[QUOTE="Wrboz, post: 486549, member: 28314"] I have a ‘86 Johnson 20 on a 14 foot boat. It starts hard. I can chug around all day at idle speed when I’m trolling. Basically idling in gear gives me 2.5-3.0gps speed. Pop it out of gear to land fish, back into gear to troll again. No problems. Runs for hours. Trouble is, if I run it down the lake at speed, it will not start again. It stalls as soon as I throttle back. It will go 26.0gps opened up, with 2 adults onboard. It runs smoothly at WOT. But no way, no how will it start again, like until tomorrow. Anybody ever experience this? I thinking a carb rebuild is in order, but wondering if there’s something else I should be looking at also. Thanks, Bill [/QUOTE]
