home took off the cowling and noticed timing nut still in same position on adjustment rod.Have not ran it yet,love this motor, any of this sound right? I am skeptical. Thought it was important to relate whole story. Thanks in advance for any advice.
