[QUOTE="fearthewopr, post: 504955, member: 34592"] Hi, I am pretty new here, but I have a 71 Johnson 9.5. I know very little about troubleshooting outboard motors currently. It starts and runs decently (Doesnt idle well, so, probably needs some carb work), but the problem is that it doesn't go anywhere. What I know so far: With the motor not running, the prop does not spin freely while in F or R. (It takes a little force to turn it). When I shift to N, it does spin freely. I see the prop turn when I pull start it while in F, but once it's started, it's not turning. There is water still being sucked up and splashing everywhere when running in water, which is why I thought everything was fine. I'm not sure what to do next. Can anyone help? It also seems like normal earmuffs don't fit over the intake on this if anyone has ideas for that... [/QUOTE]
