    Johnson 150/175 carb saw

    Yes, check fuse located near starter solenoid. Rubber boot it in. If it's good probably bad or corroded wires. Always wondered what the "GT" stood for?

    Need your opinion about replacing the original Reed Valves in my 1986 Evinrude 30 hp.

    I've had poor luck with ngks even though there's many on here that like them. Come up with your own opinion. Lean the two-stroke oil back, change the plugs possibly get an electric motor to troll with.

    Engine power loss

    Most likely it your pickup screen in your tank....not your vent. Put a portable tank in and test. If that does it, install a spin on fuel filter and remove the screen from the pickup tube. Do you run ethanol fuel in it? Do you fill your tank during the off season. How your gas cap....I must...

Are you familiar with the 3 positions? Are all the tubes good and in place? At the end of the tiller you should be able to adjust the...

    9.9 Evinrude 4 stroke carb modifications for idle

    It's mostly done by look, listen and feel. For those loosing or that never had that 6th sense, on 2 strokes, clockwise until the lean sneeze than 1/4 turn counter clock......and wait 30 seconds. Than micro turning until you get lucky. It takes time to find the "sweet spot" brings a smile to...

    Need your opinion about replacing the original Reed Valves in my 1986 Evinrude 30 hp.

    If you don't need the "squirt choke" to start it it's probably running to rich. Get a spark jump tester and see how far the arc will jump. Might have weak coils or corroded wires. Carb is the most likely culprit though.... Ethanol, old gas stations, fuel filter, yada yada yada...
