Got an issue, need thoughts please - 01/03/17 10:39 PM
On New Year's day I got out on the water and did the same startup, warmup and run as always. I was buzzing across the lake 35-40 mph and engine starts to bog and dies.
I tried to start with a couple of cranks and it tried too but didn't start.
I pulled the cowling and the breather and it was obvious it flooded out.
Could this mean I need to rebuild carbs or does it sound like the electric choke kicked in?
I left it open and fished for about 45 minutes then it stared right up and no issues the rest of the day.
Never had this happen, never an issue cold starting or running.
It's a 1996 Johnson Fast Strike.
Thanks!
