Default Re: Need a Marine Mechanic - 150HP Johnson

those johnsons are notorious for carb issues causing all kinds of problems, and they need FRESH clean plugs, U would be amazed at what kinds on seemingly unrelated things happen. When was the last time u cleaned or rebuilt the carbs? Gerry suggestion of a portable tank is a good idea and so is a spark tester, u may have a miss. Rule out this simple things, the mechanic is gonna do them anyway off the bat and whack u 75-100 an hour as he goes down the list of basics
