stalls under load

[cdspanky]

Recently purchased a 1988 johnson 60 hp. motor has very low hours and has been stored for aprox2 yrs. I started it out of the water and it seemed OK but idled rough. In water, it stalled when I shifted and would not idle low enough to shift. Carbs are spitting fuel. Cleaned the plugs - didn't help.

Re: stalls under load

Hi,<br />1. Carbs may be in need for overhaul (carb kit).<br />2. Fuel pump (diaphragm set) could be bad also.<br /><br /><br />Remember also that impeller (water pump) may need to be changed (impeller kit) if service status is unknown (when was it last changed?). It should be changed in 2-3 year or so interval usually.
