I was having MAJOR problems with my '99 Johnson 90 with the charging system. I got it repaired and finally got back out on the lake today. The problem is, the motor idles OK.... for about thirty seconds at 1100-1200 RPM and then dies. It takes several times to get it cranked and when I do, it refuses to take gas and dies. I have to crank and jam the stick forward several times before it takes enough gas to get going. Once it gets going at full throttle it sounds and acts great. Just can't troll at anything between 1000 and 2500 RPM without it's crapping out on me.<br /><br />This thing sat up for about three months before I was able to get it repaired for the electrical problem. I was told that the carb was full of oil from the oil reservoir when they went in to fix the charging problem.<br /><br />It idles great on the trailer hooked up to the hose but refuses to do what it's supposed to do on the water.<br /><br />Is there anything I can check/do to make this thing do what it is supposed to? Today just made the saying "a bad day fishing is better than the best day working" no so true.... I fish for stripers on Kerr Lake in NC all year long and I've been pretty much going nutz while the boat has been down. I need some real help.... quickly!!!<br /><br />Thanks
