Thanks everyone I'm sure the overheating has hurt my motor, I will confirm it though as soon as I can get my hands on a comp checker. I think I'm also going to have to get a manuel. Is there one any better than the other?? How difficult is it to pull the head?
Let me tell you guys what happened , I was out running at about 18 mph. The johnson 15 hp was running great all day.As i was coming back as I said at 18mph it started to bog then shut shut dowm, I saw a plume of steam and knew I got hot. I pulled the cover off and Yep hot! i rowed back to the dock loaded up went home strap on some muff and was able to only get it to start at full throttle. At first the pee hole looked weak, I got my cmpressor and blew out the pee hole and the intake, agian restarted it at full throttle and I have a better flow. I bought this almost a year ago. The guy I bought it from had a new carb kit and water pump kit installed. like i said it has been virtually trouble free. So there you have it . Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Spin
