What's your idle speed when in the water in gear. A model # would also help ???

Re: Johnson 225 outboard tbl

A lot of the newer V6 motors have a shift assist switch. This switch kills spark to one bank of cylinders. On my '98 the shift assist switch is a PIA. When shifting from forward to neutral, it will sometimes stick and the motor will stall.

Fact------That switch is available in my opinion.----- Just not not as a " plug and play" out of the package.------It is used on other models with different length wires.----Therefor a different part # is used.-----A competent person can easily make it work !
