Looking for info on a 1976 135hp Motor on a boat I just bought

[Inkmann]

I just bought a 1976 Arrow Glasss Cheetah 19' with a 135hp Johnson serial # J4583576

It ran OK for the 1st half hour then it died, I could not get much more than an troll speed when it was put in forward when it was running.

I am interested in getting some help/suggestions

I would also like to get the manual for this motor, If anyone has one in a PDF or hard copy that would be great! Or if someone will lend me theirs I can make professional copies at work (a printing company) and bind them up for me and you, all at my cost including the shipping.

Let me know your thoughts

Thanks
John

Start by checking spark and compression. As for a manual, the following link should assist you.
