Hi! I haven't posted in a while. I just came upon a 2001 204 Angler Walkaround w a Johnson 135 HP. I went through the sleeping engine checklist
-dumped all fuel
-all new fuel lines and oil lines
-carbs rebuilt w carb kits
-all new plugs
-new water pump and housing
-changed lower unit oil
Engine had not run in 3-4 years but was put away/winterized properly. Before sleeping it ran great. i've been told. It was my father in laws (so i kinda trust him).
Motor turned over first try!! But doesnt stay running for long. Seems to "sneeze" alot. After several go rounds I checked the plugs. 3 plugs had black carbon deposits the 4th was wet and gassy, but i checked spark and it is good. Fuel pump is pumping good, checked that. Any ideas????
I have always had a carbuerated small block V8. That was simple to me. This is my first outboard.
