Need a Marine Mechanic - 150HP Johnson

[olbarneybasser]

Thanks to those who have replied already...still working on this. Here's the problem...

Motor ran good, then all of a sudden...crap. Stalls, runs rough, all over the place. Narrowed it down to a suspected fuel delivery problem. Bought a VRO rebuild kit and rebuilt the fuel pump.

Reinstalled. Started up, ran a little rough at idle 800+/-rpm. Once over 1000/1100 rpm seems to run nicely. Is it pulling in too much air, then when more fuel is delivered I have right mix? Then after a few minutes...no oil alarm sounds. Killed the engine. Checked primer bulb on oil line...hard. Pulled oil inlet hose to pump...oil is there. Obviously oil in oil reservior. Restart, warning alarm is out. Run a few minutes...bam, no oil alarm again. Exhaust seems to indicate oil is getting there.

So here's where I'm at:

• Want to get it to idle properly.
• Need to be sure I'm getting oil in and kill the alarm (don't care if I have to direct mix in boat tank).
