[QUOTE="WALI4VR, post: 458897, member: 21653"] For whatever it's worth... I've had 3 friends with those 3 cylinder motors have almost exactly the same mistake. After many hours of checking this, that, and every other thing we could think of I called on an old friend, outboard motor technician. I hope your problem isn't what all 3 friends had. With engine warmed up and idling, try spraying some carb cleaner along the seam where the two halves of the block mate together. If the motor speeds up the mating surface is no longer sealed. It means a complete disassembly of the engine to repair it. My first friend junked his and repowered the boat, the second guy sold his unit for cheap, and the third because of his background as an auto tech bought a Johnson repair manual and repaired his himself. Best of luck and I hope your problem is not the same as theirs was. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
