I just got a 1982 4.5hp Johnson Seahorse (J5RHCNR). I have encountered a few problems with it .
1. After running for about 3-5 minutes, engine starts to die out. If I squeeze the bulb on the fuel tank line, it will come back up to speed. No interior fuel tank, only external.
2. When the line from the fuel tank is disconnected, some fuel will flow then drip out from the engine at the fuel connector. I don?t think this is supposed to happen?..could this be causing Problem #1 ?
3. Black oil oozes from the port ?weephole? at the joint of the gearcase and leg after engine sits for a day, off dinghy, on motor stand.
.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
