I just took ownership of a 1987 Sylvan Pontoon, 40hp Johnson VRO outboard. It had been sitting 2 years...
Cleaned out gas tank, refilled with fresh 93 octane.
New Plugs
New Battery
Flushed bad gas from fuel line, and inspected filter.
Pulled the carbs drained and sprayed clean, nothing more. Reinstalled.
Heres my issue: With the Manual Primer lever I can start it, but then it dies out. Over and over again, its sounding a ton better than when I started working on it. But it just keeps dieing out.
Any suggestions would be nice as I have only worked on 25hp, and 75hp, Johnsons in the past, and they just simply ran good...
Sold the Woody for something a little less time consuming,
