  • 1993 40 HP Johnson won't idle

    My 1993 40 HP TJ40ELETB is hard to get cranked and when it does it will only idle for a couple of minutes then it acts like it is starving for fuel and shuts down. Took it to the lake 2 weeks ago it was hard to start but when i got it to start and into gear before going dead it ran like a top. Back to the lake last week and would not start at all. I rebuilt the carbs last fall and it would start the minute you touched the key. I took the carbs off today and re-cleaned them. did not help. Squeezing bulb does not help when it starts to go dead. Even though bulb, fuel lines and fuel pump are 10 yrs old they are not leaking any gas. carb adjustment doesn't seem to help. When I disconnect the fuel line going from the fuel pump to the carb fuel pumps out. I'm out of ideas, any suggestions would be helpful.

    Try bumping choke to see if helps keep it running if so then still plugged passages or jets in carbs.
