hello to all again. it has been awhile.<br /><br />motor is a 98 johnson 225 oceanrunner. i mix my own oil. i would run it for a hour or two. then when i shut down and then start up about 20 mins later. it will be hard to start and then bog down when i go into gear. <br /><br />i do notice that it is about 5000 rpm when i put it in gear. <br /><br />to get me out of this situation. i would start it and then rev it up in neutral and let it do it for a few secs. then when it would go back to normal operation.<br /><br />what can it b?]]\\\<br /><br />i got water pressure gauge and it show good. but i do not see much shot our of tattle tale?<br /><br />is my idle low? i might be mixing too rich. could this be a factor or can it be a fould plug?<br /><br />my fuel is clean too. and i got all spark.
