My motor is giving me headaches. Its a mid 80s Johnson 120 ARO. The oil pump is disconnected and I mix my fuel. It warms up ok and runs ok, for alittle while; then all of a sudden it comes off step. The rpms dont rev up or anything like that. I pull the throttle back to neutral, then push it forward and off I go for a short distance.
Whats funny is the **** tube is pissing away! but it seems so hot. Is it possible that the thermostat is stuck in the closed postion? How do I check that? And is it a big deal to replace it?
Any info would be of help, thanks.
