My 1998 Johnson 200 Ocean Runner is having problems at idle, and at acceleration (bogs down and dies). The boat sat for about two years.<br /><br />I re-built the carbs, but I couldn't find a kit to rebuild with, so I used the same gaskets. Same goes for the fuel pump.<br /><br />I realize that I may need to re-build the carbs and replace the gaskets, but I can't find the kit. Can anybody help me with a p/n number for the fuel pump and carbs?<br /><br />The last question I had was with carb adjustments. I really only see one adjustment for the low speed air in-take. From what I have read on this forum, I should tighten them, then back them up 2 1/2 to 3 rotations. Is this model specific, or is this just a general reference?<br /><br />As a note, the engine appears to run fine with a hose hooked up to it, but when I put it under a load in the water is when I have the above problems. After re-building the carbs I took it out and had the above problems. Once I got the boat on a plane, the engine ran perfectly fine for about 3 minutes, then just died. I was able to restart the engine after about 5-10 minutes and had the same problems again. Is it the same problem, or do I have to problems? Should I look at my thermostat?<br /><br />The plugs all look good, but I did replace and re gap them to the manuals recommendation.
