[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 324501, member: 6694"] I had what sounds like a similar problem with my 15 HP Johnson last year. I took it out and it would only run to about 1/4 of its normal power (less speed than the 5 HP I had on the boat previously. Problem went away when I gave the carb a good cleaning. the carb didn't appear to have any gum or varnish in it either, but there was definitely something in there that came out. :mrgreen: . Maybe your problem is just as simple. Best of luck with it. [/QUOTE]
