1988 Johnson V6 150 hp

[Jammer040]

Well after more messing with it last night it seems to start up cold great and run good until it warms up and then it shuts down. It is still pumping water sound i don't think it is over heating due to a bad water pump, but I just don't know what to look at next. Any help would be great. Thanks

almost forgot it is a 1988 Johnson V6 150 hp

More info required.
Does it shut down suddenly as if you had turned the key off?
If so, check for spark right after it shuts down.
Does it start to run poorly and eventually die?
If so, check to see if it's getting fuel, see if the primer bulb is collapsed, see if the tank vent is open.
Im not a technician but I do know that when a motor stops running its more than likely (but not always) a fuel problem or an electrical problem and the first diagnostic step is determining which one you have.

It is better to open just one thread on a problem than to open three, it makes it difficult to follow the issue with information in more than one thread.
