First-Timer Here.
I Have had major Idle/Starting problems since owning a 150 Johnson(2006) now a year old. It has been in the shop no less then 6 times and has never ran well at slow speeds.
Dealer has adjusted timming/idle.. replaced choke..replaced key switch...and put in new oil pump as it went out also last year. Got it back from shop Friday and ran great Saturday. (850rpm at idle) it was always at 1200rpm. Today Sunday put it in went 1/4 mile and engine just died (shut down) while on plane. Never could get it re-started. Gas and oil bulbs were pumped and full.
Dealer and I are childhood friends (Great people) but I'm getting irritated that I cannot rely on this motor and have to take it to the shop so often. Any suggestions I can give to the dealer as I am no mechanic.
