Hi all
I am working on a friends "new" old 1984 35hp Johnson, I have done a lot of work to this motor & every time I get one thing fixed something else goes wrong. I have replaced the starter solinoid, I allso replaced all the engine wiring (It was all "rotten") Thought I had it all fixed, and then he calls saying it won't start, I found a stuck needle valve in the carb. It then ran for two trips, now he calls me & tells me "it's slipping" (In gear @ near full throttle boat slows down) I've had a couple of Mercury lower ends apart before & found a parts picture of the Johnson online & they look basicly the same. I see nothing that would "slip" It's all splined & keyed gears that wouldn't slip, well not without a bunch of noise I would assume.
Anybody ever dealt with something like this?
Thanks
Steve
