I have a 1997 Johnson faststrike that i am having issues with. The motor idles fine but when i give it throttle it just dies. I have changed the plugs and checked the gap. I also changed the the fuel filter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am not an expert but I just made the same post on the EXACT same problem from this weekend. I had a small pin hole in my fuel line from the priming bulb to the bellypan. Pump the ball so tight and then keep pumping it to see where it is leaking, also look at the windon on the inside to see if there are air bubbles.
I checked the engine for gas leaks i found that one of the gaskets on the on of the carbs was leaking i went ahead and rebuild all of the carbs. After all of this it still will not get on plane and dies most of the time like the key was turned off. When i do get it on plane it has a miss and almost stalls. Any ideas?
