[QUOTE="jig master, post: 196639, member: 5174"] I just bought a 14' alumacraft MV Jon with an early 80s 25hp pull start johnson. The motor starts fine, and works great in reverse and neutral. It will putz around fine in forward, but once you crack it open to get on pad the motor will bog down after about three seconds and if you don't pull back on the throttle it will kill the engine. It will start right up again, but the same problem is always replicated. I had a buddy who's a small engine mechanic clean the carb and it looked good. We pulled the plugs and tested compression and everything was ok. Anyone have any idea what could cause this? :roll: thanks in advance Marty [/QUOTE]
